Tomtom Export Script

Latest revision as of 17:05, 16 June 2008

This gives an example of exporting to a bunch of tomtom files based on type:

# research the original set (from the user's -s line) so it's loaded into active memory
%search
set:search:geoqo

# save it under a particular new name for us to make use of below:
%saveset name=tmp:fortomtoms

# tell them how many caches are in it.
%display
count:original count:

# Then create a file per type:
%foreach type Unknown Multi Webcam
%search
set:tmp:fortomtoms&&cache:subtype=%{type}
%display
count:exporting %{type} :
%export
system:cmd=gpsbabel -i geo -f %{file:loc} -o tomtom -F %{type}.ov2
%endforeach

# Now just search for cache sizes
%foreach size Micro Small Regular
%search
set:tmp:fortomtoms
&&cache:subtype=Traditional
&&cache:groundspeak_container=%{size}
%display
count:exporting %{size} :
%export
system:cmd=gpsbabel -i geo -f %{file:loc} -o tomtom -F %{size}.ov2
%endforeach

Running it

Then you should be able to run the script for a given search like:

 geoqo --nogui -s set:import:nearme -x FILENAME

Which might produce output like:

original count:31
exporting Unknown :9
exporting Multi :6
exporting Webcam :0
exporting Micro :8
exporting Small :2
exporting Regular :5

And it'll put everything from the import:nearme set into .ov2 files for use on tomtoms. Don't forget to create .bmp files for the icons.

Hopefully this works ;-)

#geoqo script
%search
cache:available==True

# first, save what the user searched for
%saveset tmp:fortomtoms

# Then create a file per type:
%foreach type Unknown Multi Webcam
%search
  set:tmp:fortomtoms
   &&cache:subtype=%{type}
%export

  system:cmd=gpsbabel -i geo -f %{file:loc} -o tomtom -F %{type}.ov2

%endforeach

#just micro's
%search
set:tmp:fortomtoms
&&cache:subtype=Traditional
only:type=Geocache,subtype=Traditional Cache,groundspeak_container=Micro
%export
system:cmd=gpsbabel -i geo -f %{file:loc} -o tomtom -F micro.ov2

# all other traditionals
%search
set:tmp:fortomtoms
&&cache:subtype=Traditional
+drop:type=Geocache,subtype=Traditional Cache,groundspeak_container=Micro
%export
system:cmd=gpsbabel -i geo -f %{file:loc} -o tomtom -F traditional.ov2
