Re: Navit GPS (and libgarmin) for os2008
 

Hello, here is an example of navit.xml using Mapear (garmin) maps (www.proyectomapear.com.ar)

http://www.tecdencia.net/navit/downloads/navit.xml

Set your coordinates in the Navit tag so when the program starts it will show your location. Example:
Also, remember to select Maps -> Projection -> Garmin if you are using garmin maps.

I hope this helps.

Hi, it's flite -t '%s'
I uploaded a sample configuration, please take a look at it.

Re: Navit GPS (and libgarmin) for os2008
 

Thank you for the sample config.

I think I figured out the source of my confusion. In another thread someone had suggested that Navit could use the Wayfinder maps that come on the N810's internal memory card; I had those mixed up with Garmin maps.

Re: Navit GPS (and libgarmin) for os2008
 

ajf: I was using the map file obtained from Garmin City Navigator Europe NT 2008, couldn't get it to display.

Wonder if the Mapear Garmin maps are somewhat different than this one.

Re: Navit GPS (and libgarmin) for os2008
 

Can anybody please post steps on how to install NAVIT on N800?
Also where will I find the maps to download?

I downloaded the navit0.0.3.tar.gz file to my N800 and tried to untar it, but it could not be untared. Please help?

Re: Navit GPS (and libgarmin) for os2008
 

follow the instructions of my first post please.

Re: Navit GPS (and libgarmin) for os2008
 

Thank you for your reply. After posting my question, I have gone thorough your first post and successfully installed Navit. I even downloaded maps from 'http://maps.navit-project.org/download/' and loaded them to one of my SD Card on my N800. Only thing I don't know is how to edit the Navit.xml file and change the maps path to the SD card. Please help me with this.

One more clarification, when we start the Navit, it won't launch the GPS application automatically, we need to launch it from the Control Panel, right?? Correct me if I am wrong.

Thank you.

just tried reisenplanner maps...
wow :) ... whole of europe present without needing to swap countries! detail is pretty good too!

navit > wayfinder :D

at the moment i gotta launch gpsd through control panel too.
also...yet to try routing.

Re: Navit GPS (and libgarmin) for os2008
 

I wasn't able to get it communicate with my GPS receiver (which is working fine per Wayfinder's Map). Getting a location fix in control panel crashes this app the moment some satellites are shown as in use. Same thing with Map I started this app while Map was running hoping that that would work, share gps data perhaps, but no way, the moment Map acquires the fix, this app crashes. Oh well the hope springs eternal.
