GPSMan Symbols

GPSMan defines a set of symbols for waypoints that is described below under four categories (not mutually exclusive): general use, land, water, and aviation. This set is based on the symbols described in the "Garmin GPS Interface Specification" (Revision 3), but extends it, including, for instance, the symbols used by Lowrance receivers (contributed by Brian Baulch). The GIF files for these symbols provided in the distribution were produced expressly for use with GPSMan, with some by Brian Baulch. It is recognized that both these images and the set of symbols can be improved and any help will be appreciated.
