Dear List, the readGPS function from the maptools package is able to read waypoints from an 'attached GPS'. But what about reading gpx-fils, is there a function available to import such data? the OGR vector formats are not supporting it...
As you can see by looking at the code, the function is simply a wrapper for a system() call to gpsbabel. So there is no reason why the arguments could not be modified to tell gpsbabel to read a *.gpx file and write it to R - contributions welcome! Roger
