[FOSS-GPS] Route planning support added to foxtrotgps (patch included)

[Dr. Tilmann Bubeck]

Hi FoxtrotGPS,

I added a patch to foxtrotgps to allow for route planning. It extends 
foxtrotGPS to be used as a route planing tool. You can get an idea by 
looking at the attached screen shot.

You start by setting a first waypoint (WP) using the menu "ways & 
routes/add WP". Then you move the mouse to set the next waypoint using 
the same menu entry. You construct a route by adding as many waypoints 
as you like.

A route can be changed by clicking on the flag icon and choosing "delete 
WP" or by dragging a flag icon around.

If you are satisfied with the route you can save it in either GPX or 
TomTom format to be used on a navigation system. It will then build a 
route by using the selected waypoints.

This is especially usefull for motor cycle tours or people you would 
like to drive a special route.

There is code to load the GPX tour for further use afterwards.

It would be very nice to see this patch accepted into foxtrotGPS. If you 
dislike the patch, then please let me know, so that I change whatever 
you want me to do. Put my patch under whatever license you like.

Feel free to contact me for any further details.

The patch is included in the "bugs" section of foxtrotgps:

Kind regards,
  Till
