[Viking-devel] Roadster

[Evan B. <gt...@gm...>]

Just wanted to let the list know about a program whose goals are 
actually similar to Viking's but starting from a different angle:

http://linuxadvocate.org/projects/roadster/

Roadster is a mapping program (uses TIGER data) for GNOME which intends 
to have GPS support, and will do other nice things like find addresses 
and directions, which are things I see Viking doing in the long-term. 
Right now it evidently successfully shows map like that in the 
screenshot though. I haven't actually gotten it to work (can't get it to 
read the map data right) but it seems that it will be a very useful 
program when/if it gets "ready for the masses"...
