I suggest you all try the new navit (http://download.navit-project.org/navit/openmoko/svn/navit-svn-2308_armv4t.opk) it has a few improvements which MAKE IT USABLE WITH OSM (seems like it was already usable with map&guide reiseplanner): *added a 20 MB cache for the FR *there was a bug until a few days ago which made the navigation to recalculate at every update (mostly with OSM)
time to calculate route is now acceptable and re-calculating also!
