I'd like to have navit display the destination street name, so I remember where I am going. What is the variable name to use in the navit.xml file?

I'm not sure what the variable is if it exists, perhaps gerritv knows or can find out if it does.
The GTK version can be setup with the same osd display info. It has a feature called "Roadbook" which will show the whole route. This is available from either the menu or toolbar.
Perhaps this can be added to the internal gui menu system??? I think it'd be nice to see in there.
I'd also like to see the current street name whether or not I'm navigating somewhere.

Hi bluechalk
That is described on the wiki at http://wiki.navit-project.org. Presently the descriptions under N8x0 section but it should/will move to the general config page. (since the OSD config applies to all platforms, not just N8x0)
[edit] mmn just re-read along with lemmyslender post, not sure if destination is available..... The new code is in osd-core.c is smaller but to me not quite as obvious to modify. And I have larger challenges with the Town button pages (search etc.)
I suggest either joining on #navit or creating well worded trac entries @ http://trac.navit-project.org.

Has anyone successfully used GUI Internal with Town search to start routing?

Thanks casper27
I did figure out that the country icons don't work for the N8x0. (N8x0 osso libs don't handle svg files well at all). When I add .png versions, then I get a Country icon to click on. And I can move from default GB to CA. But then I skip Town and go to Street, with nothing found there.
OSM should have boundaries for each town, they donot recommend using is_in tags expect as last resort. Things are probably better in European maps.

i have used town search to find places using gui_internal here in the UK, I've also started adding is_in tags to towns I care about. will see whether I'm getting it right when i try new maps.

Hi dwould
cool, of course you are in the default country, we are just in the colonies :-) I will make a build available on my blog this weekend. The navit team are very busy and so my N8x0 specific fixes are not in SVN yet. At least you guys will see the benefit in the meantime. My build will include country icons so that we can see and change the Country in Towns menu.

I've successfully run the town search (in several northeastern states) using the CloudMade navit.bin maps at http://downloads.cloudmade.com/north...es#breadcrumbs. It works for all the cities that I have tried, except for Baltimore, MD.
But, I'm having trouble with Garmin maps using the n800 binaries at navit-project.org. I get the error
navit:map_new:invalid type 'garmin'
from
<map type="garmin" enabled="yes" data="/media/mmc1/navit/garmin/10601565.img"/>

and in my maps.xml
<xi:include href="/media/mmc2/maps/navit/settings/poi.xml"/>
(so it does work with "nested" include statements)
This makes it easy to modify settings quickly and mostly my desire to simplify having one internal gui file and one gtk file both pointing to most of the same included files (change in an included file changes both internal and gtk setups).
If gerritv is correct and we can improve performance by removing some sections of the layout portion, setting up some includes would make it easy to quickly remove or add-in large sections at a time. In fact I may do that this weekend anyway.
