this is the first time I'ev isntalled navit.

I uninstalled it using your script,

ran the

Reinstalled

still the same thing.

Anything else you can think of?
The only error message you have there that i don't get is the one about the missing freetype library. I checked and that file doesn't exist on my install, either--but doesn't cause an error. The developer mentioned he statically links freetype to work around broken maemo libraries but i don't know enough about it to know how that could be playing a role here. Let's see if anyone else runs into the same problem.

The only thing i can suggest for you to try at this point is installing the version in the Extras-testing repo to see if it works. Sorry.

Thanks for the help BTW.

But just an update, I've reflashed, only installed Open SSH and rootsh then your navit script, still no luck.

Is there anything I'm missing, like something I need before I run your script?

I appreciate the feedback. I only have my own device to compare so it's possible that something else i installed is providing the necessary files. I'm assuming it gave you the message about the map this time?

What would be helpful is if you uninstall using my script. Then, check to see what packages it complains about when you try to install the renderer:
sudo gainroot
dpkg -i navit-graphics-qt-qpainter_0.2.0+dfsg.1-1maemo1~3478_armel.deb
(you can use tab to complete the filename after the first few characters)

If it complains about anything missing besides various Qt libraries, that's probably the culprit.

If that doesn't yield anything useful, you can install the version from the extras repo and see if it works, which would be good to know.

It would also be helpful if i got feedback from anyone else who has tried it.

I will give it try when I get back to my phone tomorrow.

Thanks again

@Flandry: is libgarmin working on the build you're using? IINM it's not working in the latest, qtpainter enabled SVN build.

Here's something more direct to try first:
sudo gainroot
apt-get install libfribidi0

See if it actually installs something or just tells you it's already installed. If that's not installed it's probably the answer.

Apparently garmin is disabled on chollya's build. Libgarmin hasn't been ported to maemo is what he told me.

Edit: i pointed out to him woglinde's port and he said he'll try a build against it after lunch. :)

Free garmin maps now work. Use the updated install script here and follow the instructions in that post to modify the maps.xml file. The updated install makes sure libfribidi0 is installed, as well.

Edit: The navit project needs a complete set of svg map feature icons to complete the transition to the improved qml/qpainter version. If you are an artist, please consider helping out.

Done, can confirm that your script works swell and libgarmin is now working, at least with my local free garmin map (Malfreemaps)... Though now I have to figure out how to zoom in, search POIs and add precompiled POI files.

It also crashes when I select a precompiled POI as destination, oh well.

Thanks anyway flandry, now we're slowly but surely solving one of the few pet peeves I have left with my N900, the lack of proper maps.

Thanks for the feedback. If you are missing the zoom in button because you kept your original configuration, you can either remove the configuration directory and re-run the install script, or edit the icon filenames at the end of OSM.xml in .navit to refer to .svg files instead of .png files. Be aware that if you do the former you'll have to re-edit to add your map to the xml file and etc.

Clicking on the POI menu option gets my N900 busy doing something forever until i kill navit, so that's definitely in need of work. :D

I agree about the map/navigation comment. It's why i'm stirring the navit pot to see what happens. :cool:

Alright, reinstalled using the script with a empty .navit dir, buttons are showing up.

But for the life of me, Navit refuses to route to anywhere on Garmin maps, any idea why? Also does installing the qt4 libraries actually do anything?
