As there is now some usable functionality in the libraries and utilities, I bumped up the status to 'Alpha'.

garmin-device-cap: a device capability dumper (Linux)
garmin-wpt: a way point dumper (Linux)

After some inactivity the gpstoolbox project has been started up again with an expanded goal of providing a cross platform application library to interface with Garmin GPS units and some useful applications for several popular platforms.

The original goal of the project was a NMEA based mapping application.

The basic functionality of GpsToolbox's GPS::NaviEngine::TkImageView module is working, as well as the GUI application TraceMapper.

A preliminary version of the GpsToolbox console application NmeaTextView is ready for evaluation. This application is a console front end to the GpsToolbox NaviEngine module. See the README file for build information.
