With apologies for the delay, I've been away (was hoping to have this sorted before I went but never mind) I tried this this afternoon and didn't have much luck.

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.
I got this far, and got an error that said something was "broken".

I thought this might be what was causing the "Broken" problem but I couldn't find these files at all.

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.

I didn't get to the "Configuration Files, but the link to the "example" led to a directory of XML files and I don't know how to view those.

Your help is hugely appreciated, I'm sorry I'm not getting the hang of it.
