Miscellaneous
-
changes in option values in some cases do not take effect
immediately but only after GPSMan is restarted. Some care should be
taken to avoid inconsistencies due to this. In particular, changes in
the distance unit affect the
possible values for the initial map scale,
so that a change in the latter is normally needed in the next session
after changing the former.
- anything that looks like a button normally is a button.
-
closing a window from the window manager may cause data to be
lost, and GPSMan may be unable to create it again.
-
at any time only one waypoint, one route, one track and one
group may be open for editing; other such items may be viewed but
not edited.
-
when exiting from the program (
GPS Manager button, or
ctrl-c in the GPSMan windows), unsaved data will be lost unless
the interface state is to be saved (see above).
As saved state files will be overwritten automatically by GPSMan it is
a good idea to save important data to a file before quitting the program.
- in an input operation asking for the data read in to be
displayed on the map may turn out to be a time consuming task.
