This weekend I took a bus trip to Seoul. I installed Navit and gpsd on my
netbook, plugged in a USB gps receiver, and downloaded OSM data for all
Korea using Navit's download tool.
It worked well. It planned a route to the bus terminal in Seoul, which
generally matched the route the bus actually took (naturally, I had no
influence over the route the driver took). The moving map is quite
mesmerising and all drawn from OSM vector data in real time.
Navit is available for Android, and it's probably very easy for you to try
it out. It's still 'under development', so not as slick as you might
expect, but it does work.
