Note there is a new build of Navit on Chollya's site...
Version 3981, I believe. Working well on the N900...
When I get a chance I will upload an updated script & alternate instructions to install manually, for the control freaks like me (basically the script boiled down to command line entries). I also have a a few changes to the navit.xml & speech.xml (starting in fullscreen, following the GPS automatically & slower speech). I think they are useful, and will try to post instructions on how to do them without destroying your install...
There are a few other tweaks I'd like to have. If anyone knows how to edit the navit.xml to remove the fullscreen button on the OSD (but not the menu option), I'd love to know how...
Oh, & I'd love to know how to change the espeak voice to a female voice... if anyone can enlighten me...
PS: Got the female voice thing down... Will post that later,... Now just missing elimination of the fullscreen icon,...
Note: the fullscreen button causes 3981 to crash...

Thanks for the hint to the new version 
To remove the fullscreen button you have to search for a line similar to:
and remove it (or comment it out, if you want to try first 
)
To remove the fullscreen button you have to search for a line similar to:
Code:
<osd enabled="yes" type="button" x="0" y="0" command="gui.fullscreen=!gui.fullscreen" src="toggle_fullscreen.xpm"/>

Thanks for the tip...
That line is found in the OSD.xml file.
Here is Landry's script, updated for the latest (attached, below, I think)...
Install Instructions:
The speech.xml can be edited as follows to use a female voice:
To edit the navit.xml, I recommend installing Leafpad (text editor) and launching it from within XTerm (making a backup first):
Rather than go through all the edits, which can be found on the Navit Wiki, I have attached my navit.xml file (renamed navit-xml.txt & zipped)... To this post.
(Note: does not incl. removing the Fullscreen icon, per above)

Thanks for the heads up on the newer build, and the install script (even though I'm just gonna manually install the .debs over the old ones, assuming that's not a problem?), since the former is good to know in general and I know the latter helps plenty of people (just like the earlier install script helped me infinitely when I was less confident to install the earlier Navit build.
Would I want to get a new navit.xml file, or will the one from the older build work just fine? (Assuming I don't want the launch-in-full-screen change you made to the one attached in the above post?)

I initially used the one from before & edited mine. So, you should be fine...
2 requests from anyone who might know;
(1) Can anyone explain how one might add a 2D-3D toggle icon to the screen???, &
(2) Similarly, how would one go about adding an icon that would take you to bookmarks &/or the current coordinates menus???
Thanks...

As a general question: What is the overall experience concerning stability with recent navit versions on a fully updated N900?

are any of you all seeing the problem with navit announcing highways and highway exits? I'm seeing this on my N800 and cannot figure out why it's doing this. I keep the zoom pretty low so I can see exits coming up on the map, but an announcement would be nice.

All times are GMT. The time now is 08:03.
Install:
dpkg -i navitxxx.deb (for all the packages)
or
apt-get install navit (that resolves the dependencies)
Remove:
dpkg -r navit
This will remove the navit package (-r is short for --remove).
Note that you give only the 'navit' for --remove, while --install requires the entire .deb filename.
--remove will leave configuration files for the package on your system.
A configuration file is defined as any file you might have edited in order to customize the program for your system or your preferences.
This way, if you later reinstall the package, you won't have to set everything up a second time.
However, you might want to erase the configuration files too, so dpkg also provides a --purge option.
dpkg --purge navit will permanently delete every last file (for example *.xml) associated with the navit package.
That should be done for:
navit
navit-data
navit-graphics-qt-qpainter
navit-gui-internal
Missing files could be downloaded here:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/navi...s/navit/0.2.0/
Now have fun and solve your problems
