GPXLoad:

GPX file Import / Export for Signal K Server.

• Allows the upload of selected Routes and Waypoints in GPX files to a SignalK server

• Exports route and waypoint resources from Signal K server to a GPX file, preserving their UUIDs, in order to avoid resource duplication if re-imported.

Note - GPXLoad no longer acts as a resource provider for the following paths:

./resources/routes

./resources/waypoints

./vessels/self/navigation/courseGreatCircle/activeRoute/href

./vessels/self/navigation/courseGreatCircle/activeRoute/startTime

./vessels/self/navigation/courseGreatCircle/nextPoint/position

./vessels/self/navigation/courseGreatCircle/nextPoint/bearingTrue

To service these paths you will need to have an appropriate plugin installed on the Signal K server:

• Routes and Waypoints: A resource provider such as sk-resource-fs should be used.

  Note: sk-resource-fs will enable you to continue using your existing routes and waypoints, just enter path to your exisiting resources in the configuration.

• Course data: The Freeboard Helper plugin freeboard-sk-plugin can be used as a provider for activeRoute and nextPoint paths.

Operation:

To Import a GPX file:

1. Open the Web App at the url: http://signalk-server/gpxload/

2. Select the Import GPX tab and click Open GPX file

3. Select a GPX file.

4. Select some or all of the Routes, Waypoints and Tracks from the displayed list.

5. To import just selected resources of a particular type click the Load button located within that resources group. To import all selected resources click Load Selected

To Export resources to a GPX file:

1. Open the Web App at the url: http://signalk-server/gpxload/

2. Select the Export to GPX tab and a list of available resources are displayed. Click Refresh if you want to re-load the list of resources from the Signal K server.

3. Select the Routes, Waypoints and Tracks from the displayed list that you want saved to the GPX file.

4. Click Save to export selected resources to file.

Note:

• GPXLoad preserves the uuids of resources exported from Signal K server in the GPX file, so if these GPX files are re-imported they will update the corresponding resource on the Signal K server rather than create a new resource.

• GPX files containing elements without Signal K UUID values will have UUIDs assigned each time the file is opened (or re-opened) in the WebUI. This will result in duplicate resources on the Signal K server if a GPX file is: opened, resources imported, re-opened and the same resources imported.
