Pdax And Gps Navigation

[louigi600]

So you'll still have to buy a broken tom-tom.  If you have to buy one to get the software to work, what's the point?  Other than the cool factor, if I have to buy one to get the software to work, I'll use the tom for navigation.

Yes ... but a lot depends on one's point of view:
I have a laptop, a pda, and a gps .... but when I travel I'm willing to pay a little more in order to be able to condense all I need inside my pda.
Yes ... I'll buy a broken G300 when I'll feel the project has reached a stable solution, obviously I'd opt for an opensource alternative if there was a satisfactory navigation software. The other problem with the open source navigation softwares is the maps; where do you get good free maps that can also work outside major towns ?

Google maps has complete coverage of my country, as does yahoo.

Yes ... a bit like maptoit ... but what about route calculation  ... getting sufficient rout calculation stuff to be usefull in areas that you're not familiar with may be difficult.
Tomtom can do real time route recalculation if you take a wrong tur ... how can I manage that with free maps/software ?

maemo-mapper can do recalculation as well

But where do I get free route calculation stuff that covers the free maps that I want to use so that the route recalculation can work ?

Koen ... the link you suggested for download has rom images to be installed.
I'd still like to use it with pdaXrom.
Is this possible (I see they use a different kernel) ?
What dependencies would I need to satisfy ?
Can I get a working binary or package for pdaxrom r121 from anywhere ?
If no bin or package is avalible what would be the chances of cross compiling it successfully with the pdaXrom SDK  for a non experienced programmer like me ?

I see no rom images.

ROM = read only memory
Flash is writable and therefore not rom.

[louigi600]

Ooops ... I got confused with url's concerning some other navigation stuff and made missusage of the "ROM" acronym referring to the os images to be flashed to the onboarf Flash of the zaurii.
Besides the dependencies (on the correct url ... not whatever I was browsing this morning) are all listed there.
Sorry

I've inserted this part to the gpsdrive.

See: Gpsdrive For PdaXrom
The routes from gnuite.com aren't the cab drivers' way. The annoncements are some times confusing. But it is a good toy, and it is free. (?)

Anyway I'll glad if you try it,
