## Version 6.2 -- October 2004

- 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.
- new `getfix` command: gets, in command-line mode, the current fix data from a Garmin receiver real-time log and saves it to a file; asked by Wes Johnston 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, William D. Hamblen and Russell Nelson 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`.
