Hi all,
I have been listening for a while on the list, and managed to get
Xastir running nicely (after a fresh install) on my PowerBook (PPC
CPU) running Mac OS X 10.4.9 (kernel Darwin 8.9.0 if its important) by
installing it from Darwin ports (following
http://www.xastir.org/wiki/index.php/Darwinports steps).
From the Darwin steps, I can't tell if it gives GPS support. The
startup of Xastir gives:
oberena:~ Bernard$ /usr/local/bin/xastir
Built-in map types:
gnis USGS GNIS Datapoints
map APRSdos Maps
map WinAPRS/MacAPRS/X-APRS Maps
pdb PocketAPRS Maps
Support for these additional map types has been compiled in:
geo Image Map (ImageMagick/GraphicsMagick library, many
formats allowed)
geo URL (Internet maps via libcurl library)
shp ESRI Shapefile Maps (Shapelib library)
tif USGS DRG Geotiff Topographic Maps (libgeotiff/libproj)
xpm X Pixmap Maps (XPM library)
tab MapInfo TAB
mid MapInfo MID
mif MapInfo MIF
ddf Spatial Data Transfer Standard (SDTS)
rt1 US Census Bureau TIGER/Line
s57 International Hydrographic Organization (IHO) S-57
dgn MicroStation DGN

No DBFAWK signature for Europe/europe.shp! Using default.
No DBFAWK signature for Europe/uk.shp! Using default.
No DBFAWK signature for World/world.shp! Using default.
which doesn't really tell me about GPS support. So I am guessing it doesn't.
Can anyone point me in the direction of how to get support for my
serial GPS (connected via a Keyspan Serial-USB converter). Its a
Garmin eTrex model (the old yellow cased, monochrome display).
thanks in advance.
