[ gpsdrive ] Nautical Maps with gpsd on ASUS eeePC -Linux

[VW Rudik]

Please clarify:  are you saying that you are able to make to make your Garmin unit recognized by the eeePC ?  If yes, what are you seeing on the eeePC ?  Have you succeeded with install of GPSD software on eeePC ?  If yes, how did you do that ?

That's a lot of questions but it has been a frustrating exercise so far when I compare it with loading/using my Fugawi navigation on other XP laptop.

  Me too. I think there are a several eeepc  users who want to adapt charts for their boating, more coming as it becomes known. Presently I use a Garmin Etrex Mariner and would like a crossover program to use charts with real time tracking.

    I am new to Linux via the micro laptop from ASUS (eeePC).  I have used 
    the NOAA free-download BSB & ENC charts with my Fugawi Windows-based 
    navigation software for 4 years.  I am trying to duplicate this on the 
    Linux (Xandros) factory pre-install on the eeePC which would 
    significantly reduce my power requirements on my sail boat.

    I am in the Toronto Canada area and would appreciate linking up with a 
    fellow boater willing to work on this and to document it for the growing 
    number of eeePC users.

    I am trying to get my eeePC to fully recognize/receive the GPS sentences 
    from my GPS-usb receiver made by Holux (G-613) for which Holux provides 
    a Linux download driver.
