== Summary ==<br />
<br />
[[Image:Navit_icon.png|50px|left]]<br />
Navit is an open source (GPL) car navigation software for Linux systems. It will display your position on a map (in bird-view mode or as a 3D "visualization") from GPS sensor data, and can provide precise route calculation, touch screen functionality and supports Points of Interest (POI), which can be extended via an easy to use plugin system. Unlike other navigation systems, Navit maps are dynamically generated in real time from vector data. Information about Navit can be found [http://wiki.navit-project.org/index.php/Main_Page on the Navit wiki].<br />
<br />
== Release Notes ==<br />
<br />
The release notes can be found at [[Application:NavitReleaseNotes]].<br />
<br />
== Where do you get the latest version of Navit for WebOS 1.4.5 and above ? ==<br />
<br />
WEBOS 2.1.0 is working with 0.5.0 4254M and above ( HaPe at 06 Mar 2011).<br />
<br />
There is a bug in the OTA (over the air) update from 1.4.1 to 1.4.5 that prevents Navit from working. To check for the bug open a Terminal or Novaterm and issue this command 'cat /etc/fstab|grep internal'. You should get the following line:<br />
<br />
/dev/mapper/store-media /media/internal vfat utf8,shortname=mixed,umask=0000 0 0<br />
<br />
If the response from your device does not have the 'umask=0000' statement then you need to fix this first as explained here => http://developer.palm.com/distribution/viewtopic.php?p=34750<br />
Thanks to Rod there is now an app in The Preware Testing feed that can do the fix for you => http://forums.precentral.net/showthread.php?p=2556103<br />
<br />
Eine Deutsche Anleitung zum beheben des Problemes ist hier zu finden => http://www.nexave.de/forum/39654-fehler-im-ota-1-4-5-update.html<br />
<br />
# Open Preware. Select available applications. Then type 'Navit' and install as any other WebOS application.<br />
# This will automatically install two other needed packages if you not have installed them. The packages are 'speechd' and 'locale'.<br />
# You settings are migrated if you had installed the Navit Alpha before. Then you can skip step 4-8 the rest.<br />
# Now start Navit. You will see the OSD but no map as this will be installed in the next step. This first start will create the default settings and the empty folder for the map.<br />
# Quit Navit and connect your Pre to your PC in USB mode.<br />
# You also need a map. '''There was a recent problem with the Navit planet extractor - this should now be fixed as of 19:22, 18 October 2010 (UTC).'''<br />

# Put the *.bin file into the folder appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps on the USB drive of your Pre.<br />
# To switch between the three skins you need to open the navit.xml in appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/ . At the bottom you find the section where the skin is included. Remove the comment markers from the skin you plan to use and add them to the current skin.<br />
# Try it out!<br />
# Multiple maps. Using *.bin will not actually grab multiple map files but actually grab just the FIRST map file in the directory. Note that *.bin still does have it's use... If you are using just a single map file in a single directory then whenever you download an updated map file you can place it into the directory and not have to worry about modifying the navit.xml file with the new map name. Just remember to delete your old map file from the directory. To specify multiple map files you will have to add multiple lines to the navit.xml file with the file name for each map, switch between them via the settings/maps onscreen menu. Extra maps may be for your holiday trips to Hawaii allowing you to set up bookmarks in advance without GPS using the instructions here http://www.webos-internals.org/wiki/Application:Navit#On_how_to_plan_a_route. Having the Garmin BaseMap in your mapset allows you to see the whole world when you zoom out.<br />
To do this you need to add the mapset this way:<br />
<mapset enabled="yes"><br />
<map type="binfile" enabled="yes" active="yes" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/osm/Australia.navit.bin"/><br />
<map type="binfile" enabled="yes" active="no" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/osm/Hawaii.navit.bin"/><br />
<map type="garmin" enabled="yes" active="no" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/garmin/gmapbmap.img"/><br />
</mapset><br />
# Look at appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/navit.log on you USB drive if Navit is not working as expected. If Navit has problems it writes the information into this log file.<br />
<br />
If you have any questions about this version then you can find help here => http://forums.precentral.net/webos-internals/254622-navit-3d-car-navigation-system.html<br />
<br />
== Select Language and Country Location ==<br />
<br />
Thanks to tengler who was desperate for a Czech solution, a long standing issue has been sorted out. You can now choose your speaking language and the location of your country! Just create a new text file named '''lang-override''' and write your language code into it. This is an example for Czech language:<br />
<br />
Code:<br />
<br />
cs_CZ.utf8<br />
<br />
Copy this file to /media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit, e.g. by attaching Palm to your PC as USB drive. Or you can use a file manager (like Internalz) to create the file on Palm directly. Or you can use terminal ... it's up to you.<br />
<br />
After launching Navit, all the menus are in the desired language and Navit gives audio instructions in the right language. And on top of that, the city selection screen has the right country preselected, Yeah!<br />
<br />
en_AU.utf8 works fine.<br />
<br />
== Using NAVIT-MAPS to get your maps (new feature July 2011) ==<br />
