Navit: a car navigation system with routing engine.
Can someone help me to get a map installed in navit?
I installed navit using Muggin's pet package. It seems to have installed OK. Next I went to the navit wiki and downloaded an openstreet map of about 162 M. I have tried about every way I can to get the map into navit with no luck. I downloaded it to root, then copied it into usr/share/navit/maps.
I edited the navit.xml template for openstreetmaps : <mapset enabled="yes">
<map type="binfile" enabled="yes" data="/user/share/Navit/maps/osm_bbox_73.9, 40.5,-69.0,45.2.bin"/>
I guess I need clearer instructions than I find on the navit wiki.
Can someone please let me know how to get a map installed?

Hello WindUpToy,
I've still got the original .pet, and can upload it somewhere, but I wonder, if you're running a lupu version pup, if you could instead try the newer portable Navit:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/portabl ... 0/download
and let us know if it works OK?

Hello WindUpToy,
don't know what's happened there, as it definitely was available a few weeks back. In any case please check the first post of this thread, as I've re-uploaded them. Let us know how it goes, as I've only compiled the .pets and, having no GPS equipment, have no real ability to test.
cheers

I should just admit defeat with this.
I got the portable, made a pet, installed it, checked the installation.. all OK.
Not running from .desktop file.
In terminal..
bash: ./navit: cannot execute binary file
Checked permissions..
root +r+w+x
???????
that's the limit of my knowledge.
BTW, I have been searching for a GPS sensor.
In Aus I have only found one, a Garmin, about $98.
Around the world there are about 50, from ~$20 to $100.
Any clues, anyone?

It's not easy being incompetent.
Navit on Puppy Precise 5.5 is not showing the map correctly
Hello together!
I am using Puppy Precise 5.5 on an EEEPC 701 4G to use only the SSD. Everything is fine.
I have one problem at the moment. I testet Navit on Xubuntu 12.04 LTS very well. It is on an SD-card. Everything works how it has to do.
Now I want to use Navit on Puppy Precise 5.5., too. I installed Navit over the PPM manager and used navit 0.5 from the ubuntu precise repository (which is activated in the PPM manager). The installation was successfull. I can start Navit, too. I copied the modified navit.xml from xubuntu to the folder /etc/navit. The OpenStreetMap-file was copied into the folder /usr/share/navit/maps. The map-file was integrated in the navit.xml
But Navit doesn't show the map correctly. There is nothing to see. Only a rosé background.
What can I do? Does anybode have the navit 0.5 version on his/her puppy 5.5, too? Do I have to modify the navit.xml?
Thanks for replying.
Greetings, Tamás
