I don't know how Navit does it but I think it stores the raw data to be able to calculate the routing. I've also heard that one solution is then after routing use bitmaps in the background to show the map behind the routing 'layer'. But I think we won't see changes here in the near future. It takes too much power to process the vector data into pictures. @anonymous: as I wrote: "I should also learn to use navigation software like Navit." so beware, I might actually do it some day :) @moko: Would be cool.

I haven't tried navit, but supposedly it does use a reduced size map data format. one wishlist i’d like for tangogps is to support a more space-efficient storage of the map data.
