My wife and I are thinking about buying a GPS nav system for the car, but we want one that can be updated with a Linux machine without too much hassle.
TomTom[0] looks promising. We saw an ad for TomTom One 3rd ed. [1] for about $100 tomorrow. It seems to run Linux internally, but I don't know if that means much for connections and updates. It also looks like it uses ogg for the voice files. That first link has a script to manipulate them and even create your own. Having Darth Vader give driving directions might be worth the price of the device. :) My question: Do any NLUGers have advice on Linux friendly GPS systems that don't cost a fortune? If it needs to install ActiveSync or some other Windows software, I'll have to look for another model. As far as I know, they only really need to be connected to update maps every other year or so. We're not interested in traffic updates or speed traps or anything like that. Thanks.
