ok, so i've been trying to find a viable replacement for tomtom on my palm--no luck yet. seems like there are a few options: wayfinder (but limited without significant $$$$), maemo-mapper, roadmap, and navit. looking for a comparison of features, and maybe stuff about them that i know about.

maemo-mapper: this seems the most polished. you can download pois (though i've had some probs, see separate thread), route maps, change map repositories, etc. re-routing requires online access, which is a problem. the map sizes are also HUUGE at a reasonable detail level.

roadmap: similar to the above. cool 3D view possible. doesn't seem to support POIs.

navit: vector mapping, has some potential. i haven't been able to enter waypoints successfully. i've managed to extract a map of the eastern u.s. taking up 600 megs, which isn't bad.



anything
