[gdal-dev] convert 2 shapefiles to a single GPX?

[Duarte Carreira]

Maybe the same approach can be used with 2 gpx files? That would be very good. I cannot merge 2 shapefiles with different geometry types. I could convert line shape>gpx1 and point shape->gpx2 and then merge gpx2+gpx2->gpx3...


Thanks,
Duarte

A merge of two shapefiles 'file1.shp' and 'file2.shp' into a new file 'file_merged.shp' is performed like this (See http://www.gdal.org/ogr/drv_shapefile.html):

% ogr2ogr file_merged.shp file1.shp
% ogr2ogr -update -append file_merged.shp file2.shp -nln file_merged

Then convert to GPX:
% ogr2ogr -f "GPX" out.gpx file_merged.shp

Can OGR convert 2 shapefiles to a single GPX?

The objective is to add tracks from a line shapefile and waypoints from a point shapefile...

Hello,

I don't know the answer to your question, but since GPX files are text files, it is very easy to merge two GPX files with a text editor.

HTH !
