I wish to create a small pathfinder application with maps.

Where can I download navigation European map data and find documentation about their formats?

It's difficult to tell what is being asked here. This question is ambiguous, vague, incomplete, overly broad, or rhetorical and cannot be reasonably answered in its current form. See the FAQ for guidance on how to improve it.

OpenStreetMap is a free editable map of the whole world. It is made by people like you. OpenStreetMap allows you to view, edit and use geographical data in a collaborative way from anywhere on Earth.

You can export data as XML or as SVG, Postscript etc. The site has a description of the XML format.

Also note that Google maps has an API which can be used to display your own paths projected onto a Google map.
