A.00.200f
May 26, 2008
          Fixed a bug which caused an empty temperature field in a
          .csv file to be read as 0 degrees C.

May 25, 2008
          Recompiled using visual styles.  That removes the annoying
          Beep bug when changing the selected item in a listbox under
          Vista.  This may cause problems in versions of Windows
          prior to XP SP2.

May 23, 2008
          Fixed a bug in reading .gdb version two files.  This was
          caused by a change in the way MapSource handles the file.
          This change was made sometime in the past--likely before
          .gdb version 3 was introduced but I didn't notice the
          change.

Nov 29, 2007
          If a GPX file contained a space before the = in a latitude
          or longitude, i.e. <wpt lat ="42.422326" the value would
          be read as zero.  Fixed.

Oct 18, 2007
          Added a Warning indication that will notify when a download
          or file read has resulted in duplicate waypoints.

          The checkbox is on the Configuration-General tab in the
          Reading Dups frame.  The Warn? box probably should not be
          checked in a configuration file used with a command line
          operation.

Sept 23, 2007
          Fixed a bug in reading gpx files that could result in anything
          from no errors to duplicated entries.

Sept 23, 2007
          Fixed a bug in the reading of waypoints from .gpx files when
          using the command line version of G7ToWin.

Sept 22, 2007
          Fixed a bug in reading routes from .gpx files.  This bug
          was introduced when the reading speed was increased.

Sept 19, 2007
          Increased the speed of reading .gpx files.

Aug 1, 2007
          Minor change to allow French spelling of month names
          to be read from the comment field of those Garmin
          GPS units that support the comment field and the French
          language.  The months in French are converted to English
          upon being read from the GPS.

          Changed program to force first route read from a MapTech
          route file (.rxf) to be route # 1.  This change was made
          due to user requests.

          Fixed a bug that sometimes caused G7ToWin to crash when
          reading .cup files.
         
May 6, 2007
          Events not handled properly on a command line download from
          a LEI unit.  Fixed.

Apr 24, 2007
          Fixed a problem sending data to SA4-SA9.  Selecting to not
          send names to Route 0 waypoints would also remove the names
          from regular waypoints.

Apr 23, 2007
          Fixed a problem reading the SP III as a default icon family.

Apr 22, 2007
          Fixed a problem reading .loc files.  Sometimes the type
          parameter was decoded incorrectly.

Apr 17, 2007
          Modified the way G7ToWin handles command line parametes.
          The configuration file pathname can now be specified.
          See the helpfile under 'Command Line Options' for more
          information.

Apr 14, 2007
          Added Temperature and Proximity distance to 'sortable'
          columns in the waypoint list.

          Previous to this version all proximity waypoints were
          sent to the gps whenever waypoints were sent using
          the 'Send Selected waypoints to' popup menu from the
          waypoint list.  With this release only selected waypoints 
          are sent.

Apr 10, 2007
          Fixed a bug in reading waypoint categories from the
          registry.

Apr 9, 2007
          Waypoint Categories can be loaded from or saved to the 
          registry in an area where MapSource will read and use
          the names.  This allows G7ToWin and MapSource to use
          the same categories.

          Waypoint Categories are now saved to the g7towin.ini file.

          If output file Version 1 is checked on the configuration
          tab and the output file type is .g7t then the Category
          line will not be written to the file.  ALL other aspects
          of a .g7t file remain unchanged.

Mar 25, 2007
          Fixed a problem saving a .igc file when neither of the two
          options to automatically name the file were checked.

Mar 17, 2007
          IGC files were being saved in the startup folder not in
          the Save IGC Folder.  Fixed.

Jan 10, 2007
          Fixed a problem reading/writing OziCE .rt2 files.

Jan 9, 2007
          Fixed a bug in reading lat/long in .gpx files.  Order of
          the elements is now not important.  Previously "lat"
          had to come first followed by "lon".