Install the new NAVIT-Maps app and you can easily download your maps, remember that you can always have more than one. For more details on these maps and how it all works read the next sections. But now you can get on without knowing all these details. Now you do a "just type" with full address: number street, town, state, country and it all works very well. You dont have to even start NAVIT! Further instrucition on this feature are here.<br />
<br />
Currently (version 0.0.2) it has three function:<br />
<br />
Download and maintain your OSM Maps on the device.<br />
Use Navit as the default mapping application (a)<br />
Use Navit with 'just Type' (b)<br />
<br />
<br />
(a) You can select Navit-Maps as the default mapping app as described here http://www.precentral.net/change-default-mapping-application . This will start Navit maps with a special scene when you select a address in your contacts or calendar.<br />
Navit maps will then try to find a geoposition for the address you selected. It starts Navit to show or route to the address if it only gets one result. You will get a list to select the right one from if Navit Maps get more the one result.<br />
<br />
(b) You can select Navit as 'Just type application' as described here http://www.precentral.net/just-type-add-items-just-type . Now start to type the address in card view and select Navit from the application list.<br />
Navit maps will then try to find a geoposition for the address you typed. It start Navit to show the address if it only gets one result. You will get a list to select the right one from if Navit Maps get more the one result.<br />
<br />
The Navit-Maps app will only work if you have the latest Navit version and migrate to the latest XML configuration if you have made any manual changes in the nvait.xml<br />
<br />
== Using Map&Guide maps ==<br />
<br />
For all Europe uses. You can get a good Mapset from Amazon for 5 Euro => [http://www.amazon.de/Marco-Polo-Gro%C3%9Fer-Reiseplaner-DVD-ROM/dp/3829731426/ Marco Polo Großer Reiseplaner 2007/2008 (DVD-ROM) auf Amazon.de]<br />
<br />
The disadvantage is that the complete map is 3GB, if you only take Germany and the Major routes of Europe it is still 1GB.<br />
<br />
'''For Linux'''<br />
# Change directory to where DVD is mounted<br />
# Unpack data2.cab with: unshield x travel/data2.cab <br />
# Now, you should get a directory named like DIRLAN_GER.<br />
# Inside you find the maps...<br />
'''For Windows'''<br />
# Install the application<br />
# you find the maps in a folder inside the program folder.<br />
<br />
'''Installing the maps'''<br />
# The dem.map folder with all the majors roads and towns of Europe...<br />
# ...and five smpX.smp folders, which contain the details of countries:<br />
* smp1: DK,S,N,IS,FIN,N<br />
* smp2: F,E,GBZ,P,AND,MC<br />
* smp3: Germany<br />
* smp4: CZ,SK,RSM,EST,GEO,LV,LT,MD,RUS,UA,BY,GR,H,I,RO,CH,A,PL,AL,MT,CY,BG,FL,SRB,MNE,HR,SLO,BIH,MK,TR,AZ,AM,V<br />
* smp5: NL,B,GB,L,IRL <br />
# copy the dem.map folder into a place on your hard drive<br />
# remove all *d60* files from the dem.map folder<br />
# copy the dem.map folder into /MaypsNavit on you usb drive<br />
# copy the smpX.smp folder you need into /MaypsNavit/dem.map folder<br />
# open appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/navit.xml and change the following:<br />
<mapset enabled="yes"><br />
<map type="binfile" enabled="yes" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/*.bin"/><br />
</mapset><br />
to <br />
<mapset enabled="yes"><br />
<map type="binfile" enabled="yes" active="yes" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/osm/*.bin"/><br />
<map type="mg" enabled="yes" active="no" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/dem.map" /><br />
<map type="mg" enabled="yes" active="no" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/dem.map/smp3.smp" /><br />
</mapset><br />
<br />
Now you can switch between the OSM and the M&G maps from the settings/maps menu inside of Navit. The OSM map is the default. To make M&G the default you need to invert the active switches.<br />
<br />
I would expect the the Map&Guide maps for other countries will also work. But you need to find a cheep Product that contains them.<br />
<br />
If you have the m&g and the OSM maps on your USB drive then you can use the index from the m&g maps for searching and the OSM maps for routing and display. To do this you need to add the mapset this way:<br />
<mapset enabled="yes"><br />
<map type="mg" enabled="yes" active="no" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/dem.map/smp3.smp" /><br />
<map type="mg" enabled="yes" active="no" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/dem.map" /><br />
<map type="binfile" enabled="yes" active="yes" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/osm/*.bin"/><br />
</mapset><br />
It looks like Navit uses the street index of the first enabled map even if it is not active.<br />
<br />
== Changing the display of POI (Points of interest) symbols ==<br />
<br />
you can switch every POI symbol off and on, but there is no Menu function to do it. Connect your Pre in USB Mode and open "appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/navit_layout.xml".<br />
<br />
'''Make a backup of the file before you start and be careful. Navit will not start if you mess up the file !!!'''<br />
<br />
This file defines the different layouts that you can select (Car, Car-dark, bike and T@M). Every layout starts with a line like this:<br />
<br />
<layout name="Car" nightlayout="Car-dark" color="#ffefb7" font="Prelude"><br />
.<br />
.<br />
.<br />
</layout><br />
<br />
If you scroll down in the layout you will find the POI definitions. It starts with the line:<br />
<br />
<layer name="POI Symbols"><br />
<br />
For every defined POI symbole you find the following three lines:<br />
<br />
<itemgra item_types="poi_hotel" order="12-"><br />
