linux nav programs
 

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

Ther answer is NO! There's GPSPro for the AppleMac. That's it.

There is/was a program called mxmap by a company call Mayko. They don't
answer the call to www.mayko.com and I've never used the program.

So take this information as worth nothing, probably.

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.

Probably not a lot of OSS developers into boating, I don't know of any
sea-navigation programs either. But there are some programs for mapping out
open gateways when wardriving. An interface to the GPS data is also pretty
old already in the form of gpsd. If you send me a gps I might be able to
dig up more though :-)

have a good search on freshmeat.net if you didn't do that already.

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.

Regards,

David

Get, install and learn the software "Wine". It is a windoze emulator.

I'd agree with the windows emulator. VMWare can do the same thing.
For general GIS there is G.R.A.S.S. which is a full fledged GIS
developed originally by the government and then taken over by various
universities, but that's a lot more complicated than what you want to
tackle.

If I am going to run a Windoze prgram I think I will just stick with
Windoze and not bother converting to Linux so I can emulate Windoze.
