I agree, + , - , fullscreen would be better from the osd for driving. I was really thinking that I would leave +/- on the screen, but remove the fullscreen button. I don't usually change that when driving, mostly when testing at home.

Thanks for the help with the new "text" boxes. I got it setup and working for the drive home yesterday, but dwould beat me to posting.

Navit is really getting to be usable. I think that the max speed displayed for a street is coming from the street/speed in navit.xml. I find that this is inaccurate on most of the street I regularly travel.. For instance, the main road I travel from my house to the expressway has a 40mph speed limit. It is listed as "street_1_city" from OSM which is then defined as having a 10kph limit in navit. I actually changed that to 30kph for routing purposes.

Edit

I would hope that there are enough guts in the hardware to work well. TomTom's and other GPS run similar hardware and are pretty smooth. Even my Palm TX w/ 480x320 and minimal ram worked well.

I wonder if it is just the screen resolution that is hurting us. Is it possible to use the hardware scaling features to get 400x240 instead of 800x480 (as an option perhaps)?
