NavGator, a multi OS charting program
I’ll characterize NavGator Mariner, above, as a work in process. I couldn’t find many normal ECS features, only rasters are supported, and the chart management is crude to say the least. What’s interesting, though, is that NavGator is written in Java so that it can run on multiple operating systems. So far that means Windows, Linux, and Sun Solaris, but others will “soon be released”. The developer also has a Pro version “designed to be the core of the ‘glass cockpit’, where all electronic functions are integrated into a seamless, highly reliable, high performance environment.” The full screen shot is here (also showing off the full 1440 x 900 pixel goodness of my new laptop LCD).
Ben,
I tried getting Navgator to work on SuSe Linux and a couple of other distributions last year, but was never really successful. I for one would be really excited to see a fully featured Linux navigation suite that is fairly easy to install. Here is my post about that situation: http://www.eliboat.com/?p=309
