your deb does install and is faster then the svn-2001 i could get from dowloads.navit but i think that gerrit's patches aren't included, while the deb from gerrit's blog should include them. i think so because your navit doesn't close properly by tapping the x in the right up corner (navit leves gps on).
thanks a lot for your deb, i will test while driving home

Gosh, miss a day or two around here and everything changes.

dwould thanks for download and updating your osd settings. I updated to 2001 this morning and none of the osd controls worked. Popped in here, little reading, little tweaking, and everything works again.

I haven't done any looking yet, but what other color settings are there? Did they change the announcer_toggle as well? Should we compile a list of the OSD controls on the wiki - apart from the examples?

Hi
Sorry, it was late when I built that .deb package, obviously messed it up. I will do another tonight, I know some of my patches are getting into SVN during the day. My tool set on Ubuntu for gzip etc is not totally familiar to me yet.
I think by end of day the automated builds will have all of my changes. Which is a good thing because for the next 3 months I will have little or no internet connectivity.

Lemmyslender, it is important for us to update the main Configuration and OSD pages first, then update the N8x0 specific page afterwards. Most or all of the OSD changes apply to all platforms.
Main wiki pages are at: OSD and Configuration.
we should probably use the N8x0 page for 'what works best' on our screen and bit depth. (Dwould noted that our displays are only 16 bit which affects how well you can use the transparency etc)


Gerrit

I've just updated the deb available from my server:
http://demigoth.org/files/navit_0.1.1-1_armel.deb
it has svn-2001 with Gerrit's fixes. Transparency now works properly (by setting a value between 00-ff at the end of a color setting (00 is transparent ff is opaque)

Awesome work guys the new build is so much faster on the menus and just seems so much more responsive.
The only thing is I copied Daniels osd off his blog (Layout 3) and everything looks great but the zoom out button does not appear. The zoom in button is there and working. I have tried moving it about the screen using different co-ordinates but to no avail. Anyone else having this issue?
Also I still cannot get the routing to work for Cyprus OSM, I can change the deafualt country on the town menu by pressing left and then up on the D pad which takes you to country but the next menu up is street instead of town and I cannot for the life of me get it to either change or recognise a town. Any one know ho to put one of those is_in tags into the map or config to see if that works. Again great work.

casper27 you may have hit a timing window between me updating with one build that had that problem, and me updating with another that I believe does not.
basically a small bug stopped the png conversion happening for zoom_out and so the png isn't there. I hope if you take the version that's there now you'll be fine.

@dwould
Uninstalled and reinstalled and there it is, cheers my friend and thanks for the prompt response.
If only I could get this routing issue sorted I would be truly happy but the work gone into this is astounding from the first initial build :-)

dwould-

Reading your blog, I adjusted my layout to include your skinny blue line on top of the road for routing. Very nice.

I do have one change for you to consider. Looking through the layout, the last one "T@H" I saw a section that appeared to increase the text size of the road names. I had modified the last several items of the streets section for bigger text. I inserted your routing changes just above this and the names show up on top of the route (as suggested based on drawing order). Here are the modified lines I added (I don't think values above 15 for text size worked for me):

<itemgra item_types="highway_exit_label" order="10-">
<circle color="#000000" radius="3" text_size="14"/>
</itemgra>
<itemgra item_types="highway_city,highway_land,street_4_cit y,street_4_land,street_n_lanes" order="10-18" zoom="0">
<text text_size="15"/>
</itemgra>
<itemgra item_types="street_2_city,street_2_land,street_3_c ity,street_3_land,ramp" order="11-18" zoom="0">
<text text_size="15"/>
</itemgra>
<itemgra item_types="street_nopass,street_0,street_1_city,s treet_1_land" order="12-18" zoom="0">
<text text_size="15"/>
</itemgra>


I don't know if zoom="0" is necessary. From what I read, it *should* make the road names visible at *all* zoom levels.

Lemmyslender, thanks for the tip, I've updated the info on my blog. (and on my device).. just off to update the wiki..
