## Version 6.0 -- March 2003

- support for Magellan receivers, contributed by Matt Martin (matt.martin`_at_`ieee.org).
- Indonesian language support, contributed by Tri Agus Prayitno (acuss`_at_`bk.or.id).
- perspective elevation graphs and enhanced side-view graphs of routes and tracks, contributed by Alessandro Palmas (alpalmas`_at_`tin.it).
- changes in the focus policy and bindings in non-Unix like systems, contributed by Stefan Heinen (Stefan.Heinen`_at_`synopsys.com).
- importation of files in Map&Guide and related software (Falk, Power Route) export format; based on scripts contributed by Heiko Thede (Heiko.Thede`_at_`gmx.de).
- a few new options: default baud rate, disable checking characters in names and comments, dafault printing command, size of font used in map labels, default widths for route and track lines on the map.
- new command line mode (no graphical interface) for GPSMan to be used by other applications; suggested by Curt Mills (hacker`_at_`tc.fluke.com) for use with Xastir.
- changes in the renaming of items with the same name (only applying to waypoints now) and in the way new names are generated; based on suggestions by Robert Joop (rj`_at_`rainbow.in-berlin.de).
- routes can now have non-numeric identifiers.
- routes and tracks have now a field for the width of the lines used to represent them on the map; suggested by Klaus Ethgen (Klaus`_at_`Ethgen.de).
- a track can now be simplified yielding a new track; suggested by Klaus Ethgen.
- segments in tracks; on a demand by Tomasz R. Surmacz (ts`_at_`wroc.apk.net).
- during the animation of a track, the current track point can be skipped; the scale for animation speed is now exponential; suggested by Slaven Rezic (rezic`_at_`onlineoffice.de).
- a group can be now forgotten with all its elements, easying the task of forgetting large numbers of items.
- hidden information in waypoints and tracks can now be displayed from their edit/show windows; suggested by Robert Joop.
- distances and azimuths can now be measured on the map; suggested by Victor Yip (vgyip`_at_`ucdavis.edu).
- new projections:
  - Schreiber double projection, and more accurate RD grid; implemented from a RDNAP document in an English translation kindly provided by Rob Buitenhuis (rob`_at_`buitenhs.demon.nl).
  - Swiss Oblique Mercator and LV03; asked for by Andreas Hünnebeck (andreas`_at_`huennebeck-online.de).
- the Iceland (IcG) and the Netherlands (RDG) grids are now predefined.
- control waypoints can now be defined during geo-referencing.
- subsidiary map background images can be now be placed out of the grid; suggested by Stefan Heinen.
- real-time logging, Garmin variant:
  - travel/navigation interface.
  - continuously saving the real-time log to a file for use by other applications; suggested by Ashutosh Dutta (dutta`_at_`cs.columbia.edu).
- support for several new graphics formats if the `Img` library is available; suggested by David Wolfskill (davidmyatcatwhisker.org) and Stefan Hauser (etienne`_at_`imp.ch).
- the font size of labels on the map can now be changed; suggested by Ronaldo Reis Jr. (chrysopa@insecta.ufv.br)
- printing map and elevation graphs to a PS printer; suggested by Anto Veldre (anto.veldre`_at_`tllapt.ee)
- importation and/or exportation of data files in
  - GTrackMaker format; with the help of Odilon Ferreira Jr (odilonf`_at_`estaminas.com.br), on a suggestion by Ronaldo Reis Jr.
  - gd2 format; suggested by Kenneth Ingham (ingham`_at_`i-pi.com).
  - ESRI Shapefile format if the `gpsmanshp` library is available.
- new symbols added for geocache and geocache found; images for them and for border kindly provided by Robert Joop.
- better support for the Garmin Protocol Capability protocol, thanks to tests by Klaus Ethgen.
- explicit support for Garmin receivers: eMap version >2.7 (tests by Stefan Hauser), GPSMAP 76 (tests by Herbert Tammer, H.E.Tammer`_at_`DNB.NL), GPS 76 (tests by Brice-Olivier Demory, brice-olivier.demory`_at_`epfl.ch), GPS 72 (tests by Ashutosh Dutta), GPSMAP 76S (tests by Klaus Ethgen).
