Thats fine, navit supports more language than maemo5. This is just a notice about.
Oh, there is a small bug in the uninstaller, compare install.sh and uninstall.sh and you can adjust or download the new version ;-)

Program installs OK, no info on setting up or map locations, can't find xml file. Menus seem strange.
2916 should be fine. Maemo5 support started in 2914

My build is 2920 (EDIT: now its based on 2922) with static linked freetype

Will this be able to tell me to turn left or right like my gps app that I have on my phone right now?

Excuse my noobish questions new maemo and so far loving what i'm seeing.
Yes, turn left or right and synthetic voice :-)

After that I have uploaded the downloaded map material to /home/user/.navit and edited the corresponding line in the navit.xml but sadly Navit closes itself after a few seconds
Please read the navit wiki:
http://wiki.navit-project.org/index....Navit#Foreword
you can use "navit /path/to/navit.xml" to be sure your navit.xml is used
In navit.xml you have to set-up the path to your map-file.
If you do not adjust navit.xml navit does not work. In my version debugging is on, so you get some hints on the console.
