Hi, I am also interested in Lazarus for GIS and GPS Navigation Software development I think we have to TMapCanvas component for lazarus to render, trackway, shapefile, raster, etc. Don't use OpenGL, use the proper TMapCanvas component so you can render and overlayed layers - vector and raster.

You get some idea from RoadMap — A Car Navigation System for Linux, UNIX and Others http://roadmap.sourceforge.net/index.html Probably you can use their map format for your project. Have a look at GISImage.pas for map render and (gps data??).

If you are interested, you could help in testing/correction the instructions. Do you already have PR1.2 ? This looks promising! In a few weeks time I hope to have finished my current projects and have time to setup an environment to test. John --
