That will be convenient for much more people to try monav.

I am currently using the "name" tag to determine street and place
names. The current AddressLookup plugin can handle languages with a
high count of different characters, but not very well. Do you have a
suggestions how to handle this better than it is done currently?

What about a "preferred name tag order list"? While importing osm file, the importer will search for the name tag by the order of the list. For example, if you are a German who also speak English, the order list can be something like "name:de, name:en, name".


 What is the usual input method for Chinese characters?
Mostly, we input Chinese character via its pinyin (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinyin).

 How do Chinese satnavs solve the problem?
Localized application for local use.


I will look into it, but I cannot reproduce the error using the latest
planet.osm. I get the correct route in both cases. I am going to try
the osm file you used later. What version of MoNav did you use? The
0.1 release or a SVN revision? Maybe an error has crept into the
latest SVN version as I rewrote most of the compressed graph data
structure.
That should be the latest SVN revision.

MoNav supports routing by lat/lon. Just open the map view and choose
"Goto GPS" from the menu. Then click the desired location.
Yes, I see it. I think that is what GPSGrid for.

What benefit would you gain from reverse Geocoding?

Generally, reverse geocoding answers "what is there". The map canvas on the screen only shows part of these information, and may be not well formed for human sight. Reverse geocoding can help to solve the problem, but that depends on the main purpose of application. For example, searching for a list of nearest POIs is a very useful function for auto navgiation.
Also, enhancing the AddressLookup to look up more POIs is desirable.
