GPSDrive and Roadmap have come a ways since I first installed them. 
Roadmap takes advantage of the of the TIGER data provided free from the 
US Census Bureau.  Both GPSDrive and Roadmap also have a means of 
importing data from http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Main_Page. 
Neither of them have full navigation support (e.g. enter start and end 
points and they show you how to get there), but both are working on it 
as a major must-have goal.
