There is code, working code, to handle Garmin GPS track logs and waypoints.
- coords.pl filename.txt -> reads a garmin format track or waypoint file and spits

- tt3.pl -> reads coords/tt output file, writes foo.jpg with more features.

misc notes:

DM.m -> D.d
divid M.m by 60 to get .d
add .d to D to get D.d
Base maps
need image
lat/long of corners
height/width (from image file-done)
offsets! what if the map doesn't start at the corners?