<icon src="hotel.png"/><br />
</itemgra><br />
<br />
to switch the POI of simply remove the three lines or change them to<br />
<pre><br />
<!-- <itemgra item_types="poi_hotel" order="12-"><br />
<icon src="hotel.png"/><br />
</itemgra> <br />
--><br />
</pre><br />
Then you can switch them on later if you like.<br />
<br />
Navit loads the first layout that is defined in this file on startup. If you like to have a other layout you will need to move it to the beginning of the file. You can find more documentation in the navit_layout.xml file. The current version can be found in the git repository => http://git.webos-internals.org/?p=preware/cross-compile.git;a=blob;f=packages/apps/navit/files/navit_layout.xml<br />
<br />
<br />
== Frequently Asked Questions (Understanding ISSUES with OpenStreet Maps) ==<br />
<br />
There is a list of issues that first time users keep asking about. These are not WEBOS issues but due to how NAVIT operates with OpenStreet maps.<br />
<br />
* I can't tell which state the towns are in when I search! [http://wiki.navit-project.org/index.php/OpenStreetMaps#Search_is_totally_b0rkz0r3d.21_Or.2C_behaves_very_strangely_vs_other_navigation_software. Navit wiki]: In the OpenStreet Maps,<br />
<blockquote>There is no US State or County information; when searching for a US town, you may get hits from all over the US with planet.bin, and unfortunately, the states that each hit is in are not displayed. You basically have to use the Map button to examine them one-by-one, until you find the one you want (or, only travel to towns with unique names).</blockquote><br />
* How do I navigate to an address? [http://wiki.navit-project.org/index.php/OpenStreetMaps#Search_is_totally_b0rkz0r3d.21_Or.2C_behaves_very_strangely_vs_other_navigation_software. Navit wiki:]<br />
<blockquote>Right now, zipcode, district, and street number (?) searches are unimplemented; only Country, Town, and Street actually work (as of r1175).</blockquote><br />
Look at the section below called [[#On how to plan a route]] for advice.<br />
<br />
* See [http://wiki.navit-project.org/index.php/OpenStreetMaps#Problems_with_OSM_and_navit_or_navigation_in_general the Navit wiki] for other commonly asked questions.<br />
<br />
== Why don't I get the new skins we see below? ==<br />
Installation of Navit only copies in the new XML files '''''if the Navit.xml is not there'''''. You need to delete the old ones to get the new. '''''Preware does NOT REMOVE THEM!'''''<br />
<br />
<br />
You find the xml files on the USB drive J: (or another drive X: when your Pre is in USB mode (not charge only mode) depending upon your PC setup.<br />
<br />
Located here J:/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/<br />
<br />
To switch between the three skins shown below you need to open the navit.xml in appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/ . At the bottom you find the section where the skin is included.<br />
Remove the comment markers from the skin you plan to use and add them to the current skin. For example to use < !-- <xi:include href="$NAVIT_USER_DATADIR/navit_gui.xml"/> -- > remove the < !-- and the -- > and ADD the same in front and back of the existing skin, for example <xi:include href="$NAVIT_USER_DATADIR/navit_gui_PreNav.xml"/>. There is NO SPACE between the < and -- and similarly between -- and > in the code. The space appears in this wiki text due to formatting issues.<br />
<br />
== Only as a start. Some images of the current skins: ==<br />

== How to get around the menus v3 (still not complete)''' ==<br />
<br />
''As an aside the screen captures don't work on full screen - sorry.''<br />
<br />
Main screen is seen here before GPS lock <br />
<br />
[[Image:Start_screen.png]] (here the last saved GPS position is used to choose the starting map).<br />
<br />
Press your finger on the screen and "push" the map around to get the desired location (where you are now or where you want to go) right into the centre of the screen (if you want to zoom into a location use the + button). Tap the screen and you will get the Main Menu shown here.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Main_menu.png]]<br />
Since we want to go somewhere tap on Actions.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Actions_menu.png]]<br />
Now you have a choice of the Location at the center of the map screen, the location of the car (no good here as GPS has not locked in), the Location of a saved Bookmark, or searching for a Location in your OSM or other map you have already loaded into your Pre at /media/NavitMaps/. Choosing Town we get this screen.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Town_view.png]]<br />
Now unless you live in the USA you can now enter a town. If not tap on the US flag and you should get this screen.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Town_view2.png]]<br />
Now Type in your country eg Au will give at least two countries to choose from. Select one and you will then get to enter a town, the street and then house. Lots of times this does not work too well as the House numbering is not available. In this case follow instructions below on How to Plan a Route. <br />
Here are some FAQ about searching http://wiki.navit-project.org/index.php/OpenStreetMaps#Search_for_my_town_works.2C_but_I_can.27t_find_my_street<br />
<br />
OK I have told NAVIT that I wish to go to my new destination and now its ready to go. <br />
<br />
<br />
[[Image:Navit_OK_to_drive.png]] <br />
<br />
<br />
It shows the way to go as a BIG FAT BLUE line as well as speaking the directions. If you want to read the directions Choose Route then Description. The voice reads these out as you go along the route. Now Rod Whitby can guess where I live.<br />
<br />
[[Now you want to change from a CAR to a Pedestrian, Horse or BIKE!]]<br />
<br />
