                         GiPSi V0.4
-----------------------------------------------------------------

This very small and simple application is able to download and upload
waypoints from and to a GPS device and delete waypoints from the GPS memory.
I tested this app with Lowrance GlobalNav200 and it should work fine
with other models made by Lowrance and maybe by next producers.

-----------------------------------------------------------------
                  This small program is freeware.
-----------------------------------------------------------------

How to install:

1. Create new folder called "GiPSi" in your "C:\System\App" or "D:\System\App" directory.
2. Copy files "GiPSi.app" and "GiPSi.aif" into this folder.
3. Copy file "GiPSi.template" to your "C:\Documents\" or "D:\Documents\"
   folder. This step isn't necessary. The file can be used for import of waypoints
   from text fiel to the database file.

What do you need to connect GPS to Psion:

You will have to connect your GPS serial cable to the PsiWin serial cable.
You can use:

1. Nullmodem with DB9 connectors

                OR

2. Homemade reduction, just connect pins:

         PsiWin cable        GPS cable
         DB9 conector        DB9 conector

1) How to download Waypoints from GPS to a file:
     - Connect devices
     - Switch Psion and GPS on
     - Set GPS communication speed to 4800 bps
     - Switch remote link off (System->Tools->Remote link->Off)
     - Start GiPSi
     - Press Enter to login to the GPS
     - Show "Device Info" to check that all works ok
     - Select "Selected" from the "Read Wpts" menu item
     - Enter a value for From and To. These values specify
       waypoint range for download. Press Enter.
     - Type a file name. There will be values stored.
     - Wait a moment
     - The result info window will be shown. Press Enter

     OK, you have the file with waypoints on your disk...
     The waypoints are stored in a form of text file. The format is:

     "Name1","Latitude1","Longtitude1"<CR><LF>
     "Name2","Latitude2","Longtitude2"<CR><LF>
     ......


2) How to edit, delete and add waypoints:

     - Open GiPSi.template file (or it's copy)
     - Use "File->More->Import text file"
     - Find your GPS text file

     Now you have your waypoints in the database and you can edit,
     delete or add waypoints.

     Latitude and longtitude can be entered in these formats:

     S 50 12 15.6
     S50 12 15.6
     -50 12 15.6

     N 50 1215.6
     N50 12 15.6
     50 12 15.6
    
     E 15 20 3.5
     E15 20 3.5
     15 20 3.5

     W 15 20 3.5 
     W15 20 3.5 
     -15 20 3.5

     You can also use symbols for degree, etc as are used in the database.

     It's time to export the waypoints back to text file:

     - Use "File->More->Export as text file...->"
     - Type a name

3) How to send waypoints back to GPS:

     - Use Send Wpts->All
     - Find your file and enter the waypoint memory number where
       will be the first waypoint stored
     - Wait a minute

Warning:
     If you delete, add or reorder your waypoints and if you send them
     to used memory locations it will have impact to your route
     definitions.

I use GiPSi one week without problem but you know it:
I don't feel responsible for a damage of your Psion or GPS...
I suggest to make a backup of the GPS memory before first tests...
