I needed a break this morning so I whipped up a trivial little script
to create a sectional image from GPS data.
https://aviationtoolbox.org/Members/...ools/trip_plot

It just barely works but it takes NMEA $GPRMC sentences and generates
a JPEG. I noticed that there are people who like to document their
flights in this way so I thought such a tool might be useful.

Lots of improvements to make to it but I need to get back to other
things right now.

Enjoy.


Kyler,

I think that's a great idea! My suggestion would be to use as input some
format other than NMEA sentences though. My favorite would be of course
oziexplorer ".plt" file format-- but any format to which gpsbabel can
translate would be preferable over the NMEA (to which gpsbabel can NOT
translate AFAIK).

Thanks for your efforts!

Cheers,
