I need OFFline maps. How do I get Monav ( or anything) to just give me simple offline maps? You know, as if I had an atlas stored on my n900?
i got the strong impression that you have never really read anything about the software you are attempting to use.

- navit's gui needs to be configured in the navit.xml (or included xml file)
- offline maps have to be downloaded and made known to navit and monav -- if you don't do that, what do you expect to happen?
- monav maps need to be prepared by you, since there's no usable provider -- latest monav available for n900 requires maps more rcent then the ones linked to from the monav hp

btw: monav is imo certainly the way to go. it's faster, it's better and the gui is so much better, that i don't even know, where to start.
