Maps are on the device

So we'll be able to use this as a full fledged gps application?
Will this be able to tell me to turn left or right like my gps app that I have on my phone right now?

Excuse my noobish questions new maemo and so far loving what i'm seeing.

Re: Navit on N900

I have downloaded Navit from extras-devel, download map material from http://maps.navit-project.org/download/ and extracted the navit.xml from http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...8&postcount=14 to /home/user/.navit . After that I have uploaded the downloaded map material to /home/user/.navit and edited the corresponding line in the navit.xml but sadly Navit closes itself after a few seconds :(

Re: Navit on N900

@bxbomber

basically YES! but the map is base on OpenMAP so the quality will varies. This is awesome works, guys. I hope this app will mature quickly so the others can get a taste of the power of an open community.

Same here. I also installed the one at extras-devel. I've downloaded the navit map from http://downloads.cloudmade.com/ and have modified the xml to its location. (I placed mine at /home/opt/navit/australia.navit.bin)

It launches, then closes not long after.

Thanks for your work! I get the following error messages when I run the install.sh file:

Thats fine, navit supports more language than maemo5. This is just a notice about.
Oh, there is a small bug in the uninstaller, compare install.sh and uninstall.sh and you can adjust or download the new version ;-)

Program installs OK, no info on setting up or map locations, can't find xml file. Menus seem strange.

2916 should be fine. Maemo5 support started in 2914
http://navit.svn.sourceforge.net/vie...&revision=2914
My build is 2920 (EDIT: now its based on 2922) with static linked freetype

you can use "navit /path/to/navit.xml" to be sure your navit.xml is used
In navit.xml you have to set-up the path to your map-file.
If you do not adjust navit.xml navit does not work. In my version debugging is on, so you get some hints on the console.

Re: Navit on N900

If I want to start Navit with "navit /home/user/.navit/navit.xml" I get "navit:navit_init:no gui" but I have the following lines in the xml:

Code:

                <!-- Use one of gtk_drawing_area, qt_qpainter or sdl. For cegui, use opengl -->

                <graphics type="gtk_drawing_area"/>

                <!-- The following line let you select which graphical user interface you'd like to use.

                Options include internal (optimized for touch screen devices), gtk (useful for desktop computers) and cegui.

                If you don't like the internal gui, set enabled=yes for the following tag and enabled=no for the gui internal tag -->

                <gui type="gtk" enabled="yes" toolbar="0" menubar="1" statusbar="0" fullscreen="1" font_size="300" pitch="00"/>

What is wrong?

Re: Navit on N900

By default, it seems to use /etc/navit/navit.xml
So try modifying that.

Re: Navit on N900

Thanks, but even without any navit.xml or a symlink it has the same behaviour. It loads, I can see the GPS connection icon, the GPS icon disappears and then Navit closes itself. I had it only running the first time but it didn't work anymore on the second run (no changes).

Re: Navit on N900

Do you got debug infos if you start navit from xterm?
