RE: Linux connection with Lowrance Airmap 100?

There _used_to_be_ a whole bunch of users
doing moving map stuff on sailboats, with source
code and everything to do the standard NMEA
protocol...what most of the gps boxes output,
it's trivial, one way, ascii based.  You shouldn't
have to do much work though.  Heck I bet perl or
tcl could take it apart and the use tk to make
a nice display under it....hmmm.

Here's some java stuff

Subject: Linux connection with Lowrance Airmap 100?


Hello,

I have just purchased a Lowrance Airmap 100 with IMS CityMap CD
and was wandering if anyone is aware of Linux software which can
talk to this box in order to:

1. transfer waypoints/routes/traks to/from the PC
2. create maps
3. edit Jepp database

So far I only found the gpstrans package which is specific for Garmin.

Thanks,

--Amos