Jan 5, 2006
          Cleaned up USB routines and added to USB debug info.

Dec 2, 2006
          More work on Proximity waypoints.  See helpfile for a
          description of how Proximity waypoints are handled.

          More work on getting USB to work properly with Win98.

Nov 25, 2006
          Proximity waypoints weren't counted if a file was
          dropped onto the G7ToWin window or icon.  Fixed.

Nov 22, 2006
          Changed the way suffixes are handled in a file save.  If
          no suffix is input in the File Save input box then the file 
          name will have .g7t added as the suffix.  If a suffix 
          unknown to G7ToWin is used then the chosen file filter 
          suffix (Save as type:) is used.  
          
          Examples:

          If the filter suffix (Save as type:) is .gdb and

          fname to save            file saved
          myname                   myname.gdb
          myname.                  myname.gdb
          myname..                 myname..gdb
          myname.q                 myname.q.gdb
          myname.twx               myname.twx.gdb
          myname.g7t               myname.g7t

          If the filter chosen is All Files (*.*) then all of the
          extensions above will default to .g7t if the extension
          typed in isn't known to G7ToWin.

Nov 10, 2006
          G7ToWin looks for the string "MapSource" at the beginning
          of a .gdb file.  If the string does not exist the file can
          not be a MapSource.gdb file.  The comparison was case 
          sensitive.  Some programs output "Mapsource" as the string.
          G7ToWin could not read those files because the comparison
          failed.  This version changes the comparison to be case
          insensitive.

Oct 9, 2006
          Fixed a problem reading uncompressed .loc files.

Sep 8, 2006
          G7ToWin had the capability to decode a Garmin symbol from
          an OziExplorer waypoint description.  The symbol needed
          to be enclosed in semi-colons ";".  This use is no longer
          supported by G7ToWin.  If a user needs this capability please 
          let me know.

Aug 30, 2006
          Added build information to header in .gpx files.

Aug 29, 2006
          Fixed a problem with the VP and TP data in a .g7t track file.
          The values could be wrong if Distances weren't output to
          the file.
         
Aug 28, 2006
          Fixed a problem with the VP column in the output of track
          information to .csv files.

Aug 24, 2006
          Fixed a bug which could cause a program crash if too many
          files were read in and Monitor was checked.

Aug 23, 2006
          Recompiled so helpfile F1 subjects are in sync.

Aug 20, 2006
          Added to the 'Use REFERENCE Waypoint to' submenu.

Aug 17, 2006
          Added a cut/paste for waypoints.  The data format in the
          Windows Clipboard is documented in the helpfile.

Aug 12, 2006
          Fixed a time problem in reading .gpl files.  The GMT times
          in .gpl files were silently converted to local time but
          represented as GMT.

Aug 10, 2006
          Fixed a problem with track output to GPX files.

          Fixed a problem saving a route to a track.

July 29, 2006
          Fixed bounding box output in .gpx files.

July 20, 2006
          Added support for track data record D304 used in the Edge
          305.

April 25, 2006
          Fixed a typo which caused display download of supported
          units to fail.

April 12, 2006
          Added menuitem in Waypoint List to create a track from the
          selected waypoints.

          G7ToWin would fail if reading a .g7t file in which existed
          a waypoint with a caret (^) in the name.  Fixed.

April 11, 2006
          Tracks read from a .gdb file would not cycle colors when
          sent to SA.  Fixed.

March 30, 2006
          Minor changes to reading of .gpx files.  Previous version
          required waypoints come first followed by routes followed
          by tracks.  GPX files are now read three times, once
          looking for waypoints, once for routes and once for
          tracks.  This makes the order of the waypoints, routes,
          and tracks unimportant.

March 10, 2006
          Fixed a bug creating MapSource .gdb files introduced by a
          typo yesterday.

March 9, 2006
          Fixed a problem with the 'dirty bit' and saving proximity
          waypoints.

          Added build date and time information to Help->About and
          to the title bar.

