Navit
Navit is a car navigation system with routing engine.
Its modular design is capable of using vector maps of various
formats for
routing and rendering of the displayed map. It's even possible to use
multiple maps at a time.
The GTK+ or SDL user interfaces are designed to work well with
touch screen displays. Points of Interest of various formats are
displayed on the map.
The current vehicle position is either read from gpsd or
directly from NMEA GPS sensors.
The routing engine not only calculates an optimal route to
your destination, but also generates directions and even speaks
to you using speech-dispatcher.

- directly from a file
- from gpsd (local or remote)
