PC's, electronic charts & Linux anyone?
Hi all,
A friends got a boat & said friend is thinking of going electronic with the charts. The dedicated bits of equipment aren't desired (or affordable) with a laptop and or a pda being multifunctional. The software is always a. MS Windows only & b.silly money AFAIK Linux based 'Autoroute' type programs exist but has anyone experience of marine software? Googling brings up a dead link to one Linux offering which is some 2/3 years dated. I guess Wine is an option but apparantly some of these (M$) based programs use 'dongol's(?) which may cause a problem? Has anyone broken away from the flock and tried something different? (i.e. non M$ based & therefore stable...) Cheers, Mark. -- s-i-d-s-n-o-t-t a-t m-s-n d-o-t c-o-m Is a valid email address. (although I don't know why I bother to try to spam trap a 'hotmail' account....) Heyho |
