Gaia is an open 3D earth viewer (formerly an attempt to reverse engineer
famous Google Earth).
It features a GPS layer which is capable of displaying route and current
location for any NMEA-speaking device. Also works as gpsd client,
allowing you to work with almost any GPS device either locally or via
network.
notes:
- they were reports of occasionnal crashes on some machines but that should
not happen if running a very current system (please report if this should
happen again)
