    Tomtom's run on Linux and there are a few free apps you can run on it that allow the use of OpenStreetMaps. There are even a few free apps that allow you to track routes and add them to the OSM database (handy for adding footpaths and bridleways).

    Please don't. OpenStreetMaps has so little information on its beyond belief. Around here, it covers just the main roads.
