Changes for version 0.13

  • added support for newer Garmin devices: eTrex Venture and emap
  • added optional /bin/stty support to Garmin::Serial
  • no dependencies to (even standard) modules like POSIX and FileHandle in Garmin::Serial --- useful for devices with small memory footprints (e.g. handhelds)
  • more constants in Garmin::Constant: symbols, display types, colors, waypoint types etc.
  • changed parameters of Garmin::upload_data - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE!
  • still in construction: new module GPS::Base serves as a factory class for GPS::Garmin, GPS::NMEA and may be extended for other modules
  • removed unnecessary Exporter/Autoloader calls
  • whitespace fixes in source code
