Tried various linux solutions with no success until I discovered Viking. Excellent GPS data interface. The maps just drop into place, creating and modifying waypoints is simple and intuitive, and the export formats work flawlessly on my Garmin. Much kudos for solid work.

Have an old eTrex Vista Hcx that I love and used MapSource with it on Windows for years even though both have been long since discontinued. Recently replaced Windows with Ubuntu 20.04 desktop, and was wondering if I'd be able to replace that old functionality in linux. Was really thinking that I wouldn't be able to. Well, after an all night long session of installing libs and compiling viking from source, (had to disable mapnix as it said it couldn't find the includes even though they are there), got viking and gpsbabel working! Even downloaded all of my tracks and waypoints from the GPS unit! I'm so happy I could cry. Thank you, and goodbye Windows.

Wonderful and useful map software. Love it. One GUI thing I'd like to see improved is reorder of layers when stacking. Dragging them right now has no effect.Reply from Viking GPS data editor and analyzer

Easy to use Can display the route and a map from openstreetmap. And one second later we can see our route on a satellite view. Great. Using Viking GPS to prepare my ways for ATV/quad. Vikinkg GPS helps me a lot to see where path are sometime not yet defined on Openstreetmap and sometime the opposite : the path we should not use because crossing the middle of a farm. Great developement. I like it very much.
