anyone found a linux chart plotting program?

[Birdseye]

Now I've got most routine things running OK on linux (bar the printer.....grrrh!) I'm beginning to look at non routine software like chart plotters.

Has anyone come across one yet? The introduction of Vista makes the search more urgent.

or run seaclear on wine. Reported to work fine

Have you tried PClinuxOS? The CUPS printing interface is excellent.

I'd be interested in a chart plotter program too.

Am thinking of writing my own GPS configuration software in Kdevelop but need to get up to speed on KDE Qt first as I currently only write for ncurses.

I've never had a problem with CUPS under Kubuntu, it worked out of the box with my HP USB printer

Is Simon of Adastra on these forums?

As Brendan suggests, wine is the way forward. Wine HQ. New versions come out regularly so it is worth installing the latest as the version shipped with most distributions can be relatively old.

For gpsconfig on linux try gpsman . You will need to have tcl/tk installed.

Or if you re really rich try OLEX, intergrated plotter, sea bed mapping etc...
