## Version 6.1 -- June 2004

- support for Spanish contributed by Alberto Morales (amd77`_at_`gulic.org).
- new options:
  - user unit for altitude (metres, feet); suggested by Chuck Cox (chuck413`_at_`sbcglobal.net).
  - map default projection, map default position format.
  - default line width for representing routes, tracks and polylines.
  - MapGuide text format default version.
- route waypoints in GPSMan data files must now be given in full, using names only is no longer supported; there is a new utility `wpsinfull.tcl` in the `util` directory to convert old files.
- polylines as a new data type, to be used as background for the map; suggested by David Kaplan (dmkaplan`_at_`ucdavis.edu).
- creation of a new waypoint at a given distance and bearing from an existing one; asked by Alessandro Palmas (alpalmas`_at_`tin.it).
- routes and tracks now have colours that can be changed.
- speed graph for tracks; suggested by Paulo Quaresma (pq`_at_`di.uevora.pt).
- climb rate graph for tracks; suggested by Paul Scorer (P.Scorer`_at_`leedsmet.ac.uk) who kindly provided a noise-reduction filter for the data.
- 2D plots can now be resized; code contributed by Martin Buck (m`_at_`rtin-buck.de).
- 2D elevation and speed graphs can now be plotted against time instead of total distance.
- the symbol of each waypoint in a group can be changed from the group window; code contributed by Jean H. Theoret (ve2za`_at_`rac.ca).
- computation of distance along line on the map, extending previous measurement between two points; suggested by Victor Yip (vgyip`_at_`ucdavis.edu).
- control window or confirmation for slow operations; suggested by David Kaplan.
- support for GPX export format, both for exportation and importation (including files produced by GPSBabel), contributed by Valère Robin (valere.robin`_at_`wanadoo.fr).
- exportation of waypoints and tracks in OziExplorer format; contributed by Alessandro Palmas.
- importation of the 2003/2004 version of MapGuide; from information sent by Heiko Theide (Heiko.Thede`_at_`gmx.de). There will be conversion errors if the version of the file is different from that given by the user.
- importation/exportation of MapGuide files no longer depends on the receiver brand; asked by Alessandro Palmas.
- importing NMEA log from file as a track (Garmin variant only); asked by Siegfried Leisen (lei`_at_`cray.com).
- importing/exporting Shapefile files in position formats other than decimal degrees for latitude/longitude and metres for altitude, and datums other than "WGS 84". With `gpsmanshp` version 1.1 it is now possible to read Shapefile polygons.
- importation of IGC (FAI GNSS) data files; asked by Paul Scorer.
- support for TFW (Tiff World File metadata format) files for geo-referencing images; asked by Paolo Cavallini (cavallini`_at_`faunalia.it).
- partial support for OziExplorer map files for geo-referencing images; asked by Eric Spierings (ericspierings`_at_`netscape.net).
- support for grades (centesimal degrees) as signed floats.
- using the central/false longitude of a projection to fix the range of possible longitude values; this corrects problems with longitude values near E180 and have implications on how points and lines are displayed in small-scale maps.
- new projections:
  - CRT Italian projection and grid, from information sent by Alessandro Palmas.
  - Austrian projection and grid (Bundesmeldenetz); suggested by Alessandro Palmas.
  - Teale Albers projection and grid; asked by David Kaplan.
  - Albers Equal Area and Lambert Equal Area Conic projections.
  - French projections and grids; asked by Alessandro Palmas.
- new syntax for some old commands in command-line mode, and several new commands, including execution of GPSMan command scripts and Tcl/Tk scripts; partly in answer to questions from Joakim Majander (Joakim.Majander`_at_`enprima.com) and Pascal Brisset (pascal.brisset`_at_`free.fr).
- explicit support for Garmin receivers (with thanks to): Geko 201 (Christoph Dworzak, Sabine Sagner-Weigl, David Klotz), Geko 301 (Laurent Bonnaud), GPS5 (Matthias M. Weber), GPS12 Map (Gracjan Ziolek), StreetPilot 3 (Gerrit Huizenga), Garmin Rino 120 (Chuck Cox), Garmin Rino 110 (Alexander Damyanov), GPSMap60C (Klaus Ethgen).
