I have failed to find a wheezy deb of TangoGPS.
Would it be an easy one for the CR maintainers to do?

BTW OpenCPN seems to work well in MX-14 on my Aspire1 netbook.

Tango GPS appears to have been replaced by a fork of it called "foxtrotgps". Does that one work?

Thanks, Jerry.
Installed and runs OK, but would not recognise my GPS dongle until I installed the
GPSD package from Synaptic. Now it's working perfectly

Stevo, since I am happy with plain TangoGPS I have not tried the forked version.
Interesting that the tangogps.org site is now not functional.

Glad it's working for you!

It's nothing I know anything about, all I did was run duckduckgo on "tangogps deb" then, after looking at the first page of hits, "tangogps ubuntu"

If you hunt around, (http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.ha ... nity/60092), it seems the TangoGPS developer just stopped working on it years ago, so others that wanted to improve it have taken the code and are working on it in the Foxtrot project.
