Navit could be a perfect companion on Maemo. Compiles, runs and routes 
nicely - as long as there's no gps signal... :(

Unfortunately it frequently freezes as soon as gpsd is running. Unfortunately 
my C knowledge is rather nonexistent so I cannot debug or improve this 
behaviour.

There are (rather dated) packages on [1]. The author asks for patience 
regarding updates as he's working on some stuff.

Best regards,

ce