Choose the Main Menu, then choose Settings and you will see this<br />
<br />
[[Image:Settings_menu.png]]<br />
Now choose Vehicle and you will see this<br />
<br />
[[Image:Vehicle_screen.png]]<br />
Now select GPS and you will see your last choice which is shown here as a car.<br />
<br />
[[Image:GPS_screen_car.png]]<br />
Press once on the row Change profile to: pedestrian (for example)<br />
Then at the top of the screen press on VEHICLE. This will get you back to the GPS screen. Now if you select GPS again you will get this screen confirming you are now a pedestrian.<br />
<br />
[[Image:GPS_screen_ped.png]]<br />
Enjoy :-)<br />
<br />
[[Changing Map view (or getting rid of all the POIs)]]<br />
<br />
If you want very few POIs the simplest option is MainMenu>>Settings>>Display>>Layout>>T@H<br />
<br />
[[Image:choose T@H.png]] [[Image:T@H view.png]] <br />
Go back to map and you will see hardly any POIs. <br />
<br />
Helpful notes from vreihen on 18 and 26 May 2010 now follow,<br />
<br />
== On starting up issues ie '''why the map layer isn't loading?''' ==<br />
<br />
<br />
When Navit first starts up, it uses the north pole as it's initial position (if I recall correctly) until it gets an initial GPS fix. Your map layer problem may be that the GPS point is still at the north pole, or perhaps outside of the map that you have installed. If you tap on the center of the screen and tap on actions, there will be an icon of a car and an icon of a globe. The car icon is your current position, and should contain a non-zero latitude and longitude if your GPS is working and has a fix. Verify that those coordinates are where you are located before you dig any deeper into the maps as the cause of the missing layer.<br />
<br />
The information panels at the bottom of the screen are only populated when Navit is navigating between two points. Otherwise, they should be blank.<br />
<br />
If all else fails with the maps, you could download the entire planet.bin if you have 3.5 gigs of free USB flash space in your phone to eliminate the map file as the cause of your problem.....<br />
<br />
== '''On how to plan a route''' ==<br />
<br />
'''OPTION 1 with GPS'''<br />
<br />
1) Scroll through the map until you can see the location that you want to drive to.<br />
<br />
2) Zoom in tight on the screen, if necessary. Tap on your destination on the map.<br />
<br />
3) When Navit opens it's main menu, tap on actions.<br />
<br />
4) The car icon should show your current latitude/longitude. <br />
<br />
5) The globe icon should show the destination latitude/longitude that you tapped on the map.<br />
<br />
6) Tap on the globe icon.<br />
<br />
7) From the menu that pops up, select either bookmark this location (recommended) or navigate to this location.<br />
<br />
8) If you chose to bookmark it, tap actions | bookmarks, then tap your bookmark. Select navigate to this location.<br />
<br />
9) Depending on the distance you asked it to go, Navit should pop up the first driving direction and speak it to you within 5-10 seconds.<br />
<br />
The OSM map data apparently does not contain the concept of a state, so navigating by state/city/street lookup is difficult to impossible. Navigating by bookmark on the map is the only option for the time being.....<br />
<br />
<br />
'''OPTION 2 No GPS needed'''<br />
<br />
The map you see is centred on your last GPS/chosen location. Now you wish to plan a route at another location '''NOT''' on your current map so GPS is not going to work. You will not get a map on the screen for this location until the end of this setup.<br />
<br />
1) Remove all maps except the one that includes the locations you plan to use later. (if you fully understand how maps work in NAVIT this step is not necessary of course but for first timers it makes things simple to diagnose if you have troubles doing these steps.)<br />
<br />
2) Open bookmarks.txt ===== To do the edit go to USB mode, open R:\appdata\org.webosinternals.navit\bookmark.txt with any text editor you like (replace R: with your Drive Letter)<br />
<br />
3) add a new line<br />
<br />
mg: longitude latitude type=bookmark label="Location 1"<br />
<br />
Format is longitude and latitude, both in DD.ddd coordinates. For example Honolulu Stadium is -157.829 21.295, note the need for "-" for W longitude and "-" for S latitude. DD.ddd can have more d's added.<br />
<br />
4) save bookmarks.txt<br />
<br />
5) Start navit and navigate via bookmarks to "Location 1"<br />
<br />
6) If you want to go from place to place just add more bookmarks, suggest arrange them inside a new folder called "My Trip". <br />
<br />
<br />

''' Changing The Starting position'''<br />
<br />
You might want to change the starting position of navit, especially if you are using Navit without a GPS. You can get your coordinates here: http://itouchmap.com/latlong.html<br />
<br />
You can change the starting position in navit.xml, here :<br />
<br />
<navit gui="..." graphics="..." center="4808 N 1134 E" zoom="128" ><br />
<br />
The latitude and longitude are written as multiplied by 100, i.e. you won't see the decimal point. For example, instead of 48.08, enter 4808.<br />
<br />
== So you want Miles not km? ==<br />
<br />
NAVIT has this link http://trac.navit-project.org/ticket/12<br />
<br />
After 3 years of waiting "Yes you can". You should get miles and feet, sorry UK yds are not provided.<br />
<br />
If you want to use imperial, just add imperial="1" into your navit tag, i.e.<br />
<br />
<navit ... imperial="1" ... ><br />
<br />
This is in the navit.xml text file about Line 36. This file is in \appdata\org.webosinternals.navit so you do this in USB mode with a text editor.</div>PreRunrhttp://wiki.webos-internals.org/index.php?title=WebOS_Internals_PDK&diff=17539WebOS Internals PDK2011-07-29T06:55:10Z<p>PreRunr: /* Setup Scratchbox */</p>

