Psigar 5 version 5.09 Beta 8 , is an ongoing attempt to sort compatibility issues with emap, vista and GPSMAP 76 models. It may also apply to other newer models that have problems displaying waypoints correctly in version 5.08. Can anyone using this version please include a relevant waypoint file when sending me any bug reports, and also run identify GPS under the Special menu and include the results of this as well.
To provide better PC compatability I have enhanced the PCX5 import and export functions in this version to work better with GPS Utility for the PC available from
When using GPS utility under Options, Data set, use dates-day/month/year, seperator -, 2digit day, short month names. deselect 4 digit year. Use decimal point . sign symbol n,s,e,w. File format PCX5. Set files to D M.mmmm before saving. When converting tracklogs from PCX5 format for the eTrex,emap Gpsmap etc if there are more than 125 points in the track log it must be converted as the "active log" or it will be truncated on uploading to the GPS.
Added to this version is the ability to deal with Street Planner as well as Route Planner overlay files.
This version should also be much more Revo friendly than any previous one.
This version will contain bugs. I cannot test the new functionallity as I don't have an appropriate GPS.
PsiGar 5 version 5.08 Beta 2 supports Palmtop Route Planner Overlay importing and exporting. It should also allow the use of filenames with spaces in them.
This is an early Beta release so that it can be tested by as may users as possible to aid in bug fixing. The PsiGar5.hlp and PsiGar5.doc files have not been updated to cover the new features as yet.
Psigar 5 version 5.07 Beta 2 now supports waypoint and route editing on Garmin's eTrex, eTrex Summit and eMap models. This was a Beta release, but has not caused any major problems so it can been used by all.
Bug fixes.
All options under the Convert menu should now work.
Route editing bug fixed.
PsiGar 5 is essentially a backup utility for Garmin GPS
units and a Psion series 5 or 5mx.
PsiGar 5 allows easy
manipulation of waypoint files allowing editing adding and erasing Waypoints.
PsiGar 5 can also be used as an extended keyboard for
the GPS to make entering waypoint names and comments easier and much faster.
For those who shouldn't take their eyes off the road PsiGar
can be set up to generate automatically named waypoints with every press of the
spacebar.
PsiGar 5 supports exporting waypoints and
track logs to text files.
Support for the different waypoint
formats used in the Garmin range has now been improved.
PsiGar5 can now work directly with RealMaps. This allows
the current position within RealMaps to be saved to a PsiGar waypoint file. The
position can either be derived manually from the cursor position within RealMaps
or from the GPS position as received by RealMaps. This requires version 5.07 of
RealMaps or later.
Exporting waypoint and track log files to a format
usable as a RealMaps overlay is now also supported. Full instructions are
available here
