I am looking for advice, as part of my migration from Windows, to find a good replacement for my Delorme Street Atlas program, which only runs in Windows. Even though I would prefer to get free open source software, due to the dependability I need it to have, I am not ruling out purchasing commercial software for Linux if it needs be. It is for my laptop computer for when we need to make road trips. I have tried a number of software packages including Navit and others, which crash easily and a lot, but have yet to find one that even has half the stability I need. Any suggestions?
I don't think this is quite what you have in mind, but I've gotten fond of my Nokia 810 with maemo-map (not the included commercial item). However, I don't use it for navigation, which I think is your goal. The Nokia does run linux natively.
Wish this helped, but somehow ...
