Did the patch from this thread ever get implemented in the Xastir source code?
http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg00085.html I've been playing with gpsman (version 6.4) and am getting the message "Unknown file format name: Shapefile_2D" when trying to download a GPS track with Xastir, and Google led me to the above thread. I haven't tested the patch yet, but I'm assuming that's my problem. I'll test it later when I have more time. BTW, I'm going to get a chance to hook up a Garmin Astro receiver to my Ubuntu laptop and play with it in two weeks at a SAR conference (see my Astro thread from a few weeks ago). In theory the following command should work for newer model Garmin USB GPS units, right? gpsman -dev usb=/dev/ttyUSB0 -log -rec Garmin getwrite TR Shapefile dim=2 astrotest I'm trying to do my research ahead of time, because I'm unlikely to have internet access at the conference (no Google to help me!). Hopefully I'll be able to confirm what the track and waypoint output from the Astro receiver looks like for possible use with gpsmanshp in Xastir at a later date. Thanks!
