[R-sig-Geo] Fwd: Re: Coverting GPS Points in Text File to Spatial Lines

[Tomislav Hengl]

Hi Armold,

In what format is your GPS data? I highly suggest using the GPX protocol 
as this is the lingua franca for GPS data.

I recently made a function that reads GPS data and converts into a data
frame (via the XML package):

http://plotkml.r-forge.r-project.org/readGPX.html

*this is still rather experimental but you can look at the actual steps
via R-forge:

HTH,
