## Downloading GPSMan

GPSMan (version 6.4) is available for downloading from the GPSMan site. Both Debian, RPM and FreeBSD packages are available for easy installation in Linux. Updates for the current release can also be found there.

GPSMan can also be retrieved as part of the Debian and Ubuntu official Linux distributions, and of the Linux Live-CDs AI9NL and GIS-Knoppix.

In order to run GPSMan, Tcl/Tk (preferably version 8.4 or later) must be previously installed. It can be got from the Active State site.

The following Tcl/Tk libraries will be used if they are installed:

- `gpsmanshp`, a library that provides the means for creating and reading files in the ESRI Shapefile format; there is a `gpsmanshp` site. Version 1.2 or newer should be installed.
- `Img`, a library implementing enhanced support for graphics and graphic formats; it was part of some Tcl/Tk distributions and is provided by the Debian Linux package `libtk-img`; there is an `Img` site. There is also a Sourceforge project page.

The `exif` Tcl/Tk package that is part of the standard Tcl/Tk distribution will be used for trying to know the time-stamp of picture files when geo-referencing them.
