Prune - Application for managing coordinate data from GPS

Postby edgarchen » Thu Oct 16, 2008 9:19 am

Hi, Guys

Would like to share with you some cool free applications for your GPS. :thumbsup:

Introducing Image

Overview of recorded tracks
It can load data from arbitrary text-based formats (for example, any tab-separated or comma-separated file) or Xml, display the data (as top-down view and altitude profile), edit this data (for example delete points and ranges, sort waypoints, compress tracks), and save the data (in various text-based formats). It can also export data as a Gpx file, or as Kml/Kmz for import into Google Earth.

Housekeeping of recorded tracks.
And include cleaning up tracks by deleting wayward points - either recorded by error or by unintended detours. It can also be used to compare and combine tracks, convert to and from various formats, compress tracks, export data to Google Earth, or to analyse data to calculate distances, altitudes and so on.

View tracks in 3D format, attached photos to coordinates.
Furthermore, Prune is able to display the tracks in 3d format (like the hike plots on this site) and lets you spin the model round to look at it from various directions. You can also export the model in POV format so that you can render a nice picture using Povray. It can also load Jpegs and read their coordinates from the exif tags, and export thumbnails of these photos to Kmz format so that they appear as popups in Google Earth. If your photos don't have coordinates yet, Prune can be used to connect them (either manually or automatically using the photo timestamps) to data points, and write these coordinates into the exif tags.

For more information on system requirements.

Everyone contribute a bit, eventually we can enjoy and benefit more in our navigation. :thumbsup:
