Some of you know that I've been playing with the Raspberry Pi computer since shortly after they came out.

This past weekend I decided to see what GPS mapping software was available and I found " Viking ":



This is really pretty good stuff. You do need an internet connection, but you can save the maps you download for offline use and there are some very nice maps available.

You can print maps, create tracks, measure distance, display GPS data, upload/download data to your GPS, and quite a bit more.

I'm going to use it to plan my next trip. I'll create my route, print my map, and upload the route to my GPS and I'll let you all know how it works out...
