That's indeed a solution. Now it really depends on the kind of GUI. Web based
GUI are quite poor compared to a standard ones. If Web based GUI is not an
option for this project, what about GtkAda ? It is cross-platform (GNU/Linux,
Windows, OS/X) fast and quite complete and stable at this time. GPS is done
using GtkAda for example.
