There is the "Maps" that is a Wayfinder specially built for N8x0. It is about as "real" GPS navigation software that I can think. (But it is not free...)

I'm using the great MaemoMapper. If you have internet connection through your cell phone it is capable of doing most, if not all, "real GPS" navigation things... and the maps, since being bitmaps, look a lot better than any vector based GPS's I have seen. The downside is that bitmaps takes a lot more room from memory card.

For special purposes you can even use terrain maps or satellite images! Try that with your "real GPS" system?
