Introduction

• GpsDrive is a computer program

designed to act as a vehicle navigation

system. The program displays its user's

position, obtained from an NMEA-capable

GPS receiver, on a zoomable map drawn

on a computer screen. The map file is

automatically selected depending on the

position and preferred scale.
