I also noted roadster as a possible basis for an openmoko based navigation package, however roadnav(<a href="http://roadnav.sourceforge.net/">http://roadnav.sourceforge.net/</a>) seemed quite a lot farther along. It uses wxwidgets, which we don't support yet giving us two possible routes of attack:
<br>1) create a openmoko target for wxwidgets (some interest has been expressed in this endever)<br>2) Just use the base library(LibRoadnav) for our own application.<br><br>I'm very interested in getting involved in the development of a navigation app, so please keep me informed about your thoughts/progress.

Hello,<br><br>several times there was the question about (free) navigation software for OpenMoko.<br>I found an possible alternative to gpsdrive: roadster [1]<br>It seems that it is in a relatively early stage and I couldn't test it, but it looks nice.
<br>I also don't know what kind of maps can be used.<br>Currently it uses a mysql database (don't know for what), maybe this should be replaced through sqlite for OM.<br>Maybe someone wants to test the software and contact the developer.
