Magic_doc: I cannot reproduce this (but I use slightly different navit.xml). Maybe try to modify the command used by to launch navit to redirect its output to a file and see what is going on?

I made some changes navit.xml I use and link to from navit wiki (mainly cosmetics - better formatting so that the diff from /etc/navit/navit.xml is clearer) and the OSD (added quit button and switching to 2D now zooms out to the whole route - I have yet to see if this is a good idea in practice as well). Here you go in case anybody is interested.
