It supports GPS maps in +GeoTiff format as well as Garmin's img vector map format. Additional it is the +PC side front end to QLandkarte M, a moving map application for mobile devices. +And it fills the gap Garmin leaves in refusing to support Linux. QLandkarte GT +is the proof that writing portable applications for Unix, Windows and OSX is +feasible with a minimum of overhead. No excuses! + +QLandkarte GT does replace the original QLandkarte with a much more flexible +architecture. It's not limited to a map format or device. Thus if you think your +Magellan GPS or other should be supported, join the team. + +Additionally it is a front end to the GDAL tools, to make georeferencing scanned +maps feasible for the normal user. Compared to similar tools like QGis, it's +target users are more on the consumer side than on the scientific one. +QLandkarte GT might not let you select every possible feature of the GDAL tools, +but it will simplify their use to the demands of most users. + +WWW: http://www.qlandkarte.org/ |
