Assuming you have the "locate" command, and by virtue, the "updatedb"
command, try:

locate roadnav

Which should give you a list of files...one of which might be the full
path to the executable you're looking for.

Then, you can either add that path to your profile, or you can specify the
full path.

If it doesn't find it, try, as root:

updatedb

Followed again by:

locate roadnav

If roadnav is not found, after that, then you probably need to retry the
installation.
