Convert gpx to kmz file (also jpg, mp4, mov, mts files are supported)

gpx to kmz

Convert gpx to kmz file. Also jpg files (.jpg) and movies (.mp4, .mov, .mts) will be included if present. The movies will be converted to animated gifs. The resulting kmz file can be used in google-earth.

Usage

on linux: (linux has long command lines so you can specify all files. Directories work also): 

./gpxexif --offset=7200 --output=test --height=450 --use-video test/gps/*gpx test/jpg/*.jpg test/video/*.mp4

on windows: (Windows has small command line so probably specify directories. You can also use files): 

.\gpxexif --offset=7200 --output=test --height=450 --use-video --use-cache test/gps test/jpg test/video 

On windows you probably want to use a cache. Reading jpeg/movie headers is slow because we have to execute jhead/exiftool on every file. On linux this is very fast because we use libexif.so.

If you just want to convert gpx files to kmz file you can do: 

./gpxexif --show-points=5 --output=test test/gps/*gpx 

--show-points=5 will show label every 5 gpx points.

Usage: ./gpx2kmz [options]   

Options:
  --offset=x       gpx offset in seconds
  --output=x       output directory name (default 'output')
  --show-points=x  put gpx points in kmz file
  --width=x        resized image width (default 0)
  --height=x       resized image height (default 450)
  --video-width=x  resized video width (default 320)
  --video-height=x resized video height (default 0)
  --kml-width=x    resized kml video width (default 640)
  --kml-height=x   resized kml video height (default 0)
  --framerate      framerate animated gif in Hz. (default 3)
  --use-video      use video files (animated gif)
  --use-jhead      use jhead instead of exiftool
  --use-exiftool   use exiftool instead of jhead
  --use-cache      use cache
  --recursive      read dirs recursive
  --fix-mp4=x      fix mp4 time problem in seconds
