# gpsplot.py - A tiny program to plot GPS output

### GPS data file

### GNU plot

You can visualize it using GNU plot and the following commands:

```gnuplot

$ gnuplot

gnuplot> set grid

gnuplot> unset logscale x

gnuplot> unset logscale y

gnuplot> set xlabel "Distance in km"

gnuplot> set ylabel "Height in m"

gnuplot> set terminal png

gnuplot> set output "track.png"

gnuplot> plot "gpsplot.gp" using 3:7 notitle with lines linetype 3

```

Then open track.png in your folder.

### Limitations

You need to change file names in script. Also this doesn't work yet if a time difference between two data points is more than 24h.  Other than that have fun!
