The PHP GPX Reader is a lightweight and powerful tool to find the nearest GPS coordinate from a GPX file based on a specific timestamp. While it's perfect for photo geotagging (e.g., matching photo timestamps to GPS data), the tool can be used in many other scenarios where time-based GPS data needs to be processed. 1. Features ----------- [](#1-features) - Reads GPX files and retrieves the closest GPS coordinate to a given timestamp. - Efficiently handles GPX tracks with multiple points. - Allows precise time matching to find the nearest location. - Supports time offset adjustments for scenarios where the reference time is inaccurate. - Flexible and easy to integrate for different use cases. 2. Usage -------- [](#2-usage) ``` use Ixnode\PhpGpxReader\GpxReader; ... $gpxReader = new GpxReader($fileObject); /* Set time gap from camera time: The clock goes ahead. */ $gpxReader->setTimeGapFromString('-00:13:00'); /* Set (real) time to search. */ $gpxReader->setDateTimeFromString('2024-05-05 13:04:16', new DateTimeZone(Timezones::EUROPE_BERLIN)); /* Get the closest coordinate from GPX file. */ $coordinate = $gpxReader->getCoordinate(); /* Time difference to next point. */ print $gpxReader->getTimeDifference(); // (int) 5 /* Latitude to the closest point. */ print $coordinate->getLatitude(); // (float) 47.099262 /* Longitude to the closest point. */ print $coordinate->getLongitude(); // (float) 9.942202 /* Google maps link. */ print $coordinate->getLinkGoogle().PHP_EOL; // (string) https://www.google.de/maps/place/47.099262+9.942202 ``` 3.
