ldif-gps-gpx

Synopsis

Geocode ldif Address book, and create gpx files per mailinglist

Code Example

Export a top level address book out of thunderbird into project's directory.

3rd argument can be what ever field you want, but it will overwrite what ever data is currently in it.

This command treats input file as readonly, and outputs outputfile.ldif

node backfill_ldif.js address.ldif mozillaCustom4 GOOGLEMAPSAPIKEY

Now you can run create_gpx_files.js to create a gpx file per mailing list that will be populated with addresses that have been found.

node create_gpx_files.js outputfile.ldif mozillaCustom4

Now you can use this gpx files in what ever map viewing program you use. I prefer to use Viking GPS, since its fast.
