Now I _would_ compile Xastir without GM or IM for use on a PDA... I'd try to get libproj/libgeotiff/libtiff in there as well as Shapefiles, so I'd have vector maps and topo maps well covered. Switching to a different PDA now: The stuff I've seen about Linux on a Treo doesn't look promising, as in I don't think I'm going to head that way at this time. W.R.T. Xastir-2, we'd have to add support for some simpler database for the back-end 'cuz I don't think PostgreSQL or MySQL would work well on such devices. There are simpler databases that should work for such uses though. -- Curt, WE7U.
