Roadnav - Open Source G Navigation



Digging around a little bit in the world of carputers following our recent post on the Subaru carputer, I came acro Roadnav, a cro platform, open source G ma ing program from Richard Lynch. One thing that makes this project different from many commercial solutio is that it uses free US ma ing data from "the US Ce us Bureau and the USGS." It then renders the ma from that government data. I believe most commercial ma ing data is su lied by Navteq, whose trademark you are probably used to seeing at the bottom of Google Ma . Roadnav is a bit rough around the edges, but given the limited number of G navigation solutio for the Mac it's certainly worth checking out.
