tangoGPS
tangoGPS is an open source lightweight user friendly map and
GPS application. It uses the gpsd daemon to obtain data from the GPS
receiver. With gpsd, multiple GPS client applications can share access
to devices without contention or loss of data.
By default tangoGPS uses map data from the Openstreetmap
project. Additionally a variety of other repositories can be easily
added such as Maps-for-free and OpenAerialMap. The software is intended
primarily for mobile devices.
