RoadMap is a program for Linux that displays street maps. The maps are
|
|
provided by the US Census Bureau, and thus only cover the US.
|
|
|
|
RoadMap is at an early stage of development. At this time there are no
|
|
routing features implemented yet. RoadMap can only display the map around
|
|
a specified street address or follow a GPS device (using gpsd). The plan
|
|
for the future is to implement some navigation features similar to those
|
|
found in commercial street navigation systems.
|
|
|
|
RoadMap uses a binary file format for representing the maps that is compact
|
|
enough to allow the storage of many maps on a Compact Flash or MultiMedia
|
|
card. The map of Los Angeles county takes about 10 Mbytes of flash space.
|
|
RoadMap comes with a set of tools to convert the US Census bureau data
|
|
into its own map format.
