'Global Positioning by Satellite on the Zaurus'

Whilst PocketPC and Palm users have a wide choice of high quality commercial navigation software suites, the Zaurus isn't quite so well catered for and there's no neat all-in-one package.

However, it might be of interest to know that TomTom use Linux in some of their highly successful standalone GPS "appliances" such as the GO 300, 500 & 700. There are efforts to see if the TomTom software can be made to run on the Zaurus, but it's likely to work on so far because TomTom protect their valuable intellectual property (mapping and navigation) with encryption, and also optimise it for their hardware (e.g. writing directly to the frame buffer, needed certain bluetooth functions to be available).
