Does anyone know any new news about Navit? I got it working and think it's fantastically close to being awesome.
I've seen that the build generally available is from the beginning of the year, and there was an update in July posted to a webpage indicating that there is work going on to refactor and generally rework for the n8*0. I'd love to know how this is going, whether there is anything the community can do to help?

there are a couple of things I'm interested in, namely a display layout more suited to the n810, eg larger display for speed/distance etc. And (in a dream world?) 3d view.

Also I was curious as to the use of flite for reading out directions. I guess I understand that this is easy and flexible. But I have to say I prefer the quality you get from the TOMTOM approach of just providing a bunch of wav files of a real person saying the relatively limited number of commands needed.

I'm really looking forward to the day I can truly use openstreetmap based gps navigation and I think navit is very good and very close. but I crave news, is it still being worked on? how is it going? could people help?
I've had a go at setting up navit compilation in scratchbox but am yet to succeed. Anyone tried getting a bleeding edge version running?
