-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3.02.08 - Slightly modified checksum/NAK procedures to more closely
reflect the protocol.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3.02.07 - Fixed route formatting problem. Added lines on route 0
when uploaded from a GPS III to a .sa5 file. The lines
on route 0 are not drawn when the output is to a sa4
file. sa5 does not draw the lines for the route but sa4
does. The default is to draw lines.
-r0ly - turns on line drawing in sa5 output
-r0ln - turns off line drawing in sa5 output
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3.02.06 - Fixed formatting bug in 'Txxxxx of xxxxx' in upload of
tracks. Changed .sa5 output turn off all 'Points of
Interest'.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3.02.05 - Fixed bug in reading of Fugawi waypoint file.
Modified WTT output to insert a new track record if the
comment on the waypoint is "NEW"
Fixed a problem with illegal values in SA files.
Begin adding SA5 support.
G7TO no longer supports Precision Mapping waypoint and track
files.
Added support for Street Atlas .gpl (track log) files.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3.02.04 - Fixed bug in text records with a zero length waypoint comment.
Fixed problem when uploading the 'Deer' symbol from a II+ or
12XL with the destination a SA4 file. SA4 would lock up when
reading the file.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3.02.03 - Added a default icon. When translating from a '16 icon'
machine, i.e. a II+ or 12XL 3.02 or greater or from a
'45 icon' machine, currently only the III, you can chose
which SA4 object to use for the 'default' in the machine.
The command line parameter is '-w Dxxx' where xxx is the
SA4 object number. See the table in G7TO.DOC.
The default icon for the 16 icon machines is a small
square. If you execute a '-w d12' on the g7to command
line when uploading waypoint from a II+ or 12XL with
icons, then this small square will be translated into a
circle in the SA4 map.
For the III, the default icon is a Waypoint. If you
execute '-w d44' on the command line when transferring
waypoints from the III then all 'Waypoint' icons will be
transferred as Restaurants.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3.02.02 - Changed serial port timeout routines.
Almanac upload re-enabled. The command
g7to -i xxx
where xxx is a file containing almanac data (see g7to.doc
for the format of this file) will immediately send the
data to the gps. It must not be used with other file
processing on the command line.
Removed the ability to use the '-w Ixx' param from command
lines.
The SA object must be defined in the .txt file. See G7TO.DOC
The number following the first ';' on a waypoint line now
represents the SA object, not the III object. To modify your
current .txt files, upload them to the III using version 3.02.01
of g7to and then download them to .txt using 3.02.02.
Fixed variable mismatch in .low output. This error
caused g7to version 3.02.01 to crash on an intermittent
basis if .low files were chosen as an output file.
Added icon type and icon style to the comment field in the
output of Fugawi waypoint files. If the waypoint comment and
the ;icon type;icon style are 20 characters or less then
Fugawi will not truncate these two values. Fugawi truncates
the length of the comment field to 20 characters.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3.02.01 - Internal housekeeping changes.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3.02.00 - Added support for GPS III. This required a change in the text
files. The fields which priviously were 'a'-'p' and 'n','s','c'
are now numeric. The III allows 20 characters in the waypoint
comment field, so the position of the first ';' in the text file
is now floating. It's position depends upon the length of the
comment field. This change also means that some lines will be
longer than 80 characters.
The old ';a;n' style format is converted to the new on input.
See G7TO.DOC for the details.
--==--
The 12XL version 3.51 has apparently changed the
Proximity command (or it has a bug). This release
therefore does not support Proximity Upload/Download on
the 12XL Version 3.51.
--==--
The 'send voltage' command is apparently not implemented
on the III, or the protocol has changed. That command is
not implemented in this version of g7to when talking to the
GPS III.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3.01.10 - 3.01.099 --- Skipped
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3.01.09 - Fixed bug in -q processing.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3.01.08 - Added new output suffix .WTT. When this suffix is chosen as
part of the output file name g7to will output the currently
loaded waypoints as a single track. This code was added to
allow tracks to be defined via waypoints in fugawi.
Added two new input/output suffix definitions:
The suffix FWP, i.e. fname.fwp, will read/write the file
as if it is a waypoint file exported from fugawi.
The suffix FTR, i.e. fname.ftr, will read/write the file
as if it is a track file to be read by fugawi.
NOTE: fugawi as of version 2.115 still does not save
track files in a manner that preserves the new
track start, stops. In other words, the entire
list of tracks are saved as if they are one long
track. This is the same way Precision Mapping 3.0
handles tracks and in my estimation is bogus.
