Hi Desin,

I have tried to download the Navit from maemo repo. Is that the one that you are having? I keep getting the error "invalid type 'garmin'". did you install any driver for garmin map in order to make it work?

Thanks.

i have managed to make it run already. The one in the repo has no garmin enabled. Got to follow magellan94 link. But the interface and reaction is not as good as expected.

Guys,
I'm trying to get some Venezuelan maps on my N900. So far, I got the GPSYV.net (free) maps.
These maps are in Garmin NT format, so I have a bunch of .img files corresponding to the whole Venezuela.
Question is, will Navit read them? Do I need to change anything or just copy the maps into navit_maps?
All help (apart from Magellan's post) will be deeply appreciated (big noob here).
thanks in advance!

can you post here your navit.xml and maps.xml ? they should be in /home/user/.navit

Thanks adhiesumitro.
Sorry I can't upload the files, because I haven't installed Navit as yet!
I just want to be sure I'll be able to use the maps (.img Garmin NT format), before going through the installation part.
However, I plan to follow step by step Magellan94's post (http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...&postcount=275), so my files will look exactly like those.
Cheers

Hi,
Been watching this thread for a long time off and on.

I have Sygic and Mappero that work OK.

Would I want Navit also or instead?

Can someone compare and contrast the various GPS SW available and why you guys like Navit?

Re: Navit on N900
 
hey everyone,

I'm trying to get Navit for Garmin to work on my N900 but it doesn't. I followed all the steps with the .xml files and even the step from the Navit Garmin Wiki but it's doesn't work. When i start Navit from my N900 the gps picks up and it crached. I don't know how to fix it.

Can someone help me by giving me if possible all the rigth step to install it with the garmin map? I will really appreciate that.

Cheers Yanness
