Introducing myself: I'm Don Allen. I'm a retired computer professional (I wrote my first computer program in 1960 -- some assembly-language code for an IBM 1620 -- a scary thought!). I have used tangogps a fair amount and it is a very good piece of work. I did have some initial problems with it, tried to reach Marcus Bauer by email to no avail, and finally took a suggestion for a bug-fix from someone I found by googling, who was seeing the same seg-faults I was. To me, it appeared that tangogps was had been abandoned, given Bauer's unresponsiveness and after noting that the website is now just a bunch of ads. So I was very pleased to discover the foxtrotgps project, which appears to be alive and well. I am using the latest release on a Toshiba netbook running Arch Linux, and it appears to work very well, though I haven't accumulated a lot of hours of usage yet. I've looked at the roadmap and it appears sensible. I look forward to future improvements in what is already a very useful application.
