Ah - interesting...
I am currently looking deeper into Navit and have it mostly working now.
I am now using the navit maemo packages from
http://www.chollya.org/navit/
Just add it to your catalogues with distribution /
To actually use a map file you need to add a maps.xml to your user's
homedir.navit, like this
<map type="binfile" enabled="yes"
data="/media/mmc1/MapsNavit/osm-germany.bin"/>
(you can add multiple of those entries)
Map files can pretty easily be generated from here:
http://maps.navit-project.org/download/
Attached is a .tar.gz (hopefully the ML will let is pass) which contains
a nice UI for navit - just extract it in the user's .navit directory
(and if you d this as root please remember to change ownership and
permission to the user).
By now I have a nice map display, working with the internal GPS,
following the driving direction (auto rotating the map) and even 3D view ;)
What I am still missing is the GUI as shown here:
http://wiki.navit-project.org/index.php/OSD_Layouts#nibbler01_v0.2_for_Netbook_.26_widescreen
(the nibbler UI is basically the same for N900 and the original meant
for netbooks).
Maybe this helps!
