Re: Navit on N900

@hara: Thank you for your navit-build - it`s running verry nice with garmin-map. I will try after the work to route at home. In the attachment the messages from navit for a short time.

Re: Navit on N900

Hi All!

First, many thxs for all explanations. Il feel myself happy to find a community.

These are not my first steps on Linux, but i'm not an expert. So, i've done the installation by these steps:
1) Download of navit on the repository and installed it
2) Same job for espeak
3) Took the xml configuration files for the OSD.
4) Reconfigured these to make French language and French map my standards.

works fine! But...
5) No icons, menus are locked. I get in the menus, no icons, and then no possibility to go back on screen. No fields to tape for use the routing system.

So:
- I tried to choose internal GUI, no change. Same problem with Gtk OSD (configured to "yes" in the Xml file)
- Icons are missing? Not for sure, founded many files in the opt/navit subdirectories.
- Maybe a bad path? I'm not sure, tried to modify... no effect.

So, here there my questions.
1) What is the correct path for icons? I'll put these files by myself (i'm a noob, but i know many commands;))
2) I've not found the Gtk package on extras, extras-devel repositories. Do i have to download, or am i making a mistake?
3) The french map is correctly (in 2D) shown... but, how to configure to have 3D? (not urgent... but better ^^)
4) Last question: what about making a listing (with .zips for helping) with different settings? I mean, for OSD settings, not for map ;).

PS: some details
- Last version downloaded from extras-devel
- XML files taked from the "Florida" example
- I'll do a french tutorial, if i get a "about to work" version

Thx for all!

(I'm french... so i assume my bad english! ;))

Re: Navit on N900

@magellan94: For missing icons in menu, you need to install librsvg2-common.

What comes to crashing I have no idea without any log info. I tested again with osm finland map between home and work (roughly 25km) without crashing. So I think it's pretty stable. For those it crashes, start navit from xterminal and paste the output here for some troubleshooting.

Re: Navit on N900

Can some one upload a step by step guide , for how we will install and use navit with garmin maps .
I am new in maemo and i do not have any experience.
Thanks a lot

No need to do anything with icons, they're all placed in correct place (/opt/navit/share/navit/xpm). Instead, you need to install librsvg2-common and it's dependencies from extras-devel/testing.

gtk-gui should come with packages I made. To enable it, you need to modify navit.xml. Check out navit-wiki for more info.

In navit, menu->settings->display(?)->3D or 2D

Navit wiki has a few example xml's for different layout on OSD, check it out. Then feel free to modify it to your liking.

DON'T download any navit-packages from repos, you'll probably do some harm this way. You only need the packages I provided in the rapidshare link. So best bet would be to uninstall all previously installed navit stuff and then install my packs.

Code:

dpkg -l | grep navit

and then purge those packages dpkg listed for you, for ex.

apt-get purge navit-data

Hope this helps.

Oh and thanks for the garmin map testers, glad to hear it works for some of you.

Yes it does a lot! Now, i can undestand many things i haven't understood before.

Then ... i'll download on rapidshare (no access to it from the office), and test it asap!

Thx!

Just another "stupid" question (i guess, i'm still reading the wiki and this line): the differents examples are adapted for another screens... so i think that we have to "correct" the values for the N900 screen... am i wrong?

Yes, minor tweaking is necessary. A tomtom-like layout would be very cool, maybe someone's interested in making "themes" for navit.

If there's interest, I could add some of those layouts from navit-wiki into the packages. There would still be needed some user interaction with the xml-files to select the desired layout.

Re: Navit on N900

I'll be involved in... if i make the standard navit version working :D

Then, i'll try to customize it to gain a "tomtom like" screen.

PS: Find that the rapidshare lock to 10 downloads per day (limited account). any other repository, or maybe i can create a target release for helping community?

Edit: got one on mediafire.com.

Maybe i can help by uploading your file on it?

This should still be available, as it's on my premium account on rapidshare.

Yep! That was a local problem (i think that there's too many users on this office network, getting DL on rapidshare :rolleyes: )

I'll upload it on mediafire, only for secure backup (and maintaining a good version everywhere for my own use :D )

I'm typing a small tutorial for each step to install navit correctly. I'll send it here, 'cause i think it's quite hard to understand everything for an absolute beginner:)
