which distro are you using frederik?

i use ubuntu and debian on my hp laptop and openmoko phone, and they
both have tangogps (aka foxtrotgps) in the repositories. it stores
tiles locally, and allows one to add as many map repositories as one
likes. it may be available for windows as well

it will track via gps, and update the position continuously
