Hi All,
I have been asking about running my electronic chart software, a Win
prog, under Mandriva.
The following extract was some bad news that I received:
I don't know SeaTTY but I do know C-Map and you aren't going

to get it running.
Most WIN gps-software needs to access gps-devices directly
and can't do so on virtual or emulated devices.
Can anyone shed any light here, any experience with car systems and Linux??
The software is C-Map www.C-Map. com.
It uses a USB GPS receiver.
Help!

I had a look at the C-Map web site, but I'm none the wiser for it ;-)
I've got a GPS, which I failed to get working under Windows on VMWare. I
haven't tried it with Wine, and to be honest, I didn't try very hard
with VMWare. I wanted to get track data off it, to convert to GPX for
use with OpenStreetMap [1]. My GPS logs to an SD card, so I just plug
the SD card into a reader and use GPSBabel to read/convert the files to
GPX.
So, I think the short answer is, I can't offer direct help, but
depending on what you want to do with your GPS, it might be worth
looking at GPSBabel.

Russ,
I'll take a look at those.
I need the C-Map prog to see the NMEA data from the GPS.
It stops me hitting the rocks!

I can see that being useful ;-) Am I right in thinking that you have a
laptop on board connected to the GPS, and that you need to have
real-time monitoring of where you are?
If so, it might be worth asking on the OpenStreetMap mailing list. Quite
a few people on there use Linux, and they know a lot about GPS units.

Yes Russ, Laptop on board for RTTY weather info and elec Nav s'ware.
Chart is on screen with boat pos, course and speed in real time.
Data from GPS Rx via USB port.

In that case, I'd definitely ask on the OpenStreetMap mailing list [1]
and/or IRC channel [2]. I know there are people on the mailing list that
use laptops to record where they go when driving, but I can't remember
whether or not they were running Linux.
I know that GPSBabel can read NMEA - my GPS records logs in NMEA format,
and I use GPSBabel to convert them to GPX. If it can talk to your
device, then it might be just what you're looking for.

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 :-)
