I'm thinking of upgrading my laptop and use linux instead of Windows. The only reason I'm using Windows on it now is because it has my GPS software.

What is a really good and nice looking GPS software that will work with Linux?

I currently am using a Garmin USB GPS receiver with the supplied software, nRoute.

There's one that I saw in the FreeBSD ports collection. Apparently, it can work with Linux as well.
