What are you doing that I'm not? On the map server I setup, there is currently 3.2G of postgres database files.

tangogps just pulls map tiles, it doesn't use any osm data directly, as for navit, there is an osm2navit app that converts the 1.6G osm file into some kind of binary format, but that's it you don't need to do anything else at that point, just download a new binary file if someone else is building it, which I'm trying to figure out how at the moment.
