Description: Car navigation system
GpsDrive is a car (bike, ship, plane) navigation system.
GpsDrive displays your position provided from your NMEA capable GPS
receiver on a zoomable map, the map file is autoselected depending
of the position and preferred scale. Speech output is supported if the
"festival" software is running. The maps are autoselected for best
resolution depending of your position. All Garmin GPS reveiver with a
serial output should be usable, also other GPS receiver which supports
NMEA protocol.
