Something that free hiking and boating have in common besides the above needs is "free navigation" ie. not constrained by road or other vectors, simply a heading / distance display from current position to a POI (also known in most handheld GPS receivers as a waypoint). A question in another thread brought the fact that the n900 really has no hiking GPS app ala a garmin or some such handheld.

PS Apparently Advanced Geocaching Tool has direction and distance.
