I got the idea for Navigatrix on a recent car trip I took from Massachusetts to Florida. While my wife did most of the driving, I sat in the navigators chair, with my GPS in the window, connected to my laptop.

I originally intended to use the laptop to just download the track data at regular intervals because the GPS has a limited memory, but I ended up using Garmin's Mapsource program to display my real-time position.

While this was very cool there are several things that I would change to make navigating on car trips much easier. I have attempted to ask Garmin for feature enhancements in the past and they have been very unreceptive.

And so, as I always say, if you want anything done right you have to do it yourself. Besides, I think it would run much better on Unix.
