Roadnav v0.17 has been released. Roadnav is a open source in-car navigation system capable of running on a variety of operating systems, including Linux, Windows, and Mac OS X. It can obtain a car’s present location from a GPS unit, plot street maps of the area, and provide verbal turn by turn directions to any location in the USA. Roadnav uses the free TIGER/Line files from the US Census Bureau to build the maps, along with the GNIS state and topical gazetteer data from the USGS to identify locations. Notable changes include support for flite and OS X’s built in text to speech engine, improved routing algorithm, reduced disk space requirements, and many bug fixes.

I just installed F8-x86_64 on my Turion equipt laptop that I recently used with an i386 install for about a 3000 mile drive, and it ran well for a version 0.17.
Is this going to be made available for the x86_64 machines at some point?
Thanks for any consideration or replies, its a very handy flying down the road utility.
Cheers, Gene
