Hi,

I have further updated the v.in.garmin script in 6.3cvs now.

WRT import with gardump from the garmin-utils package (www.snafu.org),

* you can now import tracks and track points into a 3D vector map
* updated to work with newer GPS hardware (tested with a Garmin GPS V)
   gardump does not support USB-only GPSs, try v.in.gpsbabel for those.
   gpstrans does not support newer serial GPSs, use gardump for those.
* add'l symbol/route data also downloaded & put into the table

please help test if you have a Garmin GPS, as there's a lot of thick
awk gook in the script. Everything seems to be working, just the chance
of a typo or untested combination of options to worry about. (The sooner
v.in.garmin, v.in.gpsbabel, and d.vect.thematic are rewritten in another
language, the better)
