Selon Leonardo Piga <leonardo.p...@gmail.com>: Leonardo,
the general way to proceed and a few recommandations are described here : http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/wiki/HowToContribute I'm just curious : does this effort of creating maps for Brazilian cities relate somehow with the OpenStreetMap project or is it a completely autonomous effort ? I've just also noticed that the gpsbabel project handles the GTM format (http://www.gpsbabel.org/capabilities.html). Did you consider using it instead, or was the direct integration of the GTM format inside OGR more convenient for you ? Just speaking loud : it might be interesting to have a pseudo gpsbabel driver in OGR. That would offer 'for free' all the formats gpsbabel handles to OGR. Technically speaking, gpsbabel being an executable and not a library, OGR would probably need to fork the gpsbabel executable and use the GPX format as an exchange format between both software. One inconvenience I see when using gpsbabel is that it has no format autodetection capability. So the syntax could be for example "ogrinfo GPSBABEL:gtm:my_file.gtm" and this would execute "gpsbabel -w -r -t -i gtm -f -i gtm -f my_file.gtm -o gpx -F tempfile.gpx". Or the subformat autodetection capability could be added in the OGR gpsbabel driver for a few selected formats. Best regards, Even > Hello, > > I'm implementing a new driver for OGR.
