replaced by file output using ?.g64, ?.prj and ?.x80.
-i g45 command line enhancement. The parameters
following the 'g45' may be entered at the same time, i.e.
'-i g45wx' will cause the Garmin to send waypoints and
tracks.
Support for Garmin units other than the 12XL is in the
code but has not been tested.
Most command line parameters have been changed or are
removed. See g7to.doc for the complete list of the
current command line parameters.
Current command line synopsis:
-1 Sets COM port to 1
-2 Sets COM port to 2
-3 allows setting com port parameters
-a Text mode output
-b turn on all sa output drawing objects
-c Sets lat/long of center of sa file
-d sum distances
-e no command lines on text output
-h various help output
-i input files
-m set magnitude of sa file
-n no names on track point output to sa3 files
-o output files
-p set sa circle parameters (prox waypoint)
-qx- (x=1-5) some comments stripped from waypoints.
See g7to.doc
-r set sa route parameters
-s don't sort waypoints and don't remove non unique waypoints
-t set sa track line parameters
-u lowrance 'L' waypoints
-v print async stats
-w set sa waypoint object/text parameters
Default is ON for the following:
-ry = turn on route line drawing for routes 1-19
-rn = turn off route line drawing for routes 1-19
-rwy = turn on route waypoints for routes 1-19
-rwn = turn off route waypoints for routes 1-19
-r0y = turn on route 0 to sa4
-r0n = turn off route 0 to sa4
-r0wy = turn on route 0 waypoints
-r0wn = turn off route 0 waypoints
-r0wy or -ry must be used for routes to be output to sa3 files
-by turns on all sa outputs
i.e. -by is a synonym for -wy -ty -ry -r0y -py -r0wy -rwy
-bn turns off all sa outputs
i.e. -bn is a synonym for -wn -tn -rn -r0n -pn -r0wn -rwn
-r cxx = set route line color
-r txx = set route line thickness
-r sxx = set route line style
These options take effect for the entire output, i.e. it is not
possible to turn on output for some waypoints or some tracks, only
for all of the objects.
=====================================================
Route 0 on the Garmin becomes route 20 when sent to a .low
file and route 20 read from a .low file becomes route 0 when
sent to the g45. If a route 20 is entered by hand into a text
file and the text file sent to the Garmin the route 20 is
changed to route 0.
When output is .low file, the order of the data in the input
file is no longer rigid.
Any of the valid output locations (G45, .sa3, .prj, .sa4,
.low, .clg, .g64, .x80) can be written to from any valid input
locations.
Maximums:
Routes : 20
Route Points : 99
Waypoints : 1500
TrackPoints : 1500
Proximity Pts: 20
NOTE: These are *program* maximums, not all receivers will be
capable of storing the maximum data entries.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2.09-2.99 Skipped these version numbers.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2.08 - Fixed a bug in 2.07 that caused any output name for
.sa3, .sa4 or .low files to be rejected if the fourth
letter of the file name was 'c' or 'C'.
Added option -f (or -F) to cause the waypoints to be
sorted and waypoints where the name, latitude and
longitude are duplicated to be removed.
Modified -w option to require an argument, i.e:
g7to -i mm.txt -o mm.sa4 -wx where x is 1,2 or 3.
Added the ability to read the SA4 route and print it
to a text file as route 0. Intermediate stop points
named "Stop" are renamed 'Sx' where x is the xth point
in the route. 'x' is 5 characters wide, and filled
with leading 0's.
Added the ability to read route 0 from a text file and
output it to a SA4 route.
Added the ability to read and write lowrance data
files from WSII. Suffix for WSII files is .low At
this time only waypoints, routes and icons are
supported. The format for the text file is not too
flexible. *ALL* waypoints that may be used in a route
*MUST* be defined before the route. I.E.

is not correct. The '7MILE' waypoint was not defined
in the text file before used in a route. This is a
limitation of the way the program is currently
written.
Icon information MUST come after all routes are
defined and have the following format in the text
file:
I N44 12.3456 W123 22.6543 Rail Road
I N45 25.6543 W123 15.6544 Animal Tracks
If file.txt contains the following line:
W ALSBAY N44 25.8961 W124 04.2498 Wed May 28 16:44:04 1997 ALSEA BAY BRIDGE
The following command:
g7to -i file.txt -o file.low
will create the file 'file.low' and insert the
waypoint from the txt file in it. The file 'file.low'
will contain only waypoint data from file 'file.txt'.
All other items (routes, tracks, icons) will be blank.
The waypoint name will not be taken from the field
after the 'W' as it will for Garmin receivers, it will
be taken from the comment field, i.e. all after the
date string. In the above case, the name of the
waypoint will be 'ALSEA BAY BRIDGE'. This program
will truncate it at the 20th character. Note, when
uploaded to a Global Map Sport only characters 1-12
are used in the name.
If file.low is then read by the following command:
g7to -u -i file.low
this line is output:
L ALSEA-BAY N44 25.8961 W124 04.2498 Thu May 29 15:57:42 1997 ALSEA BAY BRIDGE
The length of the 'name' field is increased to 10 in
the 'L' record (it's 6 in the 'W' record). This
'name' field is made up of the first 10 characters of
the Lowrance waypoint name. The Lowrance waypoint
name now resides in the comment area. Even though the
'name' field isn't used by the program, the data file
can be sorted on the name.
The .low files have been tested with the Global Map
Sport. Other Lowrance/Eagle units which utilize WSII
may work, but I have no way to test them. The files
are ok for use with WSII version 1.1 only -- other
versions of WSII have NOT been tested.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2.07 - Added the ability to read voltages from the Garmin
Added the ability to turn the Garmin backlight on or off
Added the ability to control the contrast on the 12XL
Added support for routes 1-19 for SA3 and SA4 files.
The route point is added to the SA file as a symbol with
a 'name' having the following format:
For the first point in the route:
(rr:pp)WAYPNM;WAYPOINT DESC;ROUTE NAME
and for points 2-19
(rr:pp)WAYPNM;WAYPOINT DESC;
rr is the 2 digit route number
pp is the 2 digit point numeber in route rr
Waypoints should be represented in the SA file with
the waypoint name separated from the waypoint comment
by a semicolon:
BRIDGE;RIVER WILD
This format is the same as that used in Waypoint+.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2.06a - Added the ability to read lines, areas and circles
from a SA4 file. Lines and areas are considered
Garmin tracks. Circles are considered proximity
waypoints. These elements may be output to a text
file, but not directly to the Garmin units by G7TO.
However, the text file can be uploaded to the Garmin
units by G7TO. Proximity waypoints, lines and areas
in a text file can be output to an sa4 file.
I decided not to allow direct transfer to the Garmin
units because the very fine program Waypoint+ already
does this, but it does not run under DOS, and, I have
a Hewlett Packard palmtop that does not run windows.
G7TO allows me to 'read' the SA4 file to a text file
which can be uploaded to the G12XL by G7TO.
Fixed bug in output alignment of the text associated
with symbols.
This version was not released to the public.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2.06 - Added some minor support for SA4 files
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2.05 - Navigate.exe waypoint names are now converted to
Garmin format by first removing all ' ' and '#'
characters. Earlier versions of g7to replaced these
characters with a '-'. If the resulting name is
longer than 6 characters, the program takes the first
3 and the last 3 characters of the name. This⌨️ 快捷键说明
