## Version 6.1.2 -- July 2004

- the user manual explains how GPSMan can be run under the MacOS X system using a USB port; thanks to Mathias Herberts (Mathias.Herberts`_at_`iroise.net).
- new options:
  - on using window to control slow operations; in answer to a comment by Paul Scorer (p.scorer`_at_`leedsmet.ac.uk).
  - on whether polylines on the map should react to mouse events; in answer to a question from John Hay (jhay`_at_`icomtek.csir.co.za).
  - default receiver protocol (Garmin variant only); in answer to questions from users of the NMEA protocol.
- new command `start travel` that launches GPSMan in graphical mode turning on real-time logging, travelling and animation; after a question from John Hay.
- in travel mode (Garmin variant only), creating a waypoint whose coordinates are those of the last point in the real-time log; also in answer to a question from John Hay.
- new importation format: BGA (British Gliding Association) turnpoint (DOS) files, based on the `dos2gpsman` script by Paul Scorer (p.scorer`_at_`leedsmet.ac.uk); the script is also part of the GPSMan distribution.
- with `gpsmanshp` version 1.2, items read in from a Shapefile not written by `gpsmanshp` will have in their remarks any fields of the .dbf file; asked by John Hay.
- new separate utility (`shape2quadr.tcl`) for reading a lines DDD Shapefile and from a list of quadrangles produce GPSMan files one for the set of lines that belong to each quadrangle.