March 8, 2006
          Added ability to preface route waypoint names with the
          number of the route.  This is set on the File->Configuration
          ->General tab.  The checkbox is cleared each time the program
          is started. This occurs at the time the route is read.

          Added the ability to set the number of routes handled by the
          program.  The number defaults to 100 (routes 0-99) and is
          set in the configuration "Folder Paths" tab.  If no routes
          have been defined the new setting takes place immediately. If
          routes are defined then the user is prompted to save the
          configuration and restart the program.

          NOTE:  As the number of routes increases the amount of
                 housekeeping increases at an exponential rate.  More
                 than 100 routes or so can cause the program to slow
                 down considerably.

======================================================================
A.00.200e
Feb 25, 2006
          Fixed a problem reading waypoint categories via the serial
          port.

          Fixed a problem reading OziExplorer route files when the
          Ozi time in the waypoint record is zero.

Feb 23, 2006
          Cosmetic changes and recompile.

Feb 18, 2006
          Added Product ID 292 to the list of Garmin units that
          support Lower case in waypoint data.  Product ID 292
          is at least the 76CSx and may be used for the 60Cx,
          60CSx, and 76Cx, also.

Feb 9, 2006
          Increased the allowable length of the comment field to
          50 characters.

          Created a class of Garmin units that allow lower case
          in Waypoint names and added the SP 7200 to the list.

Feb 5, 2006
          Changed text in two menu items to reflect the parameter
          WaypointNameLength added previously.

Feb 1, 2006
          Removed ability to remove duplicate waypoints based upon
          a name comparison of 6 or 10 characters.

          Added a waypoint name length parameter.  This parameter
          defaults to 20 and can be set on the File->Configuration->
          General tab.

          The waypoint name length parameter is used in a new menu
          item under Waypoints.  This menu entry will remove duplicate
          waypoints based upon a comparison involving the first X
          characters where X is set by the waypoint name length
          parameter.

          Under Waypoint list the 'right click' menu entry 'Select'
          has a new item used to select duplicates based upon a
          comparison of the waypoint names using the first X
          characters in the comparison.  X is set from the waypoint
          name length parameter.

          The waypoint name length parameter is also used in determining
          if waypoints are duplicates for sending waypoints to MapSource
          or writing waypoints to .gdb files.

Jan 26, 2006
          Waypoint categories were stored in the .ini file.  That
          is no longer the case.  Waypoint categories are stored
          in .g7t files and in .gpx files.  No other files have
          waypoint categories stored in them.

          Reading waypoints from a GPS that supports categories
          resets the category information in G7ToWin.  Sending
          waypoints to a GPS that supports waypoint categories
          will also send the categories to the GPS.

          NOTE: This has not been tested on Garmin units with
                a serial port.  I do not have access to a Garmin
                serial port GPS that supports categories.
    
Jan 21, 2006
          Added support for Transparent color tracks.  By default
          icons also support the tranparent color though I don't
          know of any units that support transparent colored icons.
Jan 12, 2006
          Minor bug fixes and code cleanup.
Jan 4, 2006
          Track point and Waypoint temperature is now saved to and 
          read from .csv files.

Jan 3, 2006
          Added ability to read simple TopoUSA .txt files.
Dec 29, 2005
          Switch to VS2005 C compiler caused problems with time
          counter.  Fixed.

