Re: installing on Ubuntu

Thanks Ross, maybe I'll give it a try. Did so some months ago following
what looked like an earlier version and it was certainly not easy. Now,
I was installing onto kubuntu then and lots of the undocumented problems
seemed to relate to things Gnome may put there. I started keeping a list
of the problems but soon gave up! But did get it working.

It really is a very complicated install. Fine for people actively
working on the project (thanks Guys !) but maybe too much for people
like me who would like a play with GPSDrive occasionally. My laptop is a
work tool 99% of its time. For example, I don't really want postgres
installed and running by default just to get OSM. OSM is cool but does
not show the map content I want to see. The earlier versions of GPSDrive
that needed only PNG images, easily made from ecw maps was great but a
bit buggy.

Anyway, thanks for your time, please don't see my comments as
complaints, far from it. Its important the developers of something as
great as GPSDrive get some feedback from "ordinary users" as well as
close team members.

And it is a great project !
