Today I had to travel around by car, so I took my n900 with me to test navit.

Most of the routes were known by me, so it was no problem to find the target destinations. One big problem with navit is, that e.g. when you have to drive on freeway (german autobahn), that navit is reporting to drive left instead of saying "leave freeway".

I don't know if this is because of OSM or navit software itself.

Another problem is speech output even if you have to drive a long distance straight on. Often navit advices to turn around, even if the route is displayed correctly on the screen. Perhaps a map problem too.

All in all navit is nice to support your driving in an area you are familiar with. But when you are driving in an area you never were before I don't know if it's comfortable.


BTW: The Brodit car mount with flexble windshield mount does the job very well.
