Version 6.2
- new utility for converting Greenflag HTML files into GPSManager
files, contributed by Nigel Orr (gps_at_river-view.freeserve.co.uk);
see file
gf2gmn.tcl
.
- new options:
- default map cursor coordinates datum which can now be
different from the map projection datum; the map cursor
coordinates are now shown along with their datum.
- for Garmin receivers, whether or not routes should be
automatically numbered when they are sent to the receiver
(default is no); the counter can be reset to 1; code contributed
by David Gardner (djgardner_at_users.sourceforge.net).
- for Garmin receivers, whether support for laps is required.
- a single menu-button
Items
replaces the 3 menu-buttons
Locate
, Display on map
and Clear
of the map
window.
- groups can now be created for the items that are or are not currently
displayed on the map, using the
Make Group
entry of the Items
menu-button on the map window. Code
contributed by David Gardner.
- user-defined menu for symbols that appears as a sub-menu of the
symbols menu; in answer to a question by
Johannes Bitterling (johannes.bitterling_at_fernuni-hagen.de).
- new getfix command: gets, in command-line mode, the
current fix data from a Garmin receiver using the
real-time log and saves it to a file; asked by Wes Johnston
(wes_at_johnston.net) for use with Xastir.
- support for Garmin receivers: updated according to the specifications
001-00063-00 Rev. A, dated April 24 2004, including optional support
for laps; explicit support for Foreunner receivers; with thanks to
Pierre Thibaud (prt3_at_sympatico.ca), William D. Hamblen
(william.d.hamblen_at_dartmouth.edu) and Russell Nelson
(nelson_at_crynwr.com) for their help in debugging.
- the configuration of default values for user options was taken
from file
gpsman.tcl
to a new source file named
config.tcl
; other specifications were also taken from
there to a new file metadata.tcl
.
