Can't say if you're missing a step, but i just followed those instructions and it worked fine. Didn't spend much time in navit itself, but it did start up and i could pan around in the map.

Repeat the instructions from the beginning to make sure. There's no harm in it.

Also, be aware that the icon shows up as just a blue square at first, as is often the case. I imagine you mean there's no icon at all, but just thought i'd mention that.

Hi,

I ran the removal sscript and it gave me this message:

"package navit is not installed, so not removed
The following packages will be REMOVED:
navit-data navit-graphics-qt-painter navit-gui-internal"

I continued, but the message 'package navit is not installed' suggests something was wrong with the initial installation?

Then during reinstallation attempt, it ends with Success!, but has:

"errors encountered while processing:
navit_0.2.0+dfsg.1-1maemo1~3609_armel.deb"

Any help, most appreciated! (and thanks heaps for help so far!)

Rob

The error above the error encountered message is:

----
Unpacking navit (from navit_0.2.0+dfsg.1-1maemo1~3609_armel.deb)...
dpkg-deb (subprocess) : short read in buffer_copy (failed to write to pipe in copy)

Thanks

I have no idea what that means, but it sounds like it could be a corrupted package. You could try running the unistall script again, and then deleting the packages and configuration with these commands in a new xterm window:
rm -r .navit
rm -r navit*

Then install again. Sorry, have no better ideas than that. :/

If that doesn't work, send me a private message. This dialog has probably run on long enough in the thread.

Hey all

Just a heads up, the maps created by

http://wiki.navit-project.org/index.php/OpenStreetMaps

Didn't want to work for me - crashed the app during open process...

I turned to a package from http://downloads.cloudmade.com/ and all worked well.

Just incase anyone else has problems...

I just activated chollya.org repository and today it told me about new version,
thru fapman the upgrade process run flawlessly.
but when I try the newly installed navit, I lost the garmin map support (I guess so)
I checked the maps.xml and navit.xml, garmin still enabled. checked the map, the file exist.
someone can tell about this ?

update :
I downgraded into 30-aug version (from chollya.org) and that garmin maps appear again ..
maybe yes there s something wrong about garmin maps with that latest version ..
