GROOVY! Thanx!

Re: Navit on N900
 

Hey folks. Managed to get the qt version working, build 3390 from chollya.org. However, I got the 'invalid garmin type' error with this on my maps.xml:

<map type="garmin" enabled="yes" data="/home/user/navit_maps/GMAPSUPP.IMG"/>

and a mapset accordingly set on navit.xml"

<!-- Mapset template for garmin maps -->
<mapset enabled="yes">
<map type="garmin" enabled="yes" data="/home/user/MyDocs/navit_maps/GMAPSUPP.IMG" debug="4"/>
</mapset>

Does anybody knows if that builds supports garmin maps?

Besides that, when starting navit I got this error:


navit:plugin_load:can't load '/opt/navit/lib/navit/autoload/libplugin_osso.so', plugin_init not found
navit:bookmarks_get_user_data_directory:creating dir /root/.navit
navit:plugin_load:can't load '/opt/navit/lib/navit/osd/libosd_core.so', already loaded
navit:map_new:invalid type 'garmin'

The later we know already. Any ideas on if these errors are normal?

And finally. where can I find the Navit.desktop so I can edit it and cease to use the cmd line to start the program?

Thanks so much in advance!

Re: Navit on N900
 

Go ahead and follow Magellan94's post. I've got the Venezuelan Garmin map working in Navit. Besides the steps indicated in that post, you'll need to edit maps.xml to look like:

<map type="garmin" enabled="yes" data="/home/user/MyDocs/navit_maps/GMAPSUPP.IMG"/>

Also, edit the following command lines in navit.xml:

<navit center="10 N -66 E" zoom="256" tracking="1" orientation="-1" recent_dest="10">

The above command line will set your initial position within the Venezuelan map.

<!-- Mapset template for garmin maps -->
<mapset enabled="yes">
<map type="garmin" enabled="yes" data="/home/user/MyDocs/navit_maps/GMAPSUPP.IMG" debug="4"/>

Finally, if you have a Windows OS, do not create the .navit directory in N900 using Windows (even though Windows managed to create the directory with the "dot" in front of "navit", it didn't work for me when copying the files in Xterminal), but rather create it directly in the N900 using Xterminal.

I hope the above helps, and for sure I can confirm that the Garmin Venezuelan map (venrut) works in Navit.

Re: Navit on N900
 

esiravegna I haven't tried Garmin maps on build 3390. I can confirm they work on build 3048.

Re: Navit on N900
 

you can find it in /usr/share/applications/hildon/

Exec=osso-xterm -e navit
works fine
;)

Re: Navit on N900
 

Thanks for your replies, folks!

@gimgag, I've tried the 3048 build as well, however, I found the 3390 QT based build to be much faster, hence my interest on getting garmin working on that :)

@willi_iam: I'll do that, thanks again.

Anyone else can confirm if 3390 works with garmin maps?

Re: Navit on N900
 

I installed Navit from the app manager. Things seem setup differently from Magellan's post in March.

Can you guys provide a Howto setup the one from app manager?

Re: Navit on N900
 

Donwload Navit files from the link indicated in Magellan's post. I'm not sure if the Navit build you download from Application Manager is older than build 3048 (the one used in Magellan's post).

Re: Navit on N900
 

Hey, I have followed Magellan's post. Though it seems that Navit doesn't show anything up my screen. Navit launches and it's all white.

launching it thru xterm
here are the things i see

map_rect_new_textfile unable to open textfile /home/user/.navit/bookmark.txt
navit:vehicle_new:invalid type 'gpsd' ( i know it's not this)
navit: main_real: Using '/etc/navit/navit.xml'

did i do something wrong? need help
map name: PH_Luzon.bin
used xterm (vi) to edit the xml files


thanks in advance!

Re: Navit on N900
 

The latest version (0.2.0+dfsg.1-1maemo1~3446) of navit from http://www.chollya.org/navit is broken:

Icons have 0 byte size. As workaround I extraced the icons from the N8x0 navit package and uploaded them to

http://bokomoko.de/~rd/xpm.tgz

Extract them to

/opt/navit/share/navit/xpm/

and the package should work ok.
