I only tried it once but this was months ago and it worked not so good (quite slow). Since than i always compile navit myself from source directly on my freerunner (thanks to all the gcc tools in debian for freerunner). It compiles about half an hour but i can use every compile switch i like and it always runs quite fast. At the moment i think this is the best way for a fast and optimized version of navit. And with every new navit version (when i'm in the mood to update my version) i also compile "osm2navit" on my pc from the same source package. Than i create a new map file in bin format because i read that with newer navit versions sometimes new features were added to the map format which i don't want to miss. :) Ciao, Rainer _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
