provided by the US Census Bureau, and thus only cover the US. RoadMap is at an early stage of development. At this time there are no routing features implemented yet. RoadMap can only display the map around a specified street address or follow a GPS device (using gpsd). The plan for the future is to implement some navigation features similar to those found in commercial street navigation systems. RoadMap uses a binary file format for representing the maps that is compact enough to allow the storage of many maps on a Compact Flash or MultiMedia card. The map of Los Angeles county takes about 10 Mbytes of flash space. RoadMap comes with a set of tools to convert the US Census bureau data into its own map format.

Roadnav is an open source street navigation solution capable of running on a
|
|
variety of operating systems. It can obtain your position from a GPS unit,
|
|
plot a map of your area, and provide directions to locations in the USA. It
|
|
can also verbalize directions using Microsoft SAPI 5.1, Festival, flite, and
|
|
OS X's built in text to speech engine.
|
|
|
|
Roadnav uses the free TIGER/Line (Topologically Integrated Geographic
|
|
Encoding and Referencing) files from the US Census Bureau to build the maps,
|
|
along with the GNIS state and topical gazetteer data from the USGS to identify
|
|
locations. It has experimental support for scripting, LCDproc, importing
|
|
OpenStreetMap data, and importing GPX waypoints and tracks.