Palm's binary sdk the "Plugin Developer Kit" became available to all developers in March 2010.<br />
<br />
When the widk was developed, the Palm PDK didn't exist, and until Dec 2010, it was not possible to run the PDK in Linux. If you would like to run the official Palm PDK, see [[PDK on Linux]] for directions.<br />
<br />
In addition to the PDK, webOS Internals has released a full "WIDK" (webOS Internals Development Kit) for you using Scratchbox2. <br />
<br />
Less than 10% of developers in the webOS developer community use Linux variants. Among those 10% there are dozens of different linux distributions that people use. Palm, therefore has chosen to support only Mac and Windows platforms for their PDK. Palm recommends that Linux based developers use the webOS-internals WIDK instead. <br />
<br />
We ''strongly'' urge the open-source homebrew community to standardize on this WIDK. It uses the same underlying technologies, and is entirely open. <br />
<br />
Scratchbox 2 is a cross-compilation engine, it can be used to create a highly flexible SDK.<br />
<br />
As installed below, the install process uses a script which extracts the required Palm provided files from a copy of webOS doctor, and downloads from other sources, and builds a complete compilation environment automatically which can compile SDL and openGLES apps for webOS. <br />
<br />
SB2 ''itself'' is totally distribution neutral but the webOS cross-compile environment is designed and tested on Ubuntu 11.04 32 bit. See [[WebOS_Internals_PDK_on_Mandriva]] if you want to run it on Mandriva. If you want to run the WIDK on other distributions and are willing to support that yourself and not ask webOS Internals any questions about it then please enjoy and if you succeed come back here and make a new article on how you did it. Otherwise, use the recommended OS.<br />
<br />
The webOS Internals team ''strongly suggest'' apt-get install into the Ubuntu environment only for this purpose. The same installation of Sun Virtualbox which hosts the Palm SDK emulator can host an Ubuntu 11.04 server with very little effort on any operating system. <br />
<br />

* it has been reported that sun-java6-jdk isn't necessary<br />
* On Ubuntu 11.04 xar might not install using <code>sudo apt-get install xar</code> See Note 2 Below<br />
<br />
If you're uncertain at all, and you're using Ubuntu 11.04, just cut and paste the following. If they are already installed, they'll be skipped. xar is not included in the code below.<br />
<br />
sudo apt-get install git-core build-essential curl unzip p7zip-full autoconf subversion libtool wget pkg-config gettext fakeroot ant xsltproc intltool uboot-mkimage patchutils flex bison libssl-dev zlib1g-dev libbz2-dev help2man texinfo automake1.10 autopoint xutils-dev cmake<br />
<br />
'''Note:''' If you are a beginner with Ubuntu Linux Distribution, you should update all the packages on your system to avoid problems when you will compile.<br />
<br />
'''Note 2:''' If you're using Ubuntu 11.04 and <code>xar</code> cannot be installed with <code>sudo apt-get install xar</code>, then you have to download two <code>.deb</code>-files manually and install them (in the order they are listed):<br />
# [http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/libxar1 libxar1]<br />
# [http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/xar xar]<br />
After that execute the above command again.<br />
<br />
Use these 2 command line :<BR><br />
Update repositories :<br />
sudo aptitude update<br />
And next, update the packages :<br />
sudo aptitude safe-upgrade<br />
<br />
If you're on a 64-bit system, you will also need to install the ia32-libs package.<br />
<br />
'''Note:''' The ''make toolchain'' command and later steps will download approximately a half-gig of tools and sources from various locations. Do not start this if you do not have time for a large download. Additionally, if you already have downloaded a copy of the correct version of the WebOS doctor, you can reduce the download time by copying the doctor file into cross-compile/doctors/ with the correct name. This will cause the appropriate command to skip that download. Note that codesourcery rate limts downloads and at a minimum this process will take 10 to 15 minutes irrespective of your connection speed. <br />
<br />
====Start setup====<br />
Create a preware folder, copy the cross-compile tools into it (if you have not installed git, apt-get install git-core), and use a make script to begin the set up of the compilation toolchain. <br />
<br />
sudo mkdir -p /srv/preware<br />
cd /srv/preware<br />
sudo chmod 777 .<br />
git clone git://git.webos-internals.org/preware/cross-compile.git<br />
cd cross-compile<br />
make toolchain<br />
<br />
If errors occur, browse the [http://git.webos-internals.org/preware/cross-compile/ repository online] and checkout earlier commits until you get something that gets through "make toolchain" and the later "make stage" commands like so:<br />
<br />
git checkout <commit-ish><br />
<br />
====Verify sh shell====<br />
On Ubuntu /bin/sh is a symbolic link to dash. This will cause errors with the make stage command below, as some of the scripts assume bash. Run the following command to see what shell sh is linked to.<br />
<br />
ls -l /bin/sh<br />
<br />
If the result is a link to dash:<br />
<br />
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 2010-07-06 23:55 /bin/sh -> dash<br />
<br />
You will want to correct it with the following:<br />
<br />
sudo dpkg-reconfigure dash<br />
<br />
You will be asked if you want to "Install dash as /bin/sh?". Select "<No>" and bash will be used. Rerun the command to verify:<br />
<br />
ls -l /bin/sh<br />
<br />
You should now see:<br />
<br />
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 2010-07-09 21:12 /bin/sh -> bash<br />
<br />
====Setup Scratchbox====<br />
