I tried my GlobalSat BU-353 on Mint Maya. I had to install gpsd to get xgsp to show sats and position. Xastir is broken on my system, so I couldn't positively confirm it will work with Xastir. It does work with gpsd, so if Xastir uses gpsd, then this GPS should work. It is on the hardware list

See the other thread today talking about Shapefile maps for Xastir. Find some ESRI Shapefile extracts from the OSM data and use that. Create a custom dbfawk file for xastir to get the labels displaying to your liking. On Mon, May 11, 2015 at 1:15 PM, Dale Miller stpatri...@twlakes.net wrote: On

They have both. However, depending on how the the files are created, you may have to create a dbfawk file to go with them so the labels appear, or appear as you like. Dbfawk files are specific to Xastir. There are several on here who could help you with that part, assuming you have some time

Is the soundmodem process running? Xastir won't start it for you. Btw, though soundmodem still works, it's been abandoned for years. You'll have much better luck with Direwolf in the long run as it supports multi-bit error correction and is under active development. --David On

FYI: I wouldn't use cached maps for an event. Too much can go wrong. Use Shapefile extracts if you want to use OSM maps. Find links to extracts here: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Shapefiles For instance, I can get a Shapefile extract for WA state here:

Did the chmod command come back with any errors when you ran it sudo? The hard fail on the interface means that either something else already has the port, or that the user/group/permissions on the port aren't sufficient for you to access it. On my boxes (OpenSuSE) the chmod 4755 bit works fine,
