Hello List,
I will have to replace my car's GPS device soon. Could anyone recommend a brand/model that is linux-friendly (and current) ? By that I mean:
- maps can be updated from linux (or without a computer) - POIs can be uploaded and downloaded from linux
Thanks in advance for sharing your experiences.
Start by adding this repo. There are things there in addition to what comes with the standard distro: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Application:/Geo/ There is some Garmin support on Linux. Like QLandkarte or mkgmap. I don't use them and thus cannot comment. But they claim to work with Garmin receivers. Maybe there is ither software in this repo that indicates support for some other consumer gps model. We use Trimble, Applanix and OxTS. But then again we use our own software, and don't use waypoints (high end receivers seldom do waypoints). -- Roger Oberholtzer OPQ Systems / Ramböll RST Ramböll Sverige AB Krukmakargatan 21 P.O.
