Roadnav - Open Source GPS Navigation

routebuddy is not free nor is it opensource. With routebuddy you still have to buy the maps you want to use so it is not a nice solution.

I have not seen an osx version of MS S&T of any version.

Also for the person who tried to map between one city to another city that used expressways. If you would have looked under prefs you would have seen a way to give weight to how you wanted to give you directions. You have three choices to do that.

This software is very rough around the edges but I think it is doing a good job so far. I am waiting for my bluetooth gps device to charge up to give it a good testing with that but hey a universal client for win, nix, and osx you cant complain to much. So me a cost effective program that can do this...

There is also RouteBuddy http://www.routebuddy.com

Is there a mac version of M&S Streets and Trips, period? Seriously, I don't know.

Glad to see this subject: Anyone know of open source navigation GPS CD that I can drop in our Nissan Quest. To update the disc that plays inside the navigator is very expensive (I can't recall the company?) in the area of $600,

Thanks. BTW love this site.

Speaking of which... is there a Mac (Universal) version of MS S&T out?

I like the idea of a free mapping program, but the routing totally sucks in this one. To check it out, I use a route between Chicago and Champaign IL, and has me only taking the expressways half the way, and puts me way out of the way.

I think it's a good idea, but will take quite a while before it's close to prime time.

It's a start, but even with regular updates, it will most likely be years before this application can come close in functionality to iGuidance or even Microsoft Streets & Trips.

Err, link was stripped... The Open street map can be found at http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Main_Page

And what about Europe, goddammit?!

(Besides NavTeq, the other big commercial digital map provider is Tele Atlas.)
