## Launching GPSMan

If GPSMan was installed from a Debian or RPM package, just call `gpsman` from a shell or from the applications menu of the window manager (if it was set up by the package installation program).

In other Unix or Linux systems call `gpsman.tcl` from the shell or use the shell script`gpsman.sh` (it must be configured first).

In these systems there could be a single argument with the path to the serial port device, or the call has the form
`gpsman [OPTIONS] start travel [INTERVAL]`
that will be parsed as if in command-linde mode, but then launches the graphical interface (this will only work with Garmin receivers).

In other systems, execute `gpsman.tcl` with the Tcl/Tk `wish` program.
