Are there any Linux nav programs for boats?
I have been unable to find anything like Fugawi for Linux.

I'm not sure whether these meet your requirements as I've never used or
even seen Fugawi but I do know Linux and clearly the poster who
responded with the emphatic 'no' is mistaken, I think.

Nice to list some Java apps. The question was in regard to Linux as I
recall and there are no maritime navigation software say like Maptech or
Nobeltec etc..

So my answer in regard to No is so. I have looked for several years now
and can say there are no Linux-based maritime navigation packages out
there. Such companies as Nobeltec have stated that there is no market.

Perhaps such companies that produce maritime navigation could look to
Java. However as none of these companies have the interest it's unlikely
to happen. Though I wish the would.

David
