Excuse me for pouring my anger and frustration into this post, also excuse my cussing words - delete them if you like, I won't.
Linux is a joke. I mean, seriously - how can you expect me to treat it as a real alternative to any other OS out there, when I, who consider myself quite capable of dealing with most issues on Windows, spent 2 ****ing days trying to set up this Navit to work with freaking Garmin maps and am far from achieving my goal.
I mean, I am no Linux fan/expert, probably not even an amatuer, but I would hope that after spending so much time doing this I would get somewhere. But NOOOOO, I guess I should be using Linux at least for 2 years as my primary OS to figure this **** out.
Can you believe this? I actually went through around 24 hour of video lessons of introduction to Linux, learning some basic stuff - for what? It has no ****ing use to me if I have to spent hours upon hours figuring there is always something missing and that I am just not there yet. And holy **** - I know I took lessons recorded in 2004 - but noone - and I don't know if this is newer stuff - EVER mentioned anything about SVN or freaking CVS. User friendliness on scale 1-100? -10 period
So yeah, had to get this out. Now, I would appreciate some help ... I have a Nokia n810, probably corrupted installation of libgarmin somewhere (freaking svn DOES NOT WORK OUT OF COMMAND LINE!! - something about UTF8 error (?), so i had to install it using .deb package, which probably messed everything up). Anyway i could start over? and is there any tutorial - like step by step and not in form like this:
"Be sure to update navit to latest cvs
reconfigure and build navit. "
You might just as well say "Bla bla, bla, blah, blah bla ... BLA!"
****.
Well thanks for reading, sorry for my anger again and take care.
