[solved]GPX file with points every second. Too many. Need every 3s or 4s instead

[Ed.Kloonk]

Do you know how to use gpsbabel to make it drop the number of points in a gpx file to a minimum time not maximum?

Target program is suffering indigestion. Needs points spaced out to 3 or 4 seconds (and drop any in between)

The position,time=x param isn't what I want.

Found this. Someone asked the same thing. Didn't provide a solution tho.

The 'resample' filter was added in gpsbabel 1.8.0 released a few days ago. Not exactly what you're asking for, but allow you to reduce the sample rate by a factor (decimate).

Thanks. Will check it out.

Finally got it to do what I wanted.

I had to basically run two passes because I was using  track,fix=3d as well as the position,time=3, prolly because the input file came from a multi day, multi gpx file abomination.

New and previous version produced byte for byte outputs. v1.8.0 vs v1.7.0

For anyone who cares:
gpsbabel v1.8.0 (linux) now uses qmake and no longer ./configure && make
