[Xastir-Dev] scripts/track-get.pl not working

[J. Lance Cotton]

I just tried GPSman and it works fine. I looked at the code and it looks 
like it uses 9600 bps for serial data, so I guess nothing has changed 
with the serial speed...

I'll do some more testing and research and see what I come up with. Just 
wanted to toss this out in case someone else has seen it.
