Debian GIS GPS packages

foxtrotGPS is a map and GPS application. By default, it uses maps from OpenStreetMap. The available features include downloading and displaying tiled maps, recording GPS tracks, automatic map centering, storing points of interest, geocoding photos, setting waypoints, monitoring heartrate via Bluetooth, planning travel routes and finding travel routes using external services on the Internet based on OpenStreetMap.

GPSBabel converts waypoints, tracks, and routes from one format to another, whether that format is a common mapping format like Delorme, Streets and Trips, or even a serial upload or download to a GPS unit such as those from Garmin and Magellan.

GPSBabel supports dozens of data formats and will be useful for tasks such as geocaching, mapping, and converting from one GPS unit to another. Among the interesting formats it supports are several GPS devices via a serial link, various PDA-based mapping programs, and various Geocaching data formats.

Among others GPSBabel supports the following formats:

CSV, Custom CSV DNA, EasyGPS Binary, Fugawi, Garmin serial, Geocaching.com loc, GPSDrive, GPX, Holux, IGC, Magellan serial, Magellan SD, Mapopolis.Com Mapconverter, Mapsource, Maptech, Microsoft Streets and Trips, NIMA/GNIS Geographic Names, NMEA sentences, OziExplorer, Tab-separated data, Topo by National Geographic, xcsv

The gpsd service daemon can monitor one or more GPS devices connected to a host computer, making all data on the location and movements of the sensors available to be queried on TCP port 2947.

With gpsd, multiple GPS client applications can share access to devices without contention or loss of data. Also, gpsd responds to queries with a format that is substantially easier to parse than the different standards emitted by GPS devices.

This also includes common tools ubxtool and gpsctl for device configuration of the local hardware as well as a ntpshmmon to check generated refclock data.

This package contains auxiliary tools and example clients for monitoring, testing, latency-profiling, device configuration and simulating gpsd.

GPS Manager (GPSMan) はユーザフレンドリな環境で GPS データの準備、調査および 編集を行える GPS データのグラフィカルマネージャです。GPSMan は Garmin と Lowrance の受信機を用いた通信およびリアルタイムログをサポートしており、また、 あらゆる GPS 受信機からの NMEA 0183 に関するリアルタイムログ情報を 受け取ることができます。

GPStrans allows a user with a Garmin GPS receiver to upload and download waypoints, routes, almanac (satellite orbit elements), and track routes.

Convert GPS or GPX file to ESRI/Shape file. Include the tools gps2shp and gpx2shp. These are very useful when using collected GPS points with existing GIS tools like qgis and GRASS.

Marble は KDE アプリケーション向けの汎用の地図ウィジェットおよびフレーム ワークです。Marble ウィジェットは地球を球状に表示しますが、ハードウェアアク セラレーションは必要ありません。最小の地理データ一式を同梱しているので、イ ンターネット接続がなくても利用できます。

本パッケージは KDE 教育モジュールの一部です。

MTKBabel is a command line program to operate the i-Blue 747 GPS data logger. It should work also with other GPS devices based on the MediaTek MTK chipset. For instance the Holux M-241 GPS data logger, the Holux M-1200E, as well as the 747 A+ GPS Trip Recorder, are also known to work.

The main features are:

• Command line interface
• Save data log in GPX and raw binary format
• If required retrieve all the data, also the old one being overlapped
• Change logging criteria: time, distance, speed
• Change log format
• START/STOP logging
• Set OVERLAP or STOP method on memory full
• Erase the internal memory

Navit is a car navigation system with routing engine.

Its modular design is capable of using vector maps of various formats for routing and rendering of the displayed map. It's even possible to use multiple maps at a time.

The GTK+ or SDL user interfaces are designed to work well with touch screen displays. Points of Interest of various formats are displayed on the map.

The current vehicle position is either read from gpsd or directly from NMEA GPS sensors.

The routing engine not only calculates an optimal route to your destination, but also generates directions and even speaks to you using speech-dispatcher.

The Debian packaging for navit doesn't provide any map. To see, where you can get maps from, see http://wiki.navit-project.org/index.php/Main_Page#Maps.

This package contains the GTK+ GUI plugin.

OBDII is a standard for getting diagnostic information from your car. The main tool, obdgpslogger, is a command-line tool to log that data, with your gps position, to a sqlite database. Provided alongside are various tools used to convert logs to formats such as CSV or Google Earth KML. Also contained in the package is an OBDII and ELM327 simulator, obdsim, that uses plugins to generate data.

OpenBmap is a free and open map of wireless communicating objects (e.g. cellular antenna, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth). It provides tools to mutualize data, create and access this map.

The purpose of this software is to log GSM data, together with GPS coordinate. The result can be sent to their website, in order to build a free database. They store GPS quality, speed, GSM signal strength, etc. to keep a high quality of data.

This package provides a versatile tool for GPS maps in GeoTiff format as well as Garmin's img vector map format. QLandkarteGT is the successor of QLandkarte. Among various improvements (e.g. 2D/3D map rendering and reduced resource demands) the major difference is its device-independent architecture.

Additionally, QLandkarteGT serves as a frontend to the GDAL tools, to make georeferencing of scanned maps feasible for users. In contrast to similar tools (e.g. QGis) its straightforward interface is especially suited for non-scientific users.

This package provides a versatile tool for GPS maps in GeoTiff format as well as Garmin's img vector map format. You can also view and edit your GPX tracks. QMapShack is the successor of QLandkarteGT.

Main features:

• Use of several workspaces.
• Use several maps on a workspace.
• Handle data project-oriented.

gpscorrelate は、デジタル写真画像の GPS (Global Positioning System) 情報に 関連した EXIF (Exchangeable Image File Format) フィールド (例: GPSLatitude, GPSLongitude, GPSAltitude など) を設定します。これらのフィールドの設定処理 は "補正" と呼ばれています。

補正処理の入力は JPEG 画像一式と GPX (GPS Exchange Format) フォーマットによ る GPS データの組み合わせで構成されます。

写真を撮った瞬間の GPS データが (1 秒単位の精度で) 利用できる場合は、GPS データは無修正で EXIF フィールドに格納されます。利用できない場合は、写真撮 影前と撮影後の GPS データを線形補間した値を利用できます。

Viking aims to be easy to use, yet powerful in accomplishing a wide variety of GPS related tasks. It uses a hierarchical layering system to organize GPS data, maps, and other layer types with spatial data, such as coordinate lines.

Some of the things you can use Viking for are:

• Uploading and downloading waypoints, tracks to/from GPS.
• Realtime GPS tracking and track recording.
• Import and export of gpx files.
• Preparing tracks and waypoints for trips using maps from services such as OpenStreetmap and Terraserver. You only need to upload the data to your GPS before you leave. The maps together with your tracks and waypoints can also be printed and used during the trip.
• After trips, tracks and waypoints from GPS can be downloaded, stored, managed and reused in later trips.
• Analyzing OHV and hiking trips, understanding where you went and how far you were from something.
• Making waypoints and tracks to follow to easily get someplace you've never been before or don't have GPS data for but Terraserver maps exist for it.
• Making maps with coordinate lines.
• Analyzing speed at different places, adding waypoints where you forgot to mark one but did slow down or stop.
