 Since you're running Ubuntu any desktop app would work, you might want
 to poke around gpsd and email the OSGeo-discuss list for ideas of other
 apps that would work. Collecting GPS points is actually fairly simple
 and could be done with a simple app written in (pick your favorite
 language) since gpsd has an api.
 


the desktop gvSIg can be installed in Ubuntu, but lacks in gps functionality

I use gpsd to activate the gps on my Ubuntu install of the u820, what I need
is an app that that can display maps and capture gps data to shape-file
(like Arcpad). OSGeo-discuss list may be the place to look, thanks for the
suggestion

[Qgis-user] gvsig mobile on ubuntu?

[Fafner]

Hi,
sorry for going off-topic asking about gvSIG Mobile here, but I havent been
granted permission to post on the gvSIG mailing list/board. Ayway, as the
question pertains to capturing GPS data for later use in Qgis it's kinda
qgis-related.

I've been using Arcpad on Windows Mobile and Windows 7 to capture GPS data.
As suggested previously by ppl on this board I've tried gvSIG Mobile on the
PDA. It worked but was sluggish due to the limited processing power of the
PDA. Now I've got an UMPC with internal GPS, and I would like to give gvSIG
Mobile another go on this much more powerful setup (Fujitsu u820). The
problem is I want to run it in Ubuntu, and gvSIG Mobile dont come in
ubuntu-flavor. There is a XP version available that should be possible to
run using wine, but it doesnt have an exe installer (only a .bat file) and
I'm not sure how to proceed with the installation. Has anyone here managed
to get gvSIG Mobile running in Ubuntu?


There are also versions of gvSIG Mobile for Maemo and Freerunner (linux
based phone distros), could one of these be made to run in Ubuntu?

thanx / Fafner
