Navit looks good but I have no idea what I'm doing outside of the gui. Maemo mapper looks good as well but I need to be able to change my route on the fly w/out a internet connection. So what are my options?

I don't think there are any choices, you can pay for on the fly or have MM for free but I don't think there is a free alternative that can do reroutes on the fly.

If you can get Navit to work (I couldn't), that would be your best bet.
MM can store routes. So if you know you need to travel from PointA to PointB at some time in the future, you can save this route. When you're ready to travel to PointB, just load the route at PointA, and you have instant directions. You can store multiple routes. Unless you have a totally random schedule, this can work for you.
