yes, there is a qml gui but the devs seems to stop the support or is buggy. anyway you can find and try the qt and qml packages from bokomoko.

check also http://wiki.test.navit-project.org/index.php/Gui_QML

and try with <gui type="qml" enabled="yes" source="/opt/navit/share/navit/skins" icon_src="/opt/navit/share/navit/xpm/" />

I just find it interesting that back in 2010, when I did a review of existing open source navigation apps before starting to work on modRana, the Navit configuration files were a total mess and the default configuration was unusable (blank map).

Sure, after manually fiddling with the humongous XML configuration file for long enough you could usually make it display something on the screen.

I would really not expect back then the situation to stay the same 5 years later.

The navit dev team is very aware of that UX is currently bad while the engine is pretty ok. The situation is difficult as there are currently just 2..3 persons with limited amount of time and the code is pretty legacy and complex.
Everybody is welcome to contribute code, support, docs, ....

Well, only the default gui sucks, I think that are lots of guis around the net thta work quite well - and the ability to set the gui exactly like it is good. I for one think that navit looks much better than anything [graphically] based on Google maps.

In a way, this could be a distribution job to provide a sane configuration, all that is needed (the include mechanism) is pretty much in place judging from my experience and the thread linked.

Thank you,

sorry i just realize now you are talking about gtk-gui, me i'm using internal-gui with gtk-drawing-area and buttons show the images (so maybe is the best solution right now, since qml and gtk-gui are buggy at the moment)

Thank you!

Can you tell me why navit complains about "distance_metric=50" in announcements in navit.xml? I tried changing them to "distance=100", or "metric_distance=250" - still same 270 errors about attributes-something. Not sure if it means anything or not, but 270 errors do not sound good.

And, is there an official github for gtk-gui of Navit? I would rather debug it, if I can - and when it's debugged, probably create a hildon-gui, with more finger-friendly menus and buttons.

Best wishes.
