Hello, here is an example of navit.xml using Mapear (garmin) maps (www.proyectomapear.com.ar)

http://www.tecdencia.net/navit/downloads/navit.xml

Set your coordinates in the Navit tag so when the program starts it will show your location. Example:
Code:
<navit center="4808 N 1134 E" zoom="256" tracking="1" cursor="1" orientation="0">
Also, remember to select Maps -> Projection -> Garmin if you are using garmin maps.

I hope this helps.

As for speech, is it just 'flite %s'?
Hi, it's flite -t '%s'
I uploaded a sample configuration, please take a look at it.

Thank you for the sample config.

I think I figured out the source of my confusion. In another thread someone had suggested that Navit could use the Wayfinder maps that come on the N810's internal memory card; I had those mixed up with Garmin maps.

ajf: I was using the map file obtained from Garmin City Navigator Europe NT 2008, couldn't get it to display.

Wonder if the Mapear Garmin maps are somewhat different than this one.

Thank you for your reply. After posting my question, I have gone thorough your first post and successfully installed Navit. I even downloaded maps from 'http://maps.navit-project.org/download/' and loaded them to one of my SD Card on my N800. Only thing I don't know is how to edit the Navit.xml file and change the maps path to the SD card. Please help me with this.

One more clarification, when we start the Navit, it won't launch the GPS application automatically, we need to launch it from the Control Panel, right?? Correct me if I am wrong.

Thank you.

I wasn't able to get it communicate with my GPS receiver (which is working fine per Wayfinder's Map). Getting a location fix in control panel crashes this app the moment some satellites are shown as in use. Same thing with Map I started this app while Map was running hoping that that would work, share gps data perhaps, but no way, the moment Map acquires the fix, this app crashes. Oh well the hope springs eternal.
