NaviPOWM is planned to become a car navigation software. You can use it on devices running Windows Mobile, Windows and Linux.

The current version is 0.2.6 and it is available at sourceforge:

• http://sourceforge.net/projects/navipowm

There is a small WIKI-page with explanations on the site as well:

• http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/navipowm

NaviPOWM can use OSM vector maps (no tiles needed) converted by OSM2POWM.

• NaviPOWM is planned to be a routing software.
• NaviPOWM can already show OSM maps in the background converted by OSM2POWM.
• NaviPOWM can already record GPS data in NMEA format. Have a look at Converting NMEA to GPX when you need GPX-Files. (JOSM and Merkaartor can read NMEA)

Map Downloads

Whole Planet and all Countries

Each single MAP-file (1°x1°) is compressed with 7z. You have to extract them before using with NaviPOWM.

• look at the Mainpage for update status
• download from HTTP-Server
• download single files from OSM-map
• all countries of the whole world are sorted by continent and country. Use wget to load all MAP-files of a country.

Runs fine on

Navigon 2510

The navipowm.txt should contain this line: GPSPort = NMEA;serial;COM2:;9600;8;N;1

In order to switch between Navigon-Software and NaviPOWM i've added these lines to the autorunce.mscr:

Choice( "Programmstart","Welches Programm?","Navigator","NaviPOWM")
  Case( 1 )
    Run("\My Flash Disk\NAVIGON\PM.exe")
  Case( 2 )
    Run("\Storage Card\NAviPOWM.exe")
  Case( 0 )
    Exit
EndChoice

Static navigation

If you want to record tracks by foot or by bike, edit the navipowm.txt file. Set the minimum distance to 4m for bikes, to 1m for walking. 10 is default and works fine for cars. To disable SN in the hardware (GPS chip) you have to use other tools.
