SentrySoft is pleased to announce that GPS Sentry V1.6 is available for immediate download. Version 1.6 has the following changes:

V1.5

. Time is not gathered from 3 different NMEA sentences rather than just the $GPGLL sentence. Some users with GPSs that did not output the $GPGLL were not displaying the fix time.
. Added a visual indicator of GPS Disabled and No Fix available. Clear display when GPS is Disabled.
. Fixed bug in calculation of position in GML log format (same bug as HDDD fixed in V1.3)
. Added Copy Location to Clipboard function. Copies location and time in current display format to clipboard.
. Fixed help file issues.


V1.6


. Extensive changes to Options Dialog. Now it is implemented as a Tabbed Property Sheet with tabs for GPS/Display, Screens, Log, Registration and About.
. Added option to disable GPS if no input seen. Time delay is set on GPS/Display tab.
. Added drop down to set GPS Baud rate. Navman 3450 needs 57600, others should be set to the NMEA standard of 4800. In any case, setting must match GPS.
. Added option to log position periodically, instead of every NMEA sentence. Option is set on Log tab.
. General refactoring of code and code cleanup.

The new version of GPS Sentry can be downloaded from http://sentry-soft.com/GPSSentry.exe. As in previous versions, this file is a fully functional evaluation copy which can be evaluated for 15 days.
