-* I want to look at maps.
-* I want to be able to prepare data and load my own maps.
-* I want to load map data in a WKB (well known binary) format such as shapefiles.
-* I want to go somewhere; please tell me how to get there. Routing.
-* I want to help with the [[Openstreetmap]] project by collecting data.
-* I want to use [[Openstreetmap]] data in a map viewer.
-* I want to use the smartphone GPS to go [[Geocaching]]
-* I want the GPS to update profile settings based on my location. Example, mute the phone ringer when I am at work.
-* I want to log GPS data for later analysis.
-* I want to collect GPS data for scientific field work (forestry, biology, etc)

-* Cairo-based mapping (I wonder what this is?)
-* [http://www.kflog.org/cumulus/ Cumulus] GPS software for glider pilots (and pilots in general), has a port for Qtopia and pulls (world) maps from the KFLog flight planner project. I think someone has put a project like this on the projects website * [http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Pyroute Pyroute] is a routing program written in Python by Ojw, and a mobile phone GUI for maps, GPS, and routing.
-:* [http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Rana Ran&aacute;] is the new version of pyroute
-* [http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Gosmore Gosmore] is a routing and viewer of OSM XML data such as the planet.osm.
-* [[GPS Sight]], a popular Openmoko project under LGPL.
-* [[GPS-Trail]] a simple trail logger.
-* [[GPS_Navigation#roadmap|roadmap]] mapping system using freely available maps (US census TIGER, DGLib, shapefiles).
-* [[Navit]] a car navigation system with routing engine.
-* [http://svn.projects.openmoko.org/svnroot/openmoko-agpsui Openmoko AGPS UI project].* [[Orrery]], an unpopular Openmoko project for displaying the night sky.
-* [[qpegps]] qtopia (arm PDA) based map viewer with gps features
-* [[QMapControl]] Qtopia based mapping widget. Displays maps and custom data, also other widgets can be bound to coordinates. GPS parser for the gllin output included.
-[http://projects.openmoko.org/projects/openvario/ here].
-* [http://www.tangogps.org TangoGPS] mapping program. Downloads maps on demand and caches them, very efficient. '''Works very well.'''
