Don't forget Navit. Which is a real vector based navigation software 
which works offline and with various map formats.
Tangogps downloads tiles (images!) from the internet to show maps. And 
tangogps uses gpsd, which is supposed to become obsolete...

Really, i like tangogps. But it is not the definitive answer to mapping 
and routing.
I don't know if this java thing is any good, but if so, i see no reason 
not to have it. (Assuming the performance is good and we have a java 
runtime...)
