look at the screen shots and "wow!". Then look at the documentation: raster maps only. These maps came from somewhere else. No routing. bleh. The only interesting thing here is GTK use for cross-platform support. next!

Ah, this is more like it. At a glance: maps - so what? looks a lot like xastir (maybe they do a bit better job rendering labels). Keep looking: vector maps, rendered by the app, included routing, vector maps based on TIGER data. Offline maps! Cross platform! Cross platform support based on wxWidgets, could be something interesting for our xastir developers to look at/borrow for xastir v2.
I'm downloading this one to my mac right now, will probably try it out on my trip this weekend. Thanks for the pointer!

This one doesn't grab me - first thing I noticed is that there isn't a single street label on any screenshot. Appears to target some linux distro that's unfamiliar to me (in spite of being named Familiar linux. :)
