GPS Manager User Manual -- The getalmanac Command

|  |  | The `getalmanac` Command

## The `getalmanac` Command

The `getalmanac` command gets the current almanac data from the receiver and saves it to a file:

    getalmanac PATH

where:

- `PATH` is the path to the output file, unless it is `stdout` in which case output will be to the standard output. Existing files will be silently overwritten.

The output will consist of a line with the field titles, separated by commas, and a line for each satellite with the field values separated by a single space. If the satellite identification numbers are missing, the order of the lines is the one provided by the receiver and is expected to follow the satellite numbers from 1 to 32.

This command only works with Garmin receivers.
