+tangogps is an easy to use, fast, and lightweight mapping application
+for use with or without GPS. By default, tangoGPS uses map data from
+the Openstreetmap project. Additionally, a variety of other repositories
+can be easily added. The maps are downloaded and cached for offline use
+while you drag or zoom the map. Furthermore, you can conveniently pre-cache
+areas with tangoGPS.
+
+If connected to a GPS, your current position and track are shown on the map,
+and you can log positional data for further processing, e.g. for geocoding
+photos or uploading streets to Openstreetmap.
+
+This requires ORBit2 and GConf.
