5A collection of miscellaneous scripts which may help with Viking usage.
6
7
8- viking-cache-mbtile.py
9
10A Python2 script to create an MBTiles file from a Viking map cache.
11
12Running the script (with no parameters) will explain the usage.
13
14
15- googledirections
16
17A bash script to get a route from Google in GPX format.
18
19 ./googledirections "boston, ma" "new york, ny" | ../src/viking -
20
21Note: routing via online services is built into Viking so this script is now redundant.
22
23
24- images2waypoints.pl
25
26A Perl script to auto generate basic Viking .vik files for directories containing images.
27
28View the script itself for a more detailed description.
29
30Note: Viking can now image open files and creates waypoints for them with the EXIF information.
31 So again this script less useful.
32
33
34- geo-* scripts
35-- geo-html2gpx
36-- geo-nearest
37
38If Viking is compiled with 'enable-geocaches' (the default without it) then it will enable acquire Geocaches from http://www.geocaching.com via these scripts (which will need to be on your $PATH).
39The scripts are Public Domain from http://geo.rkkda.com/
40Note if you don't have a premium Geocaching account, getting public available geocaches is very slow.
