[clug] GPS on Linux

[Doug Palmer]

I've been using qlandkarte-gt for a while. http://www.qlandkarte.org/
You can get free vector maps for Australia to overlay.

qlandkarte uses its own GPS drivers, so you'll need to check to see
whether the particular one you have is supported. I've only used
Garmin/serial but I get the impression that USB devices are supported.