Now, use apt-get to setup scratchbox...<br />
<br />
sudo apt-get install scratchbox2 qemu-kvm-extras (in Debian install qemu-user and qemu-system instead of qemu-kvm-extras)<br />
<br />
...and set it up for compiling for webOS. <br />
<br />
cd /srv/preware/cross-compile/toolchain/arm-2007q3/arm-none-linux-gnueabi/libc<br />
PATH=/srv/preware/cross-compile/toolchain/arm-2007q3/bin:${PATH} sb2-init -c /usr/bin/qemu-arm armv7 arm-none-linux-gnueabi-gcc<br />
PATH=/srv/preware/cross-compile/toolchain/arm-2007q3/bin:${PATH} sb2-init -c /usr/bin/qemu-arm armv6 arm-none-linux-gnueabi-gcc<br />
cd /srv/preware/cross-compile<br />
<br />
Then:<br />
<br />
make setup<br />
<br />
Once this setup is complete, compiling sdl apps for webOS is very simple. This does not set up a Target for i686 for me, is an extra line for i686 needed<br />
for example something like this (but this does not work)<br />
PATH=/srv/preware/cross-compile/toolchain/i686-unknown-linux-gnu/bin:${PATH} sb2-init -c /usr/bin/qemu-i386 i686 i686-unknown-linux-gnu-cc<br />
<br />

==Errors during make stage ==<br />
<br />
===automake1.10===<br />
<br />
If you see the error below, you need the latest automake (1.10)<br />
<br />
/usr/share/automake-1.9/am/depend2.am: am__fastdepOBJC does not appear in AM_CONDITIONAL<br />
configure.in:88: installing `./config.guess'<br />
configure.in:88: installing `./config.sub'<br />
Makefile.am: installing `./INSTALL'<br />
autoreconf2.50: automake failed with exit status: 1<br />
<br />
Install automake1.10 and it should work (according to [http://old.nabble.com/AC_PROG_OBJC-and-automake-1.9-td22434760.html this page])<br />
<br />
====Fix mmap errors====<br />
The following commands appear redundant. They are not. The install this fixes your mmap config to fix an mmap: permission denied error, but we don't need the package itself. (Do each command separately with cut and paste).<br />
<br />
sudo apt-get install qemu-arm-static<br />
sudo apt-get remove qemu-arm-static<br />
<br />
It appears that this package has been renamed qemu-kvm-extras-static in Ubuntu 11.04.<br />
<br />
: <span style="font-size:150%">OR</span> As a workaround, if this package is not available, <br />
::: the following commands can be executed in a root shell (sudo -s) to fix the mmap configuration to enable qemu-arm to work.<br />
<br />
echo "vm.mmap_min_addr = 4096" > /etc/sysctl.d/mmap_min_addr.conf<br />
/etc/init.d/procps restart<br />
<br />
(note that the value should not be "0". 4096 is chosen to avoid null pointer attacks.)<br />
<br />
<br />

Confirmed by 3 people. Fix this by either (your choice)<br />
*upgrading to Ubuntu 10.04 or newer (the WIDK now relies on a slightly newer version of libtool that's not in 9.10 or earlier)<br />
*updating libtool to 2.2.6b-2 (backported to 9.10, see available downloads on http://linuxappfinder.com/package/libtool#ubuntu_karmicpartner)<br />
<br />
<br />
If you're getting an error where sb2-init gives you the following output:<br />
<br />
checking for gcc... gcc<br />
checking for C compiler default output file name... a.out<br />
checking whether the C compiler works... configure: error: cannot run C compiled programs.<br />
If you meant to cross compile, use `--host'.<br />
See `config.log' for more details.<br />
<br />
<br />
Running /usr/bin/sb2-build-libtool failed<br />
You can run this manually later, otherwise your<br />
sb2 environment is correctly setup and ready to use<br />
<br />
You need to upgrade qemu. Alternatively, if your sb2-init output fails with a different output, like this:<br />
<br />
checking for gcc... gcc<br />
checking for C compiler default output file name... a.out<br />
checking whether the C compiler works... configure: error: cannot run C compiled programs.<br />
If you meant to cross compile, use `--host'.<br />
See `config.log' for more details.<br />
<br />
<br />
sb2-init completed successfully, have fun!<br />
<br />
Then you need to upgrade scratchbox, too (install 2.0 instead of 1.99).<br />
<br />
=== ecore ===<br />
*TRUE and FALSE are not defined:<br />
Manually add the definition:<br />
<br />

#endif<br />
<br />
#ifndef FALSE<br />
# define FALSE 0<br />
#endif<br />
<br />
*<code>$po_makefile_in</code> could not be found:<br />
**Open the file <code>/srv/preware/cross-compile/packages/dev-e/ecore/build/src/configure.ac</code> and search for the line with: <code>$po_makefile_in</code> (in my case line 1437) and replace it with <code>po/Makefile.in</code><br />
<br />
=== /bin/sh errors ===<br />
If you are getting a "bad fd number" or other /bin/sh error, make sure your /bin/sh points to bash, not another shell (such as dash.)<br />
<br />
Go back through the Verify sh shell section above to correct.<br />
<br />
=== further download errors ===<br />
<br />
rwhitby's suggestion:<br />
<br />
If you don't need that package which is failing for you, just move it to the nonworking directory and try again.<br />
<br />
14 July 2011=Using Rod's approach: So far I had to move fuse, unionfs-fuse, dev-gl, voip and x (pango and pixman failed). Using Ubuntu 11.04.<br />
<br />
=== X--tag=CC: command not found ===<br />
<br />
While running '''make stage''' on Ubuntu 10.10, I got the following error during compilation of sdl-gfx:<br />
<br />
/bin/sh ./libtool --tag=CC --mode=compile gcc -DPACKAGE_NAME=\"\" -DPACKAGE_TARNAME=\"\" -DPACKAGE_VERSION=\"\" -DPACKAGE_STRING=\"\" -DPACKAGE_BUGREPORT=\"\" -DPACKAGE_URL=\"\" -DPACKAGE=\"SDL_gfx\" -DVERSION=\"2.0.20\" -DSTDC_HEADERS=1 -DHAVE_SYS_TYPES_H=1 -DHAVE_SYS_STAT_H=1 -DHAVE_STDLIB_H=1 -DHAVE_STRING_H=1 -DHAVE_MEMORY_H=1 -DHAVE_STRINGS_H=1 -DHAVE_INTTYPES_H=1 -DHAVE_STDINT_H=1 -DHAVE_UNISTD_H=1 -DHAVE_DLFCN_H=1 -DLT_OBJDIR=\".libs/\" -DX_DISPLAY_MISSING=1 -DBUILD_DLL -I. -g -O2 -I/usr/local/include/SDL -D_GNU_SOURCE=1 -D_REENTRANT -MT SDL_gfxPrimitives.lo -MD -MP -MF .deps/SDL_gfxPrimitives.Tpo -c -o SDL_gfxPrimitives.lo SDL_gfxPrimitives.c<br />

