    I used to be able to use Streets&Trips and Eclipse for my truck

    Now with Linux, neither of those two are applicable

    Anyone using anything that can do logging and mapping?

    just to be clear, i am doing fine without it, just wondering if i can catch back up to the 21st century

    mapquest and googlmaps work fine for mapping, but i wanted something that was downloaded onto the computer

    Do you use a laptop that you can set up as dual boot? Might be your best bet.. Its been several years since I toyed with Windows/Linux but still have a hard time finding usable software with my Macbook..

    I don't use it, never did, but Trucklogger is available in Windows, Mac, and Linux.

    I'm looking to switch my old ones to Linux since XP is no longer supported.
