Just came across another issue:
a friend of mine installed navit 0.5.0 from scratch out of http://www.chollya.org-Repository
and the menu-icons were missing completely.
He found out, that installing librsvg2-2 and librsvg2-common solved that issue.
Would it be possible to add these two to the navit-dependencies to prevent future problems?

CU and merry christmas!

Which gui are you using? I have not installed these packages and navit works well (though from bokomoko.de):

Code:

~ $ apt-cache policy librsvg2-2
librsvg2-2:
  Installed: (none)
  Candidate: 2.26.0-1maemo1
  Version table:
     2.26.0-1maemo1 0
        500 http://repository.maemo.org fremantle/free Packages

maybe navit-qml is not compatible with the cssu qt-library? anyway can you address the problem on the irc channel #navit, see
http://wiki.navit-project.org/index.php/Contacts#IRC

If there is an outcome which improves the package, please let me know.

Sorry for the late answer- forgot to subscribe the thread

I am using the internal gui:

Code:

<gui type="internal" enabled="yes">

Complete navit.xml can be found here

Tnx & Bye

The same here. Reverted back from http://bokomoko.de/~rd/maemo/ to chollya's repos.
But I would be fond of a navit-version using qt to be a little more responsive using the qt-libraries of n900.
A combination of the smoothness of cloudgps and the offline-routing-capability of navit, that would be nice wouldn't it?

I'm afraid I'm a bit of a n00b and my learning curve is very steep. I do try to read things before asking for help and I've managed reasonably well so far, but this one's got me. The more I read about the different installations the more confused I'm getting.

If I understand it at all, I need to install the "libgarmin" before I can install the main "Navit" application, and I also need a map package. Is that right?

The problem is that I'm seeing several references of places to go to get the packages and some of them are old ones and some of them don't seem to work at all.

I did find this page...

http://maemo.org/downloads/product/OS2008/navit/

But that doesn't seem to be quite right, (maybe it doesn't have the "lib" package) but I'm not sure how to fix that or even if it is still the correct current version.

I've found this one...

http://maps5.navit-project.org/

For the maps (I think), and at least I have found my home etc.

I can't find the "lib" things (libgarmin?), is there an alternative lib or am I missing something?

Would someone be kind enough to point me to the right things, and give me some tips on getting it working smoothly?

Many thanks

Charles

Hello Charles,

please have a look at this page where I summarized my installation of navit on n900. Sorry, it is available in german language only, but should be quite self-explaining.

The place to get the maps is right, I recommend you to download everything you need until 1st of April, because there will be a licence-change in the OSM-Project which could cause some gaps in the map- so it is save to use the "old" but complete card for a while until everything is mapped under the new licence.

Please feel free to ask if you are facing further problems.

CU Michael

It probably would be self explanatory if I understood Either the code OR the German. Unfortunately I understand neither so it means nothing at all.

I did try Google Translate, but that doesn't like the "Https" server and returns a "URL" invalid error, so no help there either.

Thanks for trying though.

No problem, then I try to explain step by step:

1. You have to add the repository in the application-manager (wether the original one or Faster Application Manager that I prefer):

Code:

Name: navit
URL: http://www.chollya.org/navit/
Distribution: /
Components:

Then update the package list.

2. Then install the package navit (Version 0.5.0 is the latest one), the libgarmin will be installed too cause it is included in the repos.

3. Then you will have to install librsvg2-2 and librsvg2-common too because otherwise there will be no icons in the main menu

4. Now you have to copy the configuration template to your home. Open the xterm and do this:

Code:

cd /home/user
mkdir .navit
cp /etc/navit/navit.xml /home/user/.navit/navit.xml

You will find my configuration files as an example here.

Of cause you will need a map a place it where you have specified it in the config.

I hope this will help you and feel free to ask for further information.
