+QLandkarteGT (GeoTIFF/Garmin map/OSM viewer)
+
+QLandkarte GT is the ultimate outdoor aficionado's tool. It supports
+GPS maps in GeoTiff format as well as Garmin's img vector map format.
+
+Also it is a front end to the GDAL tools, to make georeferencing
+scanned maps feasible for the normal user. Compared to similar tools
+like QGis, its target users are more on the consumer side than on the
+scientific one. QLandkarte GT might not let you select every possible
+feature of the GDAL tools, but it will simplify their use to the demands
+of most users.
+
+See http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/qlandkartegt/ for details on
+how to install and convert maps.
+
+See http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OSM_Map_On_Garmin/Download for
+a list of downloadable osm-based mapsets.
+
+gpsd and libdmtx are optional.
