GpsDrive is a computer program designed to act as a vehicle navigation system. GpsDrive displays your position provided from an NMEA capable GPS receiver on a zoomable map. The map file is automatically selected depending on the position and preferred scale. Currently maps used by GPSdrive are raster images, but efforts are being made to utilize vector data from projects such as OpenStreetMap. Speech output is supported if the festival software is running. All Garmin GPS receivers with a serial output should be usable, also other GPS receivers which support the NMEA protocol. GpsDrive is written in C with use of the GTK+ graphic toolkit and runs with GNU/Linux and FreeBSD. It is available under the GNU General Public License.
