## CompeGPS data files (.wpt/.trk/.rte) (compegps)

This format can...

- read and write waypoints

- read and write tracks

- read and write routes

This format has the following options: deficon, index, radius, snlen .

CompeGPS™ data files are "character" separated text files like the pcx format. "Character" means special data lines can have their own separator.

Since release 6.1 of CompeGPS™, GPX is also a supported import/export format for waypoints, routes and tracks.

For more information please have a look at http://www.compegps.com

### `deficon` option

Default icon name.

This option specifies the default icon name on output.

### `index` option

Index of route/track to write (if more than one in source).

Because this format supports only one route or track, this option may be used on output to select a single route or track from a collection of routes and tracks read from a more expressive format. If you have, say, a gpx file that contains two routes, you may use this option to write them one at a time to individual files.

`gpsbabel -i gpx -f routes.gpx -o compegps,index=1 -F route1.txt -o compegps,index=2 -F route2.txt`

### `radius` option

Give points (waypoints/route points) a default radius (proximity).

This option specifies the default proximity for waypoints and route points.

### `snlen` option

Length of generated shortnames (default 16).

This option specifies the default length for short names generated on output. The default length is 16.
