This is a copy of conn2m.py initially created by Markus Demleitner (http://katze.tfiu.de/projects/conn2m/)
conn2m.py is a program intended to exchange data with an O-Synce navi2move GPS device.
It's written in Python3 and was developed solely by serial protocol reverse engineering.
conn2m.py was originally intended to enable me as user of a free operating system to interact with my device and to save me from the subjection to the piece of proprietary software shipped with it, respectively. It then evolved into a program substituting the complete set of device-related functionality provided by the manufacturer's software, including the remote setting of some behaviour also configurable through the user interface on the device itself.
There is, however, no route planning functionality. Use your favourite route planning program instead, save the route as gpx file and upload it using conn2m.py's send-route mode.
conn2m.py features include:
- downloading of recorded tracks from the device
- downloading of a previously uploaded route
- uploading of a local route gpx file to the device
- downloading of recorded waypoints (POIs)
- uploading of a local waypoint (POI) gpx file
- setting of general device configuration like power saving etc.
- setting of track recording configuration
- inclusion of bitmap data for some special characters like the german umlauts in route files which are not included when using the manufacturer's software. It's in principle possible to include any character with a 2-byte long utf-16 representation. If you have problems with any characters, let me know.

Although a lot of testing has been done and my device did never complain, it can't be excluded that using this software may cause permanent damage to your GPS device or even render it unusable.
The program should run with python >= 3.0. Additional python dependencies are the following:
- python3-serial
- python3-crcmod
- python3-gdal
