********************************************************************
Please read the gpsdrive man page. To do so, install the program and type
man gpsdrive
into a terminal window. With KDE Konqueror you can also see it with the URL:
man:gpsdrive
Most information is now in the man page!
A collaborative wiki help system can be found here:

Also have a look at the old revision changelog at
http://www.gpsdrive.de/changes.shtml
For help regarding MySQL support please read README.SQL.
********************************************************************
How to install the program:
----------------------
To compile gpsdrive you need quite a few development packages.
These requirements are detailed in the DEVPACKAGES text file.
Most importantly you will need a C compiler (gcc >=3.x) and 'make'.
To compile from the tarball:
Extract it with "tar -xvzf gpsdrive*tar.gz"
cd gpsdrive
./configure
make
If you don't need the support of the GARMIN protocol (you are using
only NMEA protocol) you should configure GpsDrive with:
./configure --disable-garmin
You can also add --enable-auto-optimization for optimized compiler flags.
See "./configure --help" for all options.
To install the program, the gpsd daemon and the language files you should
(as root) do:
make install
After compiling and installing* read the manpage of gpsdrive or start the
program if you are to lazy to read manuals. ;-) Or read it online.
[*] install is needed for localized versions of the man page.
Quick Guide to get started:
---------------------------
# Compile and install
./configure
make
make install
# create database
geoinfo.pl --create-db --fill-defaults --openstreetmap \
--db-user=root --db-password=<our mysql root password>
# make directory
mkdir ~/.gpsdrive
# fetch additional maps
gpsfetchmap.pl -w gpsd -a 1
# start gpsdrive
gpsdrive
If errors occur in ./configure, try running ./autogen.sh first.
You can also download the RPM file and install it:
rpm -Uvh gpsdrive*.rpm
Uninstall:
---------
If you installed using the tarball:
cd into the gpsdrive directory (not the src), then
make uninstall
If you used the rpm package:
rpm -e gpsdrive
You can find much more information in the manual page, read it with
"man gpsdrive" or online at http://www.gpsdrive.de/man-en.html
enjoy!
