Thanks Cleve (Grandpa).
If you all don't mind let's keep to the Subject. IOW [Linux forum][NAVIT]......too much time jumping around. What I mean is put it in the right place. I'm not complaining just doing housework.
GPS and Linux is confusing enough already.
For instance:
I found a distro that would run USAPhotomaps out of the box and M$ closed the map repository. Little did they know I already OWNED the county. (7 1/2 minute USGS Topos)on a 8Gb stick. But it only works for me.
If you'all have time and you have Navit posts...please cut and paste here. Please.
Open Map Chest would be another (Subject:)
OT already.
POST NAVIT RELATED ITEMS HERE. Please......dual post if necessary.....or add a link.

Re: NAVIT AND LINUX
I tried to load navit..
could not figure out where to put the maps???? zero documentation found online as far as linux goes.
It's not looking good to me....Way too much dinking around...Need to edit files before it will see the maps???

My post in the other thread should explain things. If you're willing to put in the effort, I'll gladly help.

Re: NAVIT AND LINUX
Start by downloading a map file for your desired region, naming it osm.bin then placing it exactly here:
/usr/share/navit/maps/osm.bin (create the "maps" directory if necessary")
Replace your
/etc/navit/navit.xml
with the file attachment below. I'm pretty sure it will work if gpsd recognizes your device.
--edit-- To resolve permissions issues I think I should re-write this by storing map files in user home dirs instead of /usr/share. Makes it easier for file manager GUIs.
/usr/share/navit/maps/osm.bin (create the "maps" directory if necessary")
Code: Select all
sudo mkdir /usr/share/navit/maps
/etc/navit/navit.xml
with the file attachment below. I'm pretty sure it will work if gpsd recognizes your device.
