What exactly could not be installed? Which error messages did you get?
The main error I was having before was it couldnt install the libspeech package.
I figured out that because I use Fast App manager this was having an effect on it as I had disabled all the extras repos etc on the default manager.
But I have as of now disabled all the repos in F.A manager and re-enabled them back in the default and added a new repo for navit and just installed via the app manager, its loaded up nw.
Just need to move the map file in and see how it works.

ok run into problem now tho, its taking ages for the gps to connect and not only that but if i go into Actions->Town and try to enter anything using on the onscreen keys then its not showing anything being typed, even tried the hw keyboard. I cant even change any other settings or do much or anything at all.
Any ideas? I have downloaded the correct the map file for UK and placed it into MyDocs

Go to a place where you can see as much sky as possible, start GPS recorder(should be preinstalled) and see if you can get a lock. You'll need at least 4 satellites to get a position (more is better).

Hi all,
I have created a navit wiki page http://wiki.maemo.org/Navit to be able to document the latest information in one place. Hopefully some day it's not necessary to read this long thread.
This page is now filled with my information to compile navit.
And a link to a deb file from my build.
This deb file installs a ready configured navit for Austria. So if you are happy with the sample map Linz and the language German then you don't need to configure anything ;-)
If somebody knows how we can put the deb file to extras repository please document it on the navit page.
I hope this is helpful for somebody.

I just installed navit and it seems to work. I haven't tried with GPS (ugly weather) but I can set up routes and the few I chose seem to be ok.
The interface is slightly lagging but it's acceptable.
What I have not found so far is setting up indirect routes (with one or more "via" points).
I use openstreetmap and I miss my home town.
Strangely my much smaller home village only some kilometers away is in the catalogue. 
It's on the map and the streets have correct names but I can't find it in the town menu. I guess I'll have to improve this map data.
@rpr:
The packages provided at chollya.org bring their own libfont_freetype.so. So if one uses these packages there is no need to compile it on your own. (just a hint)

But the forum allows only 483kB attachments and I'd need 3.9MB.
I have no own webspace and I don't know if a link to a one-click hoster would account as an "inappropriate link". Can somebody please shed a light on this?

e.g. for Austria
Code:
