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

[Duarte Carreira]

Now this I've got to try!

The VRT file idea is intriguing. I didn't know it had this much flexibility...

Thanks,
Duarte

Here's one solution :

1) create a directory, for example "merge_shp"
2) copy in merge_shp the shapefile that is going to be put in the waypoints
layer as "waypoints.shp" (rename the .dbf and .shx accordingly)
3) copy in merge_shp the shapefile that is going to be put in the tracks layer
as "tracks.shp" (rename the .dbf and .shx accordingly)
4) run "ogr2ogr -f GPX merged.gpx merge_shp waypoints tracks" (the order of
the layers is important)

A solution based on an OGR VRT file defining the two layers from the 2
shapefiles would also probably work.
