| About RoadMap |
A Car Navigation System for Linux and UNIX
RoadMap is a program that displays a map of the streets, tracks the position provided by a NMEA-compliant GPS receiver, identifies the street matching this GPS position and announces the name of the crossing street at the next intersection. A rudimentary trip feature allows RoadMap to display some basic navigation information. The map files used by RoadMap are generated from the TIGER files (US Census Bureau) and the Digital Charts of the World.
Requirements
This application requires GTK+ version 1.2.x.
Other dependencies include: Use flite (Festival Lite) for voice generation.
Use gpsd for the connection to the GPS receiver.
Optionally use shapelib to import the "Digital Maps of the World". Build requires ImageMagick and aptconvert. |
| Latest Version: 1.0.12 |
|
This version includes some GUI improvements (the user can redefine the toolbar & menu) and bug fixes. Improved maps are now available on the web site, which were built from the TIGER 2004se files.
