I road travel quite a bit, and have a Garmin Dezl 760D with my own
profiles on there. In both of my trucks, I've got gps recievers running
off raspberry pi3's, running CentOS7/armv7 images. I bring all this
together on my laptop, running viking and gpsbabel under the hood.

This allows me to do all my route planning on either google-maps,
google-earth, or viking and all the tracks from the different devices
come together as layers. The POI tracking and specially the topo
tracking on viking is pretty good. There is no viable road-route planner
that works on Linux at this point though.

Thats the one thing that the garmin apps do really well. As a
workaround, I've used viamichelin to good effect ( and wikiloc ); and
all the tools and bits you need to track and refactor on the road, come
together really well on CentOS.

HTH
