Least Squares fit for geo-referencing images either by placing
control points on the image, or by giving a file of coordinates of
control points; asked by James B. Mehl (jmehl_at_rockisland.com)
who kindly provided the formulas.
the track computation window now displays for each track point
its date and position; there was a change in the order of the fields
both in the window and in saved results; asked by Victor Yip.
enhanced support for GPX files; contributed by Valčre Robin.
dealing with track segments in GPX files; asked by Tomi Ollila.
importing and exporting tracks using a file format similar to
the Garmin Simple Text Output protocol.
getfix command now also produces the altitude if in a 3D
fix; asked by Marc van der Sluys.
new geopicts command geo-references files (e.g., picture
files from a digital camera) either based on their time-stamps and a
given track, or by using the sequence of waypoints in a group. The
result is a file with waypoints (at present in GPX format) that can
be suitable for use with Web applications. Implemented using as
model a Python script kindly contributed by Valčre Robin.
new show symbols command prints for each waypoint symbol
its internal name followed by the name in the user-selected
language; symbol internal names may be needed in the geopicts
command.
the read command that was only to be used in GPSMan scripts
can now be used from the command-line in which case it reads a data
file and launches the graphical interface; suggested by Valčre Robin.
names of file formats in commands can now be given all in lower
case letters.
for MS-Windows users, the manual now explains how to set the
user directory under the user's "Application Data" directory;
contributed by Harald Stauss (harald.stauss_at_web.de).
