NavIt on Nokia N900 by ChrisPZV
NavIt is a free offline navigation programm. It is under heavy development, so
there's a good chance that the actual version available for your environment is
full of bugs or even does not run. In fact the version for Maemo5 on N900
available on extras/extras-devel is really outdated and unstable. But one can
find newer deb-package here. Hence
this packages comes with a "not so optimized" on screen display, does not
include all icons and the tutorial contains several errors I created this guide
for you with an easy install solution. You will get version 4347 from trunk of
NavIt which runs pretty good! It is renamed to "navit-svn4347" so its files will
not be overwritten by an update accidentally.
You just need to activate repositories "extras", "extras-devel" if not done
yet and tap the "navit-svn4347" install button below.
Note for those who have had installed "navit-svn3684" from this site before: Just uninstall this version using your favorite application manager before installing this (new) one.
Step 1/2:  tap here to activate 'extras'
tap here to activate 'extras-devel'
(optional if not done yet)
Step 3: tap here to install 'navit-svn4347'
You may also want to install using Faster Application Manager, the repository is set up like this:
Configuration (execute as 'user'):
If you have an individual navit.xml in /user/home/.navit, just remove it to make NavIt prefer /etc/navit/navit.xml delivered with this package:
|
rm -rf /home/user/.navit/navit.xml
| Code:
create a speech.xml config file as follows (change language code to your needs):
|
echo '<speech type="cmdline" data="echo '%s' | sed s/\\./Komma/g | espeak -a 175 -vde+m2+croak" cps="15"/>' > /home/user/.navit/speech.xml
| Code:
create a maps.xml config file as follows (change path to your map binary file):
|
echo '<map type="binfile" enabled="yes" data="/home/user/MyDocs/Maps/Navit/osm_germany.bin"/>' > /home/user/.navit/maps.xml
| Code:
Note: You can download a map binary to your N900 at http://maps.navit-project.org/.
