a couple of navit questions...
first, i just tried this again after giving it a shot about a year plus ago--impressed with the progress, and it's nice to see such continued active development.
1. is it possible to import a gpx route a la MM or roadmap? the routing in navit still isn't quite ready for prime time, and even on the commercial systems i oftentimes prefer my own route.
2. is it possible to configure the logic with which navit routes? preferential highway v. back roads for example, or (better yet) set a minimum speed limit? don't know if the osm maps contain that info. navit routed me on a 70 mi trip through every side street possible. estimated TOA 5 hours, instead of the actual 1 1/4 that it takes.
3. is there a parameter for adjusting the zoom level at which street names are displayed? often, i need to zoom way in to get that info; i suppose this is to speed rendering.
4. any imperial measurements for us yanks? or am i just going to have to learn how far a km REALLY is?
5. having trouble finding addresses. when i click "town" it defaults to the uk. i can change "country" to us, but it only shows up after typing "united". then i must go back to actions menu (since the next entry is then for street, and nothing shows up) select "town" again, at which point i can type a city. my city, however, doesn't show up (it's the capital of the state, so it should). i have no idea how to dig into the osm data to see where the problem is, or how to contribute.

thanks!
