Re: Navit GPS (and libgarmin) for os2008
 

A simple trick to get Navit to center on your maps... Assuming you have your map files correctly specified in Navit.xml...

Using the internal Gui, click anywhere on your blank screen. Go to Actions and then Town. Type in the name of a town that should appear within your map data. Click on the town name once it fully appears in the list. This will bring up a menu of things you can do with that location. Click "View on Map".

You should be good to go...

For more information you can check out the following wiki page:

I have added an example navit.xml and navitOSD.xml file to the wiki. Refer to the instructions on the link below. That should get you started.

Just right click and select "save as". You don't want to view the file, you just want to save it. I will add a note in the wiki to reflect as such.

Re: Navit GPS (and libgarmin) for os2008
 

where do i save it and how do i make it view maps on navit?

i'm sorry i'm asking you so many questions but i just don't get it.

thank you so much for all your help.

Okay, I updated the wiki with more step by step instructions. I hope that will clarify things for you. Let me know if it still doesn't make sense...

Ok, dumb question of the day. How long until Navit is beta quality? I want to try to start using it soon.
