Thank you very much for your help! Regards!!

That is indeed surprising. Do you have a reliable GPS connection? And do you have a map of the area you are currently in?

Let me know if it still does not work, the I share my current ~/.navit directory...

It was truth. I could download everything except navit itself.

Code:

/home/user # apt-cache policy navit
navit:

  Candidate: 0.2.0~svn2916+dfsg.1-1maemo1
  Version table:

/home/user # apt-cache policy navit-graphics-qt-qpainter
navit-graphics-qt-qpainter:

Second one to show version differences

Okay got it, disable your testing and devel repo's (I think) and look under updates. There it is.

Thanks for post #511 @flandry, I got it to work now.

Apart from the UI, I don't see many changes, except that the OSD is now drawn properly! And it crashes less often, which is very nice indeed! It still does crash now and then though.

However, the old GTK interface doesn't work anymore with it for me. Any options that need to be changed?

This QML is very fluent and seems really nice, but like you mentioned, it's pretty crippled on the N900. Options drawn behind other options, options drawn off the screen, icon-sized search-results, etc.

I'd like the GTK interface back which was the default back when I tried it out in post #507

That one, though less pretty, worked better for me. Contrary to what you experienced, search results also worked normally as long as you start navit from a terminal and not from the desktop.

Either way, wether GTK or QML, any options you choose in settings still aren't saved. On reboot, settings are reset to default. Can this be fixed? Do I need to change a config option or is this some internal function?

Redsandro,

I use the "internal GUI" but getting QML stable would be preferable on the long run.

I am not aware of a method saving the settings. But you can adjust almost everying in /etc/navit/navit.xml (which is not as convenient, but works for me).

I've downloaded and installed the navit per the directions from the Bokomoho website. However NAVIT does not kick on the GPS and will not show my maps. under the actions there is no icon for my vehicle position. I'm using the same custom navit.xml file that I was using under Maemo 5 and all my other customizations to the GUI show up properly.

Does the N900 have a different address to the GPS that should be modified in the navit.xml file?

Are there known issues with the gui-internal mapping settings?

Thanks.

Never mind the offending line is

<vehicle name="Local GPS" profilename="car" enabled="yes" active="1" source="maemo">
On the 810/800 this is

source=" gspd://localhost" gpsd_query="w+xj""> which needs to be changed to match the above to work on 900. This should be pointed out for those who may have upgraded from a previous device.

@sondjata: You have to browse around and zoom in (or was it out?) randomly for the first time.

I think it's because navit has a terrible automatic map simplifier to make sure not too much poligons are drawn at the same time, which causes the map look all bue or all brown from certain points of view.
