Comparison of free off-line satellite navigation software

List with free (not necessarily open source) Satellite Navigation (or "GPS") software for a range of devices (PC, laptop, tablet, mobile phone, handheld PC (Pocket PC, Palm))

(SOURCE: Wikipedia: Comparison of free off-line satellite navigation software)

Satellite navigation software

Satellite navigation software or GPS navigation software usually falls into one of the following two categories:

Navigation with route calculation and directions from the software to the user of the route to take, based on a vector-based map, normally for motorized vehicles with some motorized forms added on as an afterthought.

 Navigation tracking, often with a map "picture" in the background, but showing where you have been, and allowing "routes" to be preprogrammed, giving a line you can follow on the screen. This type can also be used for geocaching.
