-Test version of 405 download
-Needs lots of work!
-
-Usage:
-
-Put 405 in pairing mode
-./gant -f paul -a auth405
-
-This gives your garmin a name of "paul" and an auth file of "auth405"
-The 405 will ask you if you wish to pair with "paul". Obviously
-you might want to use a different name :)
-
-Download with:
-./gant -nza auth405 > output
-
-or -Dnza if you want lots of debug output
-
-It doesn't seem to be very reliable at starting the download and
-I haven't investigated why yet. So, if it doesn't start downloading
-press ctrl-c and try again. I find it helps to take the watch out
-of power save mode.
-
-If you've already downloaded the data, then you'll need to set
-"force send" to yes on the watch.
-
-Compare output with .TCX file produce by windows ANT Agent.
-
-Patch gant.c
-Send me patches!
-
-Paul

+.SH "EXAMPLE 2"
+ HOWTO USE gant
+
+1. plugin your ANT+ stick
+2. the system will load the kernel module "cp210x"
+3. to find out what ttyUSB device is used run
+.LP
+.RS
+# dmesg|grep "cp210x converter"
+.RE
+.RS
+[...] cp210x 3-1:1.0: cp210x converter detected
+.RE
+.RS
+[...] usb 3-1: cp210x converter now attached to ttyUSB3
+.RE
+.LP
+In this case you have to use the optione "-d 3". If it is
+ttyUSB0 then you don't need the -d option because 0 is the
+default
+4. put the watch into paring mode (menu -> configuration -> ANT+ ->
+ computer -> pairing on)
+5. pair the computer with the watch ("mywatch" as name for the watch and
+ the file "auth405" as an authorization file which will be created)
+.LP
+.RS
+# gant -d 3 -f mywatch -a auth405
+.RE
+.LP
+6. download saved tracks from the watch
+.LP
+.RS
+# gant -d 3 -f mywatch -nza auth405
+.RE
+.LP
+You get the possible options with
+.LP
+.RS
+# gant -h
+.RE
+.LP
+To convert the downloaded TCX file (e.g. 2011-07-22-123456.tcx) you can use gpsbabel:
+.LP
+.RS
+# gpsbabel -t -i gtrnctr -f 2011-07-22-123456.tcx -o gpx -F 2011-07-22-123456.gpx

+.SH "DEVICES"
+Wireless ANT communications happens over a USB2ANT dongle. Under Linux
+the dongle is driven by
+.B cp210x
+kernel module, and presented to user-space as a USB serial port,
+.B /dev/ttyUSBxxx
+where
+.B xxx
+is an integer. The dongle is typically carrying the USB vendor id/product id
+pair of 0fcf/1004 or 0fcf/1008. Recent Linux systems employ
+.B udev
+to handle device nodes and permissions, thus appropriate
+.SH "FILES"
+.TP
+\fB/lib/modules/`uname \-r`/kernel/drivers/usb/serial/cp210x.ko\fR
+Kernel driver module for USB2ANT dongle.
+.TP
+.B /dev/ttyUSBxxx
+Serial device created for dongle.
+.TP
+.B $HOME/.gant
+Default authentication file.
