Well there was a DOS version before the windows one. :-P

Actually, I think if you do serious sailing you shouldn't realy use your 
navigation equipment for browsing the web or sending e-mails.
M$ is OK on a beast with only a simple chore.

I know there is a german firm that offered navigation equipment for inland 
waterways that came deliverd pre-installed on embedded LInux. No charts 
outside of Europe though and I can't remember the name. Very expensive, think 
$10,000 or more.

There's quite an active mail list for "gpsdrive", maybe you cold pick up a few 
pointers there. As always, it isn't the program that's the trouble but the 
(vectorized) maps that have to be made and are well guarded by their owners.
