  Description     : GPS mapping (GeoTiff and vector) and GPSr management


This package provides a versatile tool for GPS maps in GeoTiff format as
well as Garmin's img vector map format. QLandkarteGT is the successor of
QLandkarte. Among various improvements (e.g. 2D/3D map rendering and
reduced ressource demands) the major difference is its
device-independent architecture, which is not limited to Garmin devices
anymore. Therefore, the package also does not include device drivers.
Drivers for a number of Garmin devices are available from the
<yet-to-be-determined-package-name> package.

Additionally, QLandkarteGT serves as a frontend to the GDAL tools, to
make georeferencing of scanned maps feasible for users. In contrast to
similar tools (e.g. QGis) its straightforward interface is especially
suited for non-scientific users.
