Requirements: Upload track data to the gps device, download teh track data . The first functionality is when I am planning to follow a particular route, the second one is more like where have I been wandering. So Google Earth need to be integrated, I believe it works out of the box in Linux , a little search tells me that I need gpsbabel and glandkarte
Btw do you see the screen shot, its one of the desktop candys "now also available in Linux" . It basically gives u a snapshot when you are toggling between windows using alt+tab.. Ohh one more thing , I got a new keyboard and mouse, my old ones have retired from service after a very productive 5 years of service, they will now be eligible for subsidized housing under the kitchen cabinet and are also free to join any other companies. And the new ones are Microsoft hardware at least here $soft is pretty standard they work seamlessly with Linux.
Will be posting updates once I get these configured.
