Thanks for trying though.
No problem, then I try to explain step by step:

1. You have to add the repository in the application-manager (wether the original one or Faster Application Manager that I prefer):

Code:
Name: navit
URL: http://www.chollya.org/navit/
Distribution: /
Components:
Then update the package list.

2. Then install the package navit (Version 0.5.0 is the latest one), the libgarmin will be installed too cause it is included in the repos.

3. Then you will have to install librsvg2-2 and librsvg2-common too because otherwise there will be no icons in the main menu

4. Now you have to copy the configuration template to your home. Open the xterm and do this:

Code:
cd /home/user
mkdir .navit
cp /etc/navit/navit.xml /home/user/.navit/navit.xml
You will find my configuration files as an example here.

Of cause you will need a map a place it where you have specified it in the config.

I hope this will help you and feel free to ask for further information.
