Viking is an open source application that allows you to import and edit your Global Positioning System (GPS) points of interest and tracks. It can overlay the points and tracks on your choice of Google Maps, Terraserver, OpenStreetMap, or NASA's BlueMarble map tiles so you can see what you are doing.

Viking is available as a 1-Click install for openSUSE 11 and Fedora 9, and is packaged for Ubuntu Hardy. I built Viking 0.9.6 from source on an i386 Fedora 9 machine. Although the requirements page does not mention it, the configure step will fail if libgps is not installed. The fatal configure message informs you that you can get around this by passing --disable-realtime-gps-tracking when invoking configure if you are willing to do without GPS tracking.

libgps is packaged either by itself or as part of the gpsd package, depending on your distribution. For Ubuntu Hardy use libgps-dev, for openSUSE 11 the library is part of gps-devel, and for Fedora 9 it is in the standard repository as gpsd-devel. Once you either have the development package for libgps installed or have disabled it in configure then you can complete the build with the normal make; sudo make install process.
