<p class=MsoNormal>Hi,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Has anyone ported QGIS to OS2008 running on the Nokia
N810? The operating system is built from Debian and uses GTK but there is
a port of QT4 that runs on the handheld (I installed a demo QT4-based program
that works fine) so QGIS may be fairly easy to port. Python 2.5 is also
purported to run on OS2008 but I have not succeeded in installing it.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>What is needed I think is a port of QGIS as is or some
subset of the functionality, just enough to allow capture of points, lines and polygons
and a plug-in to interface with the built-in GPS unit that could show current location
on a map with possibility of saving waypoints.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>The objective is to develop an open source geological field
mapping tool. I am prepared to fund this work. Discussions required
to establish scope and cost.<o:p></o:p></p>
