Thanks Russ,
I'll look at street map idea.
I have also just found a Linux nav system at
http://www.justmagic.com/Olex.html
It doesn't look like freeware but i have no price details yet,
probably have to sell the boat to buy it!
What do you use GPS for?
I have a Garmin StreetPilot i3 [1] that I use to stop myself getting
lost, and a Scytex NaviGPS [2] that I use to log where I go, so that I
can make add the data to OpenStreetMap, and to get postcode data for
Free The Postcode [3]. Most of the data that OpenStreetMap has for the
area near my house [4] came from my NaviGPS :-)
