I haven't used any of these types of programs in a really long time.
What is it they actually do you find useful (seriously)?

 

I particularly like to tell it where I want to go and lit it plot the roads and it gives me nice strip maps with lots of detail where I want it.  It also is a great cost calculator and time estimator.  it also has lists of hotels,motels campgrounds restaurants etc.  Actually it will do about anything you want in the trip planning dept.  It is the best one I have found.  Yahoo maps aren't bad but no where near as thorough.

BTW, http://projects.nudieman.com/GMap just got announced on the Gtk#
list.

I did run "M$-Streetfinder 95" on WINE a very long time ago. But that
is so out of date that many street names have changed, especially with
the odd fad of lets-rename-streets-because-its-fun lately.

There is http://freshmeat.net/projects/gpsdrive/ if you are interested
in GPS & map capability.
