Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist * Package name : flightgear-atlas Version : 0.3.0 Upstream Author : Atlas Developers <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * URL : http://atlas.sourceforge.net/ * License : GPL Description : Atlas aims to produce and display high quality charts of the world for users of FlightGear
A common request coming from flightgear users is to have some kind of moving map to help with navigation when using flightgear. Atlas provides just that. (I've suggested package name flightgear-atlas and not atlas because the latter name is already used for a linear algebra package in Debian). See also the flightgear package already in Debian. (From the project home page): Atlas aims to produce and display high quality charts of the world for users of FlightGear, an open source flight simulator. This is achieved through two main parts: The map creator (simply called Map) and the Atlas viewer. The map creator takes scenery data from FlightGear and transforms it into beautiful map pictures that can be viewed with any bitmap image program that you might have installed or with the Atlas viewing application. The Atlas viewing application can be used for browsing your maps but can also connect directly to FlightGear and display your aircrafts current location on a so called moving map display.
