What is GPStrans-0.32
---------------------

GPStrans-0.32-mk is a program which allows to download tracks 
from your Garmin GPS and save the data in the Mayko mXmap format.

Tracks retrieved from your Garmin GPS could be feed back into
Mayko mXmap application (see www.mayko.com/mxmap) and replayed
with the "Track from log" feature.

This allows you to display your recorded track on your 
favorite map in Mayko mXmap.

It is tested on Intel-based Linux machines (2.0.33, gcc-2.7.2.1) 
with Garmin GPS II Plus. I haven't test it with other 
operating systems or with other GPS receivers. Please report
any problem to xmap@mayko.com.

See the README of gpstrans-0.31b-js1 for further information.


Changes to GPStrans-0.32b-mk vs. GPStrans-0.32-mk
-------------------------------------------------

Version 0.32b-mk (versa 0.32-mk) will calculate speed
based on distance and time between two gps points.

Note, this speed is 'average' information and does not necessarily
reflect the 'real' speed expirienced at track time. 
Use Mayko's mXmap "track to log" feature to log more detailed
information.

Altitude data can not be generated. Unfortunately this
information (even if produced by certain Garmin GPSs) is
not natively saved by a Garmin GPS and the Garmin protocol
does not deliver such data either.
 

How to use GPStrans-0.32
------------------------

Gpstrans-0.32 includes a new option which needs to be applied to
save downloaded data in the Xmap format:

	gpstrans -s			// configure gpstrans
	gpstrans -m -dt >track.xlog	//download and save in Xmap format	

Note, the current version only allows to save 'track' information
of the Garmin GPS in mXmap-format. On interest we will follow up
with an updated version to utilize route data between Garmin
and Mayko mXmap.
