hi!
I am primarily a Mac user these days, but a long-time linux user also.
A Red Hat kinda guy I am, having F9 under VMWare Fusion, and
F8 x86_64 at work.
I would really like to see more Linux possibilities for a GPS user,
and the current trend for umpc laptops like already posted EeePC
makes it all more and more interesting.
My frequent use case is mountain biking, so I would like to be able to
- track my bike trips, convert to .kml/kmz to share and
show over Google Maps
- design a route with waypoints by clicking on a map on a linux workstation,
upload that to a GPSr and pedal away
Sophisticated geocaching functionality would of course be very welcome.
Also, using different freely obtainable map content like openstreetmap.org
etc. would be interesting
Not a coder by any means, but I am interested in all GPS-related
Linux development, and I could consider contributing to open source
projects wherever my skill set and schedule allows.
(commenting on feature set :-D, testing on Fedora, localisation (.fi))
