HikeTools

Geographic tools for hikers

HikeTools takes a GPX file as input (or a XOL), and generates an HTML page with a Google Map and a profile chart.

Using HikeTools

HikeTools is run with the following command:

java -jar hiketools.jar [<option>...] <track-file>

<track-file> contains your hike's track in GPX or XOL (SwissMap) format.

Options

-ele

use the elevation service to update the elevation

-gpx

write a GPX file

-xol

write a XOL file

-sim <tolerance>

simplify the track by applying the Douglas-Peucker agorithm, with the given tolerance. The tolerance is given in meters, the default is 1m. Use `-sim 0` to avoid simplification altogether.
