| | | Launching GPSMan |
If GPSMan was installed from a
Debian
or RPM
package, just call
gpsman from a shell or from the
applications menu of the window manager (if it was set up by the
package installation program).
When using a command line, like the Unix/Linux shell,
call gpsman.tcl or use the
shell scriptgpsman.sh
(it must be configured first).
In this situation there could be a single argument with
the path to the serial or USB port device,
or the call has the formgpsman [OPTIONS] start travel [INTERVAL]
that will be parsed as if in command-line mode, but
then launches the graphical interface (this will only work with Garmin
receivers).
In the case of a single argument, a USB port device
can be given with the prefix usb=, as in
usb=/dev/ttyUSB0, to enforce the use of the Garmin USB
protocol when this is not the default protocol.
In other systems, execute
gpsman.tcl with
the Tcl/Tk wish program.