          Added some error checking for improperly formatted lat/long
          in .g7t wpt/trk records.  This is not implemented for 
          versions of .g7t/.txt files prior to Version 2.
Dec 24, 2005
          Fixed a problem which caused the first waypoint read from
          to fail to save to a .g7t file.
Dec 21, 2005
          Fixed a bug that occurred when saving an Ozi.wpt file and
          the Icon set was a Magellan icon set.
Dec 19, 2005
          Changed Magellan download code to only report the first
          unknown data received.
Nov 25, 2005
          Modified icon names for the Magellan 330, Meridian, and
          SporTrak Pro to use the names presented to the user not
          the names as shown in the Thales specification.
Nov 23, 2005
          Magellan icon names will be written to .gpx files if a
          Magellan unit is selected.  Previously the Garmin
          equivalent was used.
Nov 22, 2005
          Fixed a problem which caused SporTrak Pro icon family to
          not be displayed.
Oct 28, 2005
          Fixed a problem in reading Ozi .wpt files with incomplete
          lines of data.
Oct 25, 2005
          Cosmetic changes only.
Oct 18, 2005
          Fixed a problem that could cause reading MapTech .rxf files 
          to fail.
Oct 17, 2005
          Altitudes from Magellan units was not displayed.  Fixed.
Oct 7, 2005
          If G7ToWin was started by dragging a file and dropping it on
          the G7ToWin icon the file could not be 'sent to' MapSource
          or to SA.  Fixed.

Oct 4, 2005
          Ozi files were output in WGS-84 even if a different external
          datum was selected.  Fixed.

Sept 26, 2005
          Added Legend (8Mb) with Product ID of 411 to list of devices
          that support display download.

Sept 21, 2005
          Changed the output of .gdb and .gpx files to NOT rename the
          first track to ACTIVE LOG if the box "Garmin Trk GPX Fmt?"
          is NOT checked on the configuration page.

Sept 5, 2005
          Changed the way duplicates are removed to keep the altitude
          of the waypoint that has a valid altitude.  If both
          waypoints have a valid altitude then other factors will
          decide which altitude to keep.

Aug 19, 2005
          Changed the way the program reacts after reading in a file.
          If waypoints are read then the waypoint list is displayed.
          If no waypoints are read but tracks are read then the track
          list is displayed.  If neither waypoints nor tracks are read
          but routes are read then the route tree is displayed.
          Proximity waypoints are counted as waypoints for the above.

Aug 15, 2005
          Fixed a problem with uploading proximity waypoints.

======================================================================
July 22, 2005
A.00.200c Minor bug fixes.

          Added ability to sort all tracks entered by date and time
          and create a single track from the sorted segments.

======================================================================
June 28, 2005
A.00.200b Added abilit to set Proximity Distance to that of the
          Reference waypoint.

======================================================================
June 5, 2005
A.00.200a Fixed a problem with altitudes in uploading Magellan track 
          points.

======================================================================
May 21, 2005
A.00.200  Added Category edit for Garmin Waypoint Category values.
          See File->Configuration->Waypoint Categories tab.

          Modified .gpx output to support Garmin Extensions for .gpx
          files as defined in MapSource 6.6.1 beta and above.
 
          Fixed a track naming problem when named tracks were output to
          .gpx output and the track did not have a name.

          Fixed a problem reading waypoint altitudes in .pcx5 files.

          Fixed a problem writing Ozi route names.

          Fixed a problem writing Ozi track names.

======================================================================
May 7, 2005
A.00.199f Set 'igc' to be the default file extension for 'Save IGC
          Track File' menu item.  The extension will automatically
          be added to the file name if an extension is not input
          and the file name does not end with a period '.'.
   
          Added 60C/CS (76C/CS) Icon support.

======================================================================
April 25, 2005
A.00.199e Program now reads/writes datum from/to Ozi files.  If the
          datum name written to the Ozi file has a trailing '*' 
          character then the datum does not exist within OziExplorer.

======================================================================
April 20, 2005
A.00.199d Output file selection for Ozi/Fugawi/PCX was inverted. Fixed.

======================================================================
April 20, 2005
A.00.199c Added track color to .gpx routines.

          Added 64 Custom waypoint symbols to MapSource symbol set.

          Changed Ozi .wpt, .plt, and .rte routines to support the
          0xD1 (209) character as a comma replacement for Ozi files.

======================================================================
March 4, 2005
A.00.199b Fixed a problem with the waypoints list.  On a sort the
          first selected item was not made visible.
