Personnaly I don't find it redundant.
- If you use a 2D map, it's easier to draw a bitmap rather than a vector. It
consume less cpu so less battery. Due to my experience, I find navit really
slower than tangogps
- There is more maps in bitmaps than in vector format, I think about
google's ones, I'm using thats maps but I would appreciate routing, with a
combination of bitmap and vector you can see the map in png and get routing
informations from vector one, less cpu, advantage of both vector and
bitmaps. You can even show the calculated itinary on top of the bitmap ...
