navit
Car navigation system with routing engine that uses vector maps data
Navit is a car navigation system with a routing engine.
It is meant to work with touchscreen devices, but it also works without a touchscreen. It also supports text to speech.
It can be configured extensively through its own configuration file format. For instance we can configure the graphical interface, and which map data is to be displayed at which zoom level.
It supports different routing profiles: bike, car, car_avoid_toll, car_pedantic, car_shortest, horse, pedestrian, truck.
It can use gpsd or NMEA GPS directly to get position data. It also works without GPS: in this case users can also enter position data directly.
It can also be used to log GPS data to files using the GPX or NMEA formats, or to replay NMEA data.
For maps, it can uses its own "binfile" map format, or Garmin map file format, and data from OpenStreetMap, Garmin maps, Marco Polo Grosser Reiseplaner, Routeplaner Europa 2007, Map + Route.
