Does anyone use any kind of GPS software in Linux with a GPS > device? What do you use? That would have been useful for me this last week when I took my family on a 2000 mile (eight states) trip. Got lost twice -- somewhere in Missouri near Jamesport and then around Dallas, Texas. Here are some links: http://opensourcegis.org/ http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/FAQ (outside of USA) http://www.ncc.up.pt/gpsman/ http://gpspoint.dnsalias.net/gpspoint2/ http://gpsdrive.kraftvoll.at/ http://gpsd.berlios.de/ (see the applications that use it) http://www.aac.uc.pt/~seabra/ http://www.mgix.com/gps3d/ Now I need to look to find what hardware is needed that I can plug into a laptop (like PCMCIA or PCCARD) and where to get the free databases. --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change you mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
