PsiGar3 Version
3.0
PsiGar is what you need if you own a
Psion Series3a /3c and a Garmin GPS receiver. The program has specifically been
tested with a GPS45 model but seems to work with most Garmin
models.
The program allows you to
transfer Almanac information, Routes, Track Logs and Waypoints between then
Psion and the GPS unit. You can also set the Psion's internal clock from the
GPS.
In addition you can convert the
Waypoint files, Routes and Track Logs to a type which can be edited using the
Psion's built in "Data" program. These edited files can then be converted back
to Garmin type files and sent to the GPS receiver.
The GPS file transfers routines
have been rewritten offering up to a 50% increase in speed.
The PCX5 transfer routines have
been improved.
Some bugfixes regarding
waypoint/trackpoint creation dates
Psiway is an addon module supplied
with PsiGar which allows you to manipulate waypoints more
easily.
At it's simplest level you can
use the Psion as an external keyboard for the GPS.
Psiway supports direct editing
of waypoint files without first converting them to database
files.
Psiway also supports entering
waypoints using OSGB Grid references and also allows the viewing of existing
waypoints as OSGB Grid references.
The module is still not fully
debugged but the problems can't be to severe judging by the level of feedback
from users. (The problems arise if you try to use OSGB grid references outside
the applicable area.)

Third Party extras for
PsiGar
The following software is released as is.
Neither I or the authors accept any responsibility for any consequences arising
out of the use of this software. These programs were written for the authors own
benefit and have been given to me so that they could be made available to other
PsiGar users for free. Note there is no documentation for these programs but the
use is fairly obvious if you remember to use them with the correct type of data
files. Install the programs into any .opo directory.

PsiTrk
Written by Floyd Doughty.
This program
takes a track ".trk" file and allows the manipulation of the track records,
giving several statistics and the ability to merge nearby points to produce a
simpler track log. Note on a large track log this can be very very slow!
