About this page

GpsDrive's wiki is down so in addition to information about how to use the d.out.gpsdrive module, this page will temporarily include some GDAL and datasource tips not directly related to GRASS. Once the page is fully (re)composed the GpsDrive specific content will move from here into a README file in the GpsDrive SVN. Sorry for any inconvinence, --HB

About GpsDrive

"GpsDrive is a car (bike, ship, plane) navigation system. GpsDrive displays your position provided from your GPS receiver on a zoomable map. The maps are autoselected for best resolution depending of your position and can be downloaded from the Internet. Speech output is supported if the "festival" software is running. All GPS receivers supported by gpsd should be usable.
GpsDrive is written in C with use of the GTK+ toolkit under the GPL license, and runs with Linux, Mac OSX, and FreeBSD."
