[Lazarus] GPS Navigation Software develpment

[Noli Sicad]

You get some idea from RoadMap — A Car Navigation System for Linux,
UNIX and Others
http://roadmap.sourceforge.net/index.html

Probably you can use their map format for your project.

Have a look at GISImage.pas for map render and (gps data??).
