=== Porting the Garmin GPSMap 196 to Canvas === | |||
The Garmin 196 is currently in the process of being ported to [[Canvas]] and [[MapStructure]] by F-JJTH. | |||

Given the generic nature of Philosopher's [[MapStructure]] framework,it only took us 60 seconds to integrate with MapStructure using just 10 lines of [[Nasal]] code - it's a fully working moving map - scale is obviously off here, but it's a matter of setting another style (which can also be used to change color and most symbols) | |||

This is exactly the reason, why we've been working towards an aircraft and GUI agnostic abstraction layer using MVC design concepts - so that reusing and integrating such stuff is really straightforward, without people having to come up with their own custom maps and layers from scratch. | |||
