Just want to say thanks to everyone contributing to this project. It's getting better everyday.

Re: Navit GPS (and libgarmin) for os2008
 

Alright, finally got it working compiling from source inside scratchbox. The original setup instructions I found in the garage installed Scratchbox 2. I think that this was giving me problems. I found a different tutorial to install scratchbox 1.x, using the older chinook version (but I found the proper files for installing diablo).

It is now compiling fine, but it won't do the icon scaling automatically. On the navit wiki gerritv mentions using fakeroot apt-get install librsvg2 to get it to scale the icons. I keep getting package not found. I did copy over gerritv's pre-scaled icons and it works fine with those.

Thanks for the help everyone.

One last question. How do I include gerritv's diff for the unblank on fullscreen?

Hi Lemmyslender
It amazes me how easily one can forget the steps taken to get to a point of getting things to work :-( I try to keep notes on when and how I add to a dev environment. But I don't always remeber that I wrote them down.
I have now updated the wiki to describe fully the installation of additional tools under Scratchbox.

As to patching from diffs, the best thing l I can do is point you to the man page for 'patch', thankfully this is included in the Scratchbox environment.

Dwould, lemmyslender,

Keep up the good work on demonstrating potential OSD layouts and then documenting them in the wiki, this is time consuming work that benefits many others.

Gerritv,
I updated the n800 page on navit wiki with new layout options and new picture.
Lemmyslender I updated the button commands on your layout shown there also.
I'm still trying to figure out the 'right' place to give re-odering examples for the layouts such as having the thin route line on top of the road.
It's not n8*0 specific, perhaps the wiki needs a 'exmaple config tweaks' page or some such.

gerritv- Thanks for the help and kind words.

dwould- Thanks for updating my layout.

I have a new tweaked layout with the new settings that I will get up on the wiki along with a picture. I tested it yesterday, for the next turn distance and next street name, replacing the [1] with a 2 etc will give the distance/name of the next next turn.

I think that some of this should be added to the On Screen Display page or at least a link to Config section of "our" page or vice versa.

Can anyone tell me why when i open Navit, and the gps locks on, no map is displayed? I live in Indana in the US.

Re: Navit GPS (and libgarmin) for os2008
 

you should download from http://downloads.cloudmade.com/ a suitable map in the navit.bin format and edit /home/user/.navit/navit.xml to tell navit where your map is, something like this:

I use emelfm2 for a filemanager, and when i open /home/user/.navit/ ... there is no navit.xml file, only a file called center.txt
