GUI Internal has some issues (read more at [1]) to me, so I prefer using the GTK gui without all but the menu bar. Those are is my navit.xml gui parameters: <gui type="gtk" menubar="1" toolbar="0" statusbar="0" /> <osd enabled="yes" type="compass"/> <osd enabled="yes" type="eta"/> <osd enabled="yes" type="navigation"/> <osd enabled="yes" type="button" x="-96" y="-96" command="zoom_in" src="zoom_in.xpm"/> <osd enabled="yes" type="button" x="0" y="-96" command="zoom_out" src="zoom_out.xpm"/> </gui> It's quite good to me... Just two things: - The cursor should be bigger (mainly with a "bolder" outline) and its colors (I've set also color2) should be set to other values (more different to the main street colors). - The ETA and Navigation OSD boxes should be bigger too. It's quite hard to look at them while driving (I'm keeping the FR near my steering wheel but it's hard to read them anyway). Ah, I forgot to say that after this upgrade (I used the packages linked in the wiki before) navit seems to suggest me to turn too many times also if I'm still keeping the main way (using the Reiserplaner maps).
