The author of the code has released an update for GPSMan. The appended patch brings the astro/gpsman port up-to-date so that it builds GPSMan-6.1.1. In addition to the GPSMan-specific items below, I believe that there is no longer a need to support a FreeBSD-specific tarball of his work; accordingly, the port's Makefile will not have some of the gross hacks required (as far as I know) to support such a construct, as the original Makefile for 6.0.1 (ref. PR 50179) did. This is a relief. :-} [From http://www.ncc.up.pt/gpsman/gpsmanhtml/manual/html/GPSMandoc_56.html] * support for Spanish contributed by Alberto Morales (amd77_at_gulic.org). * new options: * user unit for altitude (metres, feet); suggested by Chuck Cox (chuck413_at_sbcglobal.net). * map default projection, map default position format. * default line width for representing routes, tracks and polylines. * MapGuide text format default version. * route waypoints in GPSMan data files must now be given in full, using names only is no longer supported; there is a new utility wpsinfull.tcl in the util directory to convert old files. * polylines as a new data type, to be used as background for the map; suggested by David Kaplan (dmkaplan_at_ucdavis.edu). * creation of a new waypoint at a given distance and bearing from an existing one; asked by Alessandro Palmas (alpalmas_at_tin.it). * routes and tracks now have colours that can be changed. * speed graph for tracks; suggested by Paulo Quaresma (pq_at_di.uevora.pt). * climb rate graph for tracks; suggested by Paul Scorer (P.Scorer_at_leedsmet.ac.uk) who kindly provided a noise-reduction filter for the data. * 2D plots can now be resized; code contributed by Martin Buck (m_at_rtin-buck.de). * 2D elevation and speed graphs can now be plotted against time instead of total distance. * the symbol of each waypoint in a group can be changed from the group window; code contributed by Jean H. Theoret (ve2za_at_rac.ca). * computation of distance along line on the map, extending previous measurement between two points; suggested by Victor Yip (vgyip_at_ucdavis.edu). * control window or confirmation for slow operations; suggested by David Kaplan. * support for GPX export format, both for exportation and importation (including files produced by GPSBabel), contributed by Valère Robin (valere.robin_at_wanadoo.fr). * exportation of waypoints and tracks in OziExplorer format; contributed by Alessandro Palmas. * importation of the 2003/2004 version of MapGuide; from information sent by Heiko Theide (Heiko.Thede_at_gmx.de). There will be conversion errors if the version of the file is different from that given by the user. * importation/exportation of MapGuide files no longer depends on the receiver brand; asked by Alessandro Palmas. * importing NMEA log from file as a track (Garmin variant only); asked by Siegfried Leisen (lei_at_cray.com). * importing/exporting Shapefile files in position formats other than decimal degrees for latitude/longitude and metres for altitude, and datums other than "WGS 84". With gpsmanshp version 1.1 it is now possible to read Shapefile polygons. * importation of IGC (FAI GNSS) data files; asked by Paul Scorer. * support for TFW (Tiff World File metadata format) files for geo-referencing images; asked by Paolo Cavallini (cavallini_at_faunalia.it). * partial support for OziExplorer map files for geo-referencing images; asked by Eric Spierings (ericsp_at_odont.uio.no). * support for grades (centesimal degrees) as signed floats. * using the central/false longitude of a projection to fix the range of possible longitude values; this corrects problems with longitude values near E180 and have implications on how points and lines are displayed in small-scale maps. * new projections: * CRT Italian projection and grid, from information sent by Alessandro Palmas. * Austrian projection and grid (Bundesmeldenetz); suggested by Alessandro Palmas. * Teale Albers projection and grid; asked by David Kaplan. * Albers Equal Area and Lambert Equal Area Conic projections. * French projections and grids; asked by Alessandro Palmas. * new syntax for some old commands in command-line mode, and several new commands, including execution of GPSMan command scripts and Tcl/Tk scripts; partly in answer to questions from Joakim Majander (Joakim.Majander_at_enprima.com) and Pascal Brisset (pascal.brisset_at_free.fr). * explicit support for Garmin receivers (with thanks to): Geko 201 (Christoph Dworzak, Sabine Sagner-Weigl, David Klotz), Geko 301 (Laurent Bonnaud), GPS5 (Matthias M. Weber), GPS12 Map (Gracjan Ziolek), StreetPilot 3 (Gerrit Huizenga), Garmin Rino 120 (Chuck Cox), Garmin Rino 110 (Alexander Damyanov), GPSMap60C (Klaus Ethgen). [From http://www.ncc.up.pt/gpsman/gpsmanhtml/manual/html/GPSMandoc_55.html] * explicit support for the Garmin ForeTrex receiver, thanks to Aapo Rista (Aapo_at_Rista.net). Fix: Apply the following patch & run portupgrade. :-} How-To-Repeat: n/a