Modified -q parameter as follows:
-q 0 - all items written
-q 1 - comment not written on regular waypoints
-q 2 - comment not written on route waypoints
-q 4 - the symbol display parameter not written
-q 8 - route name is not written on first route point
The parameter values can be summed to turn off more than
one option. For example -q 9 (the sum of 8 + 1) would
turn off the writing of comments on regular waypoints
and turn off writing the route name on the first route
waypoint
g7to failed to communicate properly in a NT 4.0 MSDOS
window when executed on fast processor, i.e. a 200 mHz
MMX. This has been fixed.
The command line option -g has been added. If -g is
encountered anywhere on the command line then Lat/Long
grids will not be displayed when .sa output files are
loaded into SA.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3.01.07 - Added code which causes g7to to use a temporary file for tracks
when the value of the -f argument is 0. For example:
g7to -i large_file_with_lots_of_track_points -o filex.sa4 -f 0
will cause a temporary file to be used in track processing.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3.01.06 - Fixed icon/Proximity error in 12XL Ver 3.02 communications
Added -f parameter to allow up to 32767 track points. The
default is 4096. Each track point allocated takes up
approximately 90 bytes of RAM.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3.01.05 - Fixed icon error introduced in 3.01.04
Fixed 12XL ver 3.02 icon error
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3.01.04 - Changed output format of distance summation. Minor cleanup
in distance calculations and text input. In previous versions
a single "N" was not accepted as a new track designator. It now
is accepted as such.
Fixed small bug in 'name' handling when input is a SA4 mapnote.
If the mappoint contains 'placerville;1234567890123;a;n'
the waypoint created is:
W PLACER xxxxxxxx VILLE 1234567890;a;n
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3.01.03 - Internal housekeeping. Functionality not changed.
Modified 'g7to -ho' output for II+ backlight intensity.
Fixed E/W bug in uploading tracks.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3.01.02 - Squashed bug in -u output. Modified Error output.
Added some debugging out for looking at Garmin protocol.
If '-z fname' is specified on the command line all
exchanges with the Garmin will be output to file fname
in hex-ascii format.
Changed to Sinnott formula for distance. Earth radius=6367.5 km
Fixed bug in distance routine. The first segment wasn't being
included in the calculation.
Fixed bug in Proximity distance location in output text file.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3.01.01 - Squashed bug in sort routine. Changed text record format

The first ';' comes at character position 77 i.e. the
77th character in the line. The others are free format,
i.e. '; n; p;dist' is ok as long as the first ';' is at
position 77
'p' is Icon character (a-p) and 'n' is icon display format.
'dist' is proximity distance in meters.
Files in the original text format are still readable, but
only the new format is output by the program.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3.01 - Icon handling for II+ is now complete.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3.00.08 - 3.00.99 Skipped.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3.00.07 - Changed the way route lines are drawn. Routes are one
line for each route. Previously, there was a line
segment drawn for each two points in the route. Squashed
small bug in -q option.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3.00.06 - Fixed an error message.
Added -q4 option to suppress symbol display style in SA files
Added -q5 option to suppress route name in first route point
of SA file
Backlight problem fixed.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3.00.05 - cleanup in print of waypoints from sources that do not
support icons, i.e. 'old' (pre 3.00.04) .sa4 files
Squashed a small bug with default icons being sent to
II+. Modified some error messages and added one.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3.00.04 - Added a field to the SA text to represent the display properties
for II+ icons.
For waypoints, the format is name;desc;symboldisplay
For route waypoints:
(rr:pp)name;desc;symboldisplay;route name for the first point.
(rr:pp)name;desc;symboldisplay for other than the first point.
where symbol display is 'n' for name+symbol, 's' for symbol alone
and 'c' for symbol+route comment
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3.00.03 - Added display properties for symbols. 'n' - name &
symbol 's' - Symbol only, 'c' - Symbol with comment.
Output to SA strips this display data and 'n' is the
default. Text files preserve the display status.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3.00.02 - Added symbols for II+ output of waypoints to/from an
SA3/4 file. See g7to.doc for details. Added ability to
change backlight level on II+;
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3.00.01 - Support for GPS II+ Waypoint symbols (icons) added. See
G7TO.DOC. Fixed bug with tracks (E/W switching). Fixed
bug with tracks not ending properly when sent to GPS
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3.00 - Total rewrite of user interface. The merge function is
gone. Multiple files can be read on input and all data
that is read can be output to one or several files. The
original -6 -p and -8 commandline options have been
