MB2GMN(1)

💖 MB2GMN 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the mb2gmn page — it lives in section 1 of the General Commands Manual, which is giving "official business" but we're gonna make it cute.

✨ NAME ✨

mb2gmn — the lil glow-up machine that converts MapBlast files into GPSManager files 🦋

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

mb2gmn [port]

like… that's it. that's the whole vibe. optional port and everything 💅

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

okay so real talk, this manual page is a brief lil rundown of the mb2gmn command. it's not the full lore, it's the trailer 🎬

and here's the tea: this page was written specifically for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the original program straight up does not have a manual page. no cap. instead, it keeps its documentation in /usr/share/doc/gpsman. so if you need more, that's where the receipts live 📂

now, gpsman — that's GPS Manager (GPSMan) — is a graphical manager of GPS data, and she's iconic for real. she makes it possible to prepare, inspect and edit GPS data in a friendly environment ✨ friendly!! like she's not gonna yell at you!!

she also supports communication and real-time logging with both Garmin and Lowrance receivers, and she'll happily accept real-time logging information in NMEA0183 from any GPS receiver. any of them. she's not picky, she's generous 👑

🚨 important bestie alert 🚨 to communicate with the GPS device, the user must have been granted read/write permissions for the respective port. no permissions, no talking. that's the rule, fr fr.
