I found something someone had done with Tiger mapping data called tmrs. (Tiger Mapping and Routing Server)

Looks like it might be at least somewhere useful, but for one thing: I bet it's going to be too hard on memory to run on the player. I'm going to look at it some more tonight.

Looks like pretty cool stuff but from the docs it seems like it can only deal with one county at a time? Keep us updated on this.

Oooh, neat. I wonder how (or if) it deals with the limitations of the tiger data (lack of one ways and not so good precision)?

it seems like it can only deal with one county at a time

The tiger data is broken up into a lot of separate files for different regions. The software would just need to be smart enough (and I don't know if this is) to locate and use the correct file.
