Linux GPS/NAV --- GPSDrive?

**sall** · 05-01-2011, 10:23 AM

I am planning on building a custom Linux distro and have not really came across many options in the Linux world to use for GPS/NAV.

Is GPSDrive the only feasible software to use with Linux for this purpose? If not what are some alternatives? TIA!

Navit is a feasible alternative. I found it painful to setup but it's working well now.

There is one more,Polnav from Polstar
It can be used with Linux or Windows as can be seen in <a href="http://www.polstargps.com">here</a>

bandung_steve,

where were you able to get Polnav to try out? I went to thier site and couldn't find a download/purchase link anywhere...

Nasa,please check PM,download link for trial version

I used to be an active map developer for Indonesian community maps.
I am still in touch with some senior mappers,that's how i got a trial version

You guys might want to check this sites out.
I am ordering from Taiwan,however it will take a month (Chinese New Year there)
Hopefully,there are some interest in this gps application,so somebody here in MP3Car would be able to integrate it
onto RR,CF or even Linux one.
I don't know how?
