Roadster – GPS mapping with MySQL

A fully GPL project: http://linuxadvocate.org/projects/roadster/
Roadster implements free GPS mapping, using MySQL with R-Trees as back-end.
On the front-end it’s GNOME with Cairo.
It can use maps directly from the US Census Bureau, other countries that have free road maps (I’ve been told Australia has, also) will work too.

I understand the product is not yet ready for the big releases, but hackers can grab the latest CVS version and go nuts. It sounds excellent.
