I've complained here before about how much I hate pretty much all GPS devices/software. I finally partly-decided to half-heartedly make a feeble stab at doing something about it!
There's 3 parts: Maps: OSM is the obvious choice. Routing: There's a bunch of good routers out there, although one major thrust of my own thing involves changing the routing (or at least exposing parameters nobody else seems to expose the way I want). I figure I'll start with one of those with my own pre-processor in front of it, then go from there. Navigation: There doesn't seem to be a lot of work in this area, although it's hard to google for without getting inundated by retail product hits. The debian repos have "navit" that does a full end-to-end thing, which I don't want. I could maybe rip out just the navigation part, but their Android app is so awful it gives me a bad code smell feeling. Does anyone know of any projects that specifically target (and do a good job on) taking a pile of maps and a GPX file and turning that into a sequence of "in 20 miles, turn left"-type directions? _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/
