I know that I can use stuff like xastir or google earth to show my location on a map, but that won't include the announcing or the automatic route recalculations etc,... maybe there are google earth plugins for this?

I'd like to know about any GPS software you've used (especially the freeware/donationware/opensource alternatives).
