Hi,

I can't see no maps in navit at all. What I did:

1) Installed navit
2) Created and downloaded bin file with maps from http://maps5.navit-project.org/
3) Updated /etc/navit/navit.xml to point to the downloaded maps:

<mapset enabled="yes"> <map type="binfile" enabled="yes" data="/path/to/my/maps/osm_file.bin"/>
</mapset>

4) When I run navit, a window opens up and it's just filled from border to border with yellow-brownish background, that's it. If I click somewhere inside the window, I can get to configuration menus and in the Maps section navit lists the bin file I set up in step 3. But still it shows no maps.

Any ideas? Thanks

A shoot in the dark: did you disable the rest of the pre-set maps?

There are more tips here:

Eventually I did.

That was a good suggestion. The only way I was able to get it working is to copy /etc/navit/navit.xml to ~/.navit/navit.xml and edit the local user copy. Editing /etc/navit/navit.xml seems to have no effect.

Thanks for your help.

Mmm... according to Navit's help, that is exactly what has to happen:

***
http://wiki.navit-project.org/index.php/Configuring_Navit#Foreword

Setting up Navit is done by editing a configuration file. Unless
specified, it is called "navit.xml". When launching, Navit will look for
it in the following order:

- The first argument supplied on the command line, e.g.: navit /home/
myusername/navittestconfig.xml

- The navit.xml file in ~/.navit/navit.xml : e.g : /home/
myusername/.navit/navit.xml. This is probably to best place to customize
your settings.

- The navit.xml.local file in the current directory. Used mainly for
development, but maybe also useful for you.

- The navit.xml file in the current directory.
***

Which means that by default (unless you tell to do otherwise) it won't
lookup for "/etc/navit/navit.xml".

You're welcome. Good that you solved it.
