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).