./libtool: line 1158: X-DPACKAGE_TARNAME="": command not found<br />
<br />
In order to fix this problem, I had to run this command to set <code>$echo</code> (which gets used in line 847 of the libtool script):<br />
<br />
export echo=echo<br />
<br />
and re-run <code>make stage</code> in the same shell session.<br />
<br />
=== missing macro AM_PATH_SDL in making libsdl-gfx ===<br />
In Ubuntu Server 11.04 amd64 I had to install the package libsdl1.2-dev to get past this. I also needed the X--tag=CC fix above.<br />
Also for Ubuntu 11.04 i386 install the package libsdl1.2-dev.<br />

* it has been reported that sun-java6-jdk isn't necessary<br />
* On Ubuntu 11.04 xar might not install using <code>sudo apt-get install xar</code> See Note 2 Below<br />
<br />
If you're uncertain at all, and you're using Ubuntu 11.04, just cut and paste the following. If they are already installed, they'll be skipped. xar is not included in the code below.<br />
<br />
sudo apt-get install git-core build-essential curl unzip p7zip-full autoconf subversion libtool wget pkg-config gettext fakeroot ant xsltproc intltool uboot-mkimage patchutils flex bison libssl-dev zlib1g-dev libbz2-dev help2man texinfo automake1.10 autopoint xutils-dev cmake<br />
<br />
'''Note:''' If you are a beginner with Ubuntu Linux Distribution, you should update all the packages on your system to avoid problems when you will compile.<br />
<br />
'''Note 2:''' If you're using Ubuntu 11.04 and <code>xar</code> cannot be installed with <code>sudo apt-get install xar</code>, then you have to download two <code>.deb</code>-files manually and install them (in the order they are listed):<br />
# [http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/libxar1 libxar1]<br />
# [http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/xar xar]<br />
After that execute the above command again.<br />
<br />
Use these 2 command line :<BR><br />
Update repositories :<br />
sudo aptitude update<br />
And next, update the packages :<br />
sudo aptitude safe-upgrade<br />
<br />
If you're on a 64-bit system, you will also need to install the ia32-libs package.<br />
<br />
'''Note:''' The ''make toolchain'' command and later steps will download approximately a half-gig of tools and sources from various locations. Do not start this if you do not have time for a large download. Additionally, if you already have downloaded a copy of the correct version of the WebOS doctor, you can reduce the download time by copying the doctor file into cross-compile/doctors/ with the correct name. This will cause the appropriate command to skip that download. Note that codesourcery rate limts downloads and at a minimum this process will take 10 to 15 minutes irrespective of your connection speed. <br />
<br />
====Start setup====<br />
Create a preware folder, copy the cross-compile tools into it (if you have not installed git, apt-get install git-core), and use a make script to begin the set up of the compilation toolchain. <br />
<br />
sudo mkdir -p /srv/preware<br />
cd /srv/preware<br />
sudo chmod 777 .<br />
git clone git://git.webos-internals.org/preware/cross-compile.git<br />
cd cross-compile<br />
make toolchain<br />
<br />
If errors occur, browse the [http://git.webos-internals.org/preware/cross-compile/ repository online] and checkout earlier commits until you get something that gets through "make toolchain" and the later "make stage" commands like so:<br />
<br />
git checkout <commit-ish><br />
<br />
====Verify sh shell====<br />
On Ubuntu /bin/sh is a symbolic link to dash. This will cause errors with the make stage command below, as some of the scripts assume bash. Run the following command to see what shell sh is linked to.<br />
<br />
ls -l /bin/sh<br />
<br />
If the result is a link to dash:<br />
<br />
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 2010-07-06 23:55 /bin/sh -> dash<br />
<br />
You will want to correct it with the following:<br />
<br />
sudo dpkg-reconfigure dash<br />
<br />
You will be asked if you want to "Install dash as /bin/sh?". Select "<No>" and bash will be used. Rerun the command to verify:<br />
<br />
ls -l /bin/sh<br />
<br />
You should now see:<br />
<br />
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 2010-07-09 21:12 /bin/sh -> bash<br />
<br />
====Setup Scratchbox====<br />
Now, use apt-get to setup scratchbox...<br />
<br />
sudo apt-get install scratchbox2 qemu-kvm-extras (in Debian install qemu-user and qemu-system instead of qemu-kvm-extras)<br />
<br />
...and set it up for compiling for webOS. <br />
<br />
cd /srv/preware/cross-compile/toolchain/arm-2007q3/arm-none-linux-gnueabi/libc<br />
PATH=/srv/preware/cross-compile/toolchain/arm-2007q3/bin:${PATH} sb2-init -c /usr/bin/qemu-arm armv7 arm-none-linux-gnueabi-gcc<br />
PATH=/srv/preware/cross-compile/toolchain/arm-2007q3/bin:${PATH} sb2-init -c /usr/bin/qemu-arm armv6 arm-none-linux-gnueabi-gcc<br />
cd /srv/preware/cross-compile<br />
<br />
Then:<br />
<br />
make setup<br />
<br />
Once this setup is complete, compiling sdl apps for webOS is very simple. This does not set up a Target for i686 for me, is an extra line for i69=86 needed<br />
for example something like this (but this does not work)<br />
PATH=/srv/preware/cross-compile/toolchain/i686-unknown-linux-gnu/bin:${PATH} sb2-init -c /usr/bin/qemu-i386 i686 i686-unknown-linux-gnu-cc<br />
<br />

==Errors during make stage ==<br />
<br />
===automake1.10===<br />
<br />
If you see the error below, you need the latest automake (1.10)<br />
<br />
/usr/share/automake-1.9/am/depend2.am: am__fastdepOBJC does not appear in AM_CONDITIONAL<br />
configure.in:88: installing `./config.guess'<br />
configure.in:88: installing `./config.sub'<br />
Makefile.am: installing `./INSTALL'<br />
