There is...
I am the proud maintainer of a personal project that have these goals
called NavSys ( http://sxpert.esitcom.org/projects/navsys/ )
This software currently allows you to play ogg files (hehe, in-car music
with no ads and no cd changing) and acts as a GPS application (currently
display tracks of where you have traveled so far.

it needs gtk2 and a few other libraries that are available in RH (and
probably other distro, but haven't tested).

A Polish friend is helping me with a related project called mapeditor (
http://sxpert.esitcom.org/projects/mapeditor/ ) that will allow to
create free for all maps.
