We use Navit. Works off line against Open Street Map data. It is available for a number of platforms. We use it on openSUSE and get data from gpsd. It can also read direct from the GPS.
I see mostly negative comments on google play. I'll try it, anyway. First thing I see is that it does not ask where to download the map: main disk, or external memory card. It goes to the main "disk". It downloads slowly on my fast internet. I touched the screen to see something else, and it aborted at 50% download. Start again. I'm not liking it... Second attempt at map download, it stays at 0%, which was one of the complains on the comments. Third attempt, it recovered 50% and continued. Finally it installed: it is slow (my phone is fast), poor in features, poor map displayed. OsmAnd is much much better. I remove it. On Linux, I don't have a GPS, so I can't try it there. It is available from Application:Geo repository. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 13.1 x86_64 "Bottle" at Telcontar)
