TerminologyUsing GPSMan in graphical modeLaunching GPSMan

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).

In other Unix or Linux systems call gpsman.tcl from the shell or use the shell scriptgpsman.sh (it must be configured first).

In these systems there could be a single argument with the path to the serial port device, or the call has the form
gpsman [OPTIONS] start travel [INTERVAL]
that will be parsed as if in command-linde mode, but then launches the graphical interface (this will only work with Garmin receivers).

In other systems, execute gpsman.tcl with the Tcl/Tk wish program.
