BBBike

BBBike is an information system for cyclists in Berlin and Brandenburg (Germany). The application has the following features:

• Display a map with streets, railways, rivers, parks, altitude and other features
• Find and show routes between two points. The route-finder can be customized to match the cyclists preferences (fastest or nicest route, keep wind direction and hills into account etc.)
• A bike power calculator
• Automatically fetch current Berlin weather data

Here are Screenshots of the program, which is available for Linux, Unix, MacOSX, and Windows. There is also a Screenshot of a trimmed-down version for Intel ARM Handhelds running Linux (like the Compaq iPAQ).
