convert from route to track

 gpsbabel -t -i route.gpx -f gpx -x transform,trk=rte,del -o gpx -F track.trk.gpx
 

simplify track to only nnn trackpoints

 gpsbabel -t -i gpx -f big.trk.gpx -x simplify,count=500 -o gpx -F smaller.trk.gpx

 gpsbabel -i gpx -f track.trk.gpx -x interpolate,distance=0.2m -o gpx -F bigger.trk.gpx
 

convert trk to rte

 gpsbabel -i gpx -f track.trk.gpx -x transform,rte=trk,del -o gpx -F route.rte.gpx

 gpsbabel -i gpx -f waypoints.wpt.gpx -x radius,distance=50K,lat=52.0,lon=7.6 -o gpx -F some.wpt.gpx 
 

exclude waypoints

 gpsbabel -i gpx -f waypoints.wpt.gpx -x radius,nosort,exclude,distance=1M,lat=52.0,lon=7.6 -o gpx -F less.wpt.gpx

calculate course & speed

 gpsbabel -i gpx -f track.gpx -x track,course,speed -o gpx -F course-speed.trk.gpx

split track as soon GPS receiver moved 5m

 gpsbabel -t -i gpx -f in.gpx -x track,pack,sdistance=0.3k,split=5m -o gpx -F out.gpx
