Navit on N900

Hi all,

is it possible to install Navit on N900?
I tried, but it misses libgpsbt dependency... do you know how to resolve it?

with: apt-get install libgpsbt

N900 returns me that libgpsbt is in other package, but I don't know which to choose!

Ignoring this lib it install (dpkg --ingore-depends=libgpsbt -i navit.deb), but at start it crashes and closes.

Thanks!

Re: Navit on N900

You need to rebuild it for the N900. I've tried but didn't have much luck doing that.

Re: Navit on N900

I compiled navit-trunk in the N900 SDK to generate arm-code.
Compiling was fine, there was a small lib glitch when compiling maptool.

I used

Code:

./configure --prefix=/opt/navit --enable-vehicle-maemo && make && make install

to put everything to /opt, create a navit.tgz, scp to the N900, unpack in /opt/navit and try to start with

Code:

 NAVIT_SHAREDIR=/opt/navit/share/navit  NAVIT_LIBDIR=/opt/navit/lib/navit /opt/navit/bin/navit -d 1 -c /home/user/.navit/navit.xml

This crashs the program when it has to render the map. Compiling this for the x86 target and running in the SDK is fine :-/ If I start without NAVIT_SHAREDIR (== without map-data) I have a GUI without map and no crash.

I used GTK-GUI and

Code:

                <vehicle name="Maemo" enabled="yes" source="maemo://any" retry_interval="2"/>

                <!-- source cound be on of "any","cwp","acwp","gnss","agnss" -->

                <!-- retry_interval could be one of "1","2","5","10","20","30","60","120" measured in seconds -->

in the XML-config file

Any ideas?

Ok, a step further. petabyte from merusers.de pointed me to
http://wiki.navit-project.org/index....chbox_for_N8x0
This site has now instructions to compile Navit for the N900.
With these fixes I was able to overcome the crash.
Navit starts, runs really slow (cache disables), GTK is usable, Internal too slow.
But does not focus according to my GSM postion. I'm indoor so no GPS avaliable.

Re: Navit on N900

i tried to compile it with a new version of freetype2 but configure does not find the maemo location api (in scratchbox). what am i doing wrong? did someone build navit without workaround?

Re: Navit on N900

Meanwhile I have it running :-) (Who need Ovi-Maps?)
I am in testing mode but a first install procedure for the experienced user is here.
We do this stuff in Scatchbox only the svg2png conversion is done on the desktop. Its easier than integrating the converter into arm-scratchbox

Code:

cd

wget http://mirrors.zerg.biz/nongnu/freetype/freetype-2.3.11.tar.gz

tar -xzf freetype-2.3.11.tar.gz

cd freetype-2.3.11

mkdir install

./configure --disable-shared --prefix=`pwd`/install

make && make install                                       



svn co http://navit.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/navit/trunk/navit/ navit

cd navit

./autogen.sh



LIBS=-lfib FREETYPE2_CFLAGS=`../freetype-2.3.11/install/bin/freetype-config --cflags` FREETYPE2_LIBS=`../freetype-2.3.11/install/bin/freetype-config --prefix`/lib/libfreetype.a ./configure --prefix=/opt/navit --disable-binding-python --disable-gui-sdl --enable-avoid-float --enable-avoid-unaligned --enable-svg2png-scaling="32,48,64" --enable-svg2png-scaling-flag="32,48,64" --enable-svg2png-scaling-nav="8,16,32,48,64" --disable-samplemap --disable-graphics-sdl --enable-vehicle-maemo --enable-debug    



make && make install

This version works - not fast but usable (300km routing in 40sec)
I only test this in real live when I have a TTS ready. So far I can only say, the programs get a GPS position. If turn by turn is good enough I dont know yet. It would be nice if Akashihi from navit wiki will write some stuff and share his experience . He is the coder of maemo5 vehicle support.

Bye

It conssts in separating the display and loading in two separate threads to provide a better framerate and smooth visual experience.
I don't know the QT<->GTK relations but I thaught this might be helpful/inspiring :)

Re: Navit on N900

Just found "navit 0.2.0~svn2916+dfsg.1-1maemo1" in extras-testing.

Program installs OK, no info on setting up or map locations, can't find xml file. Menus seem strange.

So we'll be able to use this as a full fledged gps application?
Will this be able to tell me to turn left or right like my gps app that I have on my phone right now?

Excuse my noobish questions new maemo and so far loving what i'm seeing.

Re: Navit on N900

I have downloaded Navit from extras-devel, download map material from http://maps.navit-project.org/download/ and extracted the navit.xml from http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...8&postcount=14 to /home/user/.navit . After that I have uploaded the downloaded map material to /home/user/.navit and edited the corresponding line in the navit.xml but sadly Navit closes itself after a few seconds :(

azz	2010-01-24 03:21

Re: Navit on N900

@bxbomber

basically YES! but the map is base on OpenMAP so the quality will varies. This is awesome works, guys. I hope this app will mature quickly so the others can get a taste of the power of an open community.

Same here. I also installed the one at extras-devel. I've downloaded the navit map from http://downloads.cloudmade.com/ and have modified the xml to its location. (I placed mine at /home/opt/navit/australia.navit.bin)

It launches, then closes not long after.

Thats fine, navit supports more language than maemo5. This is just a notice about.
Oh, there is a small bug in the uninstaller, compare install.sh and uninstall.sh and you can adjust or download the new version ;-)

2916 should be fine. Maemo5 support started in 2914

you can use "navit /path/to/navit.xml" to be sure your navit.xml is used
In navit.xml you have to set-up the path to your map-file.
If you do not adjust navit.xml navit does not work. In my version debugging is on, so you get some hints on the console.

Re: Navit on N900

If I want to start Navit with "navit /home/user/.navit/navit.xml" I get "navit:navit_init:no gui" but I have the following lines in the xml:

Code:

                <!-- Use one of gtk_drawing_area, qt_qpainter or sdl. For cegui, use opengl -->

                <graphics type="gtk_drawing_area"/>

                <!-- The following line let you select which graphical user interface you'd like to use.

                Options include internal (optimized for touch screen devices), gtk (useful for desktop computers) and cegui.

                If you don't like the internal gui, set enabled=yes for the following tag and enabled=no for the gui internal tag -->

                <gui type="gtk" enabled="yes" toolbar="0" menubar="1" statusbar="0" fullscreen="1" font_size="300" pitch="00"/>

What is wrong?

Re: Navit on N900

By default, it seems to use /etc/navit/navit.xml
So try modifying that.

DaSilva

2010-01-24 05:33

Re: Navit on N900

Thanks, but even without any navit.xml or a symlink it has the same behaviour. It loads, I can see the GPS connection icon, the GPS icon disappears and then Navit closes itself. I had it only running the first time but it didn't work anymore on the second run (no changes).

Do you got debug infos if you start navit from xterm?
