mainnav-reader - version 0.5.1 - readme

This tiny tool reads out and deletes tracklog data from mainnav gps devices
under linux. It can speak to your device either via USB or Bluetooth.

Requirements:
 * python 2.5 or 2.6
 * pySerial (python-serial on some distros)


Installation:
Download the latest version, extract the archive and run as root:

 * python setup.py install
 
Informations about installing on MacOSX can be found on the mailinglist.


Usage:
Run the program via the command-line by typing in:
 * mainnav-reader

I suggest you start with:
 * mainnav-reader --help

To test the connection, you can type in:
 * mainnav-reader --verbose /dev/ttyUSB0
  Or, if the GPS device is connected via Bluetooth (Note: Be sure you have a
  connection to the serial-port prepared):
 * mainnav-reader --verbose /dev/rfcomm0

The simplest way to download the tracklogs is:
 * mainnav-reader --download /dev/ttyUSB0
  Or for short:
 * mainnav-reader -d /dev/ttyUSB0
