Garmin has a farily reasonable map package.




Yeah, I've got one of those too. MetroGuide with routing info. At one point Kim Salo was attempting to figure out enough of the format to use it as map data for his software. I am not sure how far he got. I just did a little googling and I can't find any info on what format these CDs are in other than that the data is from TeleAtlas. Might be worth looking at as a possible data source though as they aren't that expensive ($116 off Garmin's site) and supposedly contain all the routing data we would need as well as point of interest (hotels, etc) information. http://www.garmin.com/cartography/mapSource/MG.html
