Triggered by the above remark I wonder why no company has yet written a
decent navigation package running on Linux.

Not being a linux user I cannot comment on whether decent or not.

As far as I know, this software only shows where you are. No
routes/waypoints. No autopilot control.

GpsDrive has some waypoints features as well:

I am not a linux user either though..
