tangoGPS - Linux Links - The Linux Portal Site - Nightly (Build 20110507043313)
tangoGPS is an open source lightweight user friendly map and GPS application. It uses the gpsd daemon to obtain data from the GPS receiver. With gpsd, multiple GPS client applications can share access to devices without contention or loss of data. By default tangoGPS uses map data from the Openstreetmap project. Additionally a variety of other repositories can be easily added such as Maps-for-free and OpenAerialMap. The software is intended primarily for mobile devices. Features include: Extremely fast Attractive user interface Map scale indicator Upscaling map tiles Over-zoom Distance measuring Friend finder Full screen mode Support for Points of Interest (POIs) Support for geotagged photos Send messages via tangoGPS Route tracks - fetch a route track from three different web services with two simple clicks on the map Heart rate monitoring and logging with support for Zephyr HxM heart rate monitors Keyboard shortcuts Internationalization support Return to GPS Tools Home Page
GPSBabel - Linux Links - The Linux Portal Site - Nightly (Build 20110507043313)
GPSBabel is open source software for GPS file conversion and transfer to/from GPS units. It has a command-line interface and a graphical interface. GPSBabel converts waypoints, tracks, and routes from one format to another, whether that format is a common mapping format like Delorme, Streets and Trips, or even a serial upload or download to a GPS unit such as those from Garmin and Magellan. It also has powerful manipulation tools for such data. GPSBabel supports dozens of data formats and will be useful for tasks such as geocaching, mapping, and converting from one GPS unit to another. Among the interesting formats it supports are several GPS devices via a serial link, various PDA-based mapping programs, and various Geocaching data formats. GPSBabel is popular in the Geocaching community because it enables people with incompatible GPS units to share data. Features include: Return to GPS Tools Home Page

Open Cache Manager - Linux Links - The Linux Portal Site - Nightly (Build 20110507043313)
Open Cache Manager (OCM) is an easy to use program for managing your geocaches, with the goal of being the Linux equivalent to GSAK. OCM integrates with GPSBabel to support most GPS devices. This software allows you to organize and store geocaching information in one or more databases. You can use filters to search databases, create bookmark lists of caches, keep notes on caches, and store additional waypoints. Features include: Return to GPS Tools Home Page
HTML on your cache page
What is HTML? Basic HTML - fonts, links to other pages and sites and inserting images More Advanced HTML - tables, lists and bullets BB code for cache logs What is HTML? HTML or Hypertext Markup Language is a code that web pages are written in and then displayed in your web browser. Adding your own basic HTML code is however quite easy. HTML code is entered using tags. Basic HTML code Below is an example of what the text will look like and on the right the actual code you type in. Horizontal Rule You may have noticed in the above examples they are separated by a dark red line across the page, like this: This is a 'horizontal rule' using the code <hr> You can change the colour and the width across the page using these codes: <hr color="green"> horizontal rule (hr) full width of the page colour green (you can select any suitable colour) <hr color="green" width="50%"> hr width of 50% of the page (you can have any % value)
QLandkarte - Linux Links - The Linux Portal Site - Nightly (Build 20110507043313)
QLandkarte GT is a versatile tool for GPS maps in GeoTiff format as well as Garmin's img vector map format. QLandkarteGT is the successor of QLandkarte. Among various improvements (e.g. 2D/3D map rendering and reduced resource requirements) the major difference is its device-independent architecture, which is not limited to Garmin devices anymore. Additionally, it is the PC-side front end to QLandkarte M, a moving map application for mobile devices QLandkarte GT serves as a frontend to the GDAL tools, to make georeferencing of scanned maps feasible for users. In contrast to similar tools (e.g. Features include: Return to GPS Tools Home Page
Navit - Linux Links - The Linux Portal Site - Nightly (Build 20110507043313)
Navit is a car navigation system with routing engine. Its modular design is capable of using vector maps of various formats for routing and rendering of the displayed map. It's even possible to use multiple maps at a time. The GTK+ or SDL user interfaces are designed to work well with touch screen displays. The current vehicle position is either read from gpsd or directly from NMEA GPS sensors. The routing engine not only calculates an optimal route to your destination, but also generates directions and even speaks to you using speech-dispatcher. Features include: Can read the vehicle's current position: directly from a file from gpsd (local or remote) from upd server (friends tracking) Calculates an optimal route to a destination using a Dijkstra algorithm Generates directions Speaks to you using espeak Supports the following map formats: OpenStreetMaps Australian OSM extract European maps Garmin maps US/Tiger maps Other maps Speaks 49 languages Return to GPS Tools Home Page

GpsDrive - Linux Links - The Linux Portal Site - Nightly (Build 20110507043313)
GpsDrive is a vehicle (car, bike, ship, plane) map-based navigation system that displays the current position provided by an NMEA capable GPS receiver on a zoomable map. Maps can be downloaded from different map providers or rendered on-the-fly using the OpenStreetMap dataset. The maps are autoselected for best resolution depending on your position and can be downloaded from the Internet. Speech output is supported via the "speech dispatcher" software.
