GPSylon Description

GPSylon may track your path, download maps, and load overlays (e.g. shape files) from expedia servers. GPSylon is able to show maps downloaded from the expedia map servers. It may connect to a gps device and track your position on the maps. At the moment, it is able to read gpsdata in the NMEA standard from a serial gps device, a file or a gps daemon across a network (available at the gpsd project page). The main feature is the display of various maps. GPSylon allows the user to navigate around like in a digital atlas. It shows maps of different scales, so missing maps of one scale do not result in a black screen, but show the next larger scale. See the screenshot section for an image. GPSylon allows the download of a single map or for a given location or for multiple maps in a given rectangular area from mapblast or expedia map servers. In the download mouse mode the user may choose a single map or by dragging a rectangle with the mouse, the user may choose to download maps for a larger area. This functionality allows the user to download maps in a given scale for a larger area. Please only download maps you need and be careful not to download thousands of maps, as the map providers will discontinue their service when it is misused! GPSylon uses the open source library openmap for various cartographic things.
