OpenSatNav (OpenSatNav) is a project to create an open satnav application that can be used on Android (G1+) handsets, and potentially Openmoko. The AndNav2 project has done some excellent work. The app is to work natively, and not require the hack of installing Debian on-top of Android.

Outstanding issues

Calculating a route is only possible after getting a GPS fix. It's not possible to calculate a route between two arbitrary points.
