A lack I find using Linux is the lack of commercial software as there are at Microsoft, even if they are willing to pay, many times you do not find anything. If we look at the area of GPS navigation, this gap becomes unbearable.
Of course, many will say, there ' Navitaire that seems beautiful is open, it is also free! But just that I think is his weak point, being free is forced to use maps do not buy, according to the project OpenStreetMaps , so either out of date or missing at all! Just look at Italy to realize how much the project, although beautiful, is a little 'back.
Now to change the tables and perhaps to make "justice" we think SYGIC GPS navigation software that offers, that's incredible, also runs under Linux !
For now you can register to become a beta tester.
We hope that the project is successful!
Here are some screenshots that can be found at:

Tomtom is the heart of embedded Linux ...
Sara 'linux as well but have never released a version that turns us on ...
And the real problem, not the software but the maps. If those who have the maps then not release anything for linux, it becomes difficult to have a product seriously.
