### `pack` option

Write all tracks into one file.

In normal case GPSBabel creates for each track a separate file (track.plt, track-1.plt, ...). With this option all tracks will be written into one file. A '1' in the third field of the trackpoint record signals the beginning of a new track.

`gpsbabel -i gpx -f tracks.gpx -o ozi,pack -F track`

### `snlen` option

Max synthesized shortname length.

This option allows you to specify the length of waypoint names written to this format when used with the `-s` option.

### `snwhite` option

Allow whitespace synth. shortnames.

This option forces waypoint names generated with `-s` to allow whitespace in the names.

### `snupper` option

UPPERCASE synth. shortnames.

When specified, this option will force generated shortnames to be in all uppercase letters.

### `snunique` option

Make synth. shortnames unique.

When specified, this option will force the generated waypoint names to be unique.

### `wptfgcolor` option

Waypoint foreground color.

This option allows you to specify a foreground color of a waypoint. You can specify it as either a decimal number or one of the standard web colors.

### `wptbgcolor` option

Waypoint background color.

This option allows you to specify a background color of a waypoint. You can specify it as either a decimal number or one of the standard web colors.

### `proximity` option

Proximity distance.

This option, specified in meters, allows you to set the proximity of written waypoints.

### `altunit` option

Unit used in altitude values.

By default the ozi module uses feet as altitude unit. With this option you can specify also 'Meters' (m) as unit for altitude values.

### `proxunit` option

Unit used in proximity values.

By default the proximity values are handled in meters. With this option you can now specify (m)iles, (k)ilometers or (n)autical miles as the units for proximity when reading or writing ozi files.

### `codec` option

codec to use for reading and writing strings (default windows-1252).

This lets you override the default codec of 'windows-1252'. As an input option the codec should correspond to the encoding of the input file. As an output option it sets the encoding of the output file.
