## Version 6.3.2 -- June 2007

- 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).
- explicit support for some more Garmin receivers or their new firmware versions, including: the GPSMap 60, the StreetPilot i2, the eTrex Venture and the Forerunner 305; with thanks to all those who sent protocol lists: Philip Hands, Rolf Werum, Patrick Kik, Waldemar de Laurent, Jon Niehof, Harry Jensen, Alberto Ham, Hans-Peter Nilsson, Jorge Sanchez, Jeremiah Horner.
