Hi,
i was wondering if there is any alternative to the installed software which comes with any of the gps systems. Like rockbox you have for mp3 players.
I found some ideas, but haven't tried any so far.
This is kinda promising since you can use it on a cheap cellphone. Requires a little work.

Also i found this as an alternative to google etc..
http://www.openstreetmap.org/
And last this project which uses some closed source librabries. :(
http://www.opentom.org/
I personally dig into the first option. Although i wish i could replace my tomtom software which is my ultimate goal.
If someone has a solution, please post it here.
Some people might but use their cellphones as gps device. That might be for me in the future, once i can afford a phone like that (with the expensive plan).
Thanks and please give your input. Its appreciated.
