Version History

1.1.1	5-October-2005	Bug fix for names with special chars.
	Uses XML entities for <, >, &, and " in waypoint names and track names.
1.1	17-August-2005	Improved compatibility with MapSource and other apps.
	Waypoint export writes XML tags in a different order that is required by MapSource 6.8. Waypoint symbols are exported as meaningful symbol names. Several GPS applications preserve most of the iQue's waypoint symbols on import.
1.0	14-September-2004	Bug fixes and improvements based on user feedback.
	No longer crashes on tracks with more than 2048 points, e.g. the active track log. Can name GPX output files based on date of HotSync operation. Slightly faster, thanks to better buffering of XML output.
1.0b2	7-September-2004	First public release.
	Changed name of GPX file to avoid space in filename. Removed XML comments with iQue-specific meta-information in exported tracks.
1.0b1	15-June-2004	Not released.
	Feature complete version for personal testing.