autoreconf2.50: automake failed with exit status: 1<br />
<br />
Install automake1.10 and it should work (according to [http://old.nabble.com/AC_PROG_OBJC-and-automake-1.9-td22434760.html this page])<br />
<br />
====Fix mmap errors====<br />
The following commands appear redundant. They are not. The install this fixes your mmap config to fix an mmap: permission denied error, but we don't need the package itself. (Do each command separately with cut and paste).<br />
<br />
sudo apt-get install qemu-arm-static<br />
sudo apt-get remove qemu-arm-static<br />
<br />
It appears that this package has been renamed qemu-kvm-extras-static in Ubuntu 11.04.<br />
<br />
: <span style="font-size:150%">OR</span> As a workaround, if this package is not available, <br />
::: the following commands can be executed in a root shell (sudo -s) to fix the mmap configuration to enable qemu-arm to work.<br />
<br />
echo "vm.mmap_min_addr = 4096" > /etc/sysctl.d/mmap_min_addr.conf<br />
/etc/init.d/procps restart<br />
<br />
(note that the value should not be "0". 4096 is chosen to avoid null pointer attacks.)<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
Confirmed by 3 people. Fix this by either (your choice)<br />
*upgrading to Ubuntu 10.04 or newer (the WIDK now relies on a slightly newer version of libtool that's not in 9.10 or earlier)<br />
*updating libtool to 2.2.6b-2 (backported to 9.10, see available downloads on http://linuxappfinder.com/package/libtool#ubuntu_karmicpartner)<br />
<br />
<br />
If you're getting an error where sb2-init gives you the following output:<br />
<br />
checking for gcc... gcc<br />
checking for C compiler default output file name... a.out<br />
checking whether the C compiler works... configure: error: cannot run C compiled programs.<br />
If you meant to cross compile, use `--host'.<br />
See `config.log' for more details.<br />
<br />
<br />
Running /usr/bin/sb2-build-libtool failed<br />
You can run this manually later, otherwise your<br />
sb2 environment is correctly setup and ready to use<br />
<br />
You need to upgrade qemu. Alternatively, if your sb2-init output fails with a different output, like this:<br />
<br />
checking for gcc... gcc<br />
checking for C compiler default output file name... a.out<br />
checking whether the C compiler works... configure: error: cannot run C compiled programs.<br />
If you meant to cross compile, use `--host'.<br />
See `config.log' for more details.<br />
<br />
<br />
sb2-init completed successfully, have fun!<br />
<br />
Then you need to upgrade scratchbox, too (install 2.0 instead of 1.99).<br />
<br />

**Open the file <code>/srv/preware/cross-compile/packages/dev-e/ecore/build/src/configure.ac</code> and search for the line with: <code>$po_makefile_in</code> (in my case line 1437) and replace it with <code>po/Makefile.in</code><br />
<br />
=== /bin/sh errors ===<br />
If you are getting a "bad fd number" or other /bin/sh error, make sure your /bin/sh points to bash, not another shell (such as dash.)<br />
<br />
Go back through the Verify sh shell section above to correct.<br />
<br />
=== further download errors ===<br />
<br />
rwhitby's suggestion:<br />
<br />
If you don't need that package which is failing for you, just move it to the nonworking directory and try again.<br />
<br />
14 July 2011=Using Rod's approach: So far I had to move fuse, unionfs-fuse, dev-gl, voip and x (pango and pixman failed). Using Ubuntu 11.04.<br />
<br />
=== X--tag=CC: command not found ===<br />
<br />
While running '''make stage''' on Ubuntu 10.10, I got the following error during compilation of sdl-gfx:<br />
<br />
/bin/sh ./libtool --tag=CC --mode=compile gcc -DPACKAGE_NAME=\"\" -DPACKAGE_TARNAME=\"\" -DPACKAGE_VERSION=\"\" -DPACKAGE_STRING=\"\" -DPACKAGE_BUGREPORT=\"\" -DPACKAGE_URL=\"\" -DPACKAGE=\"SDL_gfx\" -DVERSION=\"2.0.20\" -DSTDC_HEADERS=1 -DHAVE_SYS_TYPES_H=1 -DHAVE_SYS_STAT_H=1 -DHAVE_STDLIB_H=1 -DHAVE_STRING_H=1 -DHAVE_MEMORY_H=1 -DHAVE_STRINGS_H=1 -DHAVE_INTTYPES_H=1 -DHAVE_STDINT_H=1 -DHAVE_UNISTD_H=1 -DHAVE_DLFCN_H=1 -DLT_OBJDIR=\".libs/\" -DX_DISPLAY_MISSING=1 -DBUILD_DLL -I. -g -O2 -I/usr/local/include/SDL -D_GNU_SOURCE=1 -D_REENTRANT -MT SDL_gfxPrimitives.lo -MD -MP -MF .deps/SDL_gfxPrimitives.Tpo -c -o SDL_gfxPrimitives.lo SDL_gfxPrimitives.c<br />
./libtool: line 847: X--tag=CC: command not found<br />
./libtool: line 880: libtool: ignoring unknown tag : command not found<br />
./libtool: line 847: X--mode=compile: command not found<br />
./libtool: line 1014: *** Warning: inferring the mode of operation is deprecated.: command not found<br />

./libtool: line 1158: X-DPACKAGE_NAME="": command not found<br />
./libtool: line 1158: X-DPACKAGE_TARNAME="": command not found<br />
<br />
In order to fix this problem, I had to run this command to set <code>$echo</code> (which gets used in line 847 of the libtool script):<br />
<br />
export echo=echo<br />
<br />
and re-run <code>make stage</code> in the same shell session.<br />
<br />
=== missing macro AM_PATH_SDL in making libsdl-gfx ===<br />
In Ubuntu Server 11.04 amd64 I had to install the package libsdl1.2-dev to get past this. I also needed the X--tag=CC fix above.<br />
Also for Ubuntu 11.04 i386 install the package libsdl1.2-dev.<br />

[[Extracting the PDK on Linux]]</div>PreRunrhttp://wiki.webos-internals.org/index.php?title=WebOS_Internals_PDK&diff=17279WebOS Internals PDK2011-07-14T01:04:47Z<p>PreRunr: /* further download errors */</p>
<hr />
<div>[[Category: SDL]]<br />
Palm's binary sdk the "Plugin Developer Kit" became available to all developers in March 2010.<br />
<br />
When the widk was developed, the Palm PDK didn't exist, and until Dec 2010, it was not possible to run the PDK in Linux. If you would like to run the official Palm PDK, see [[PDK on Linux]] for directions.<br />
<br />
In addition to the PDK, webOS Internals has released a full "WIDK" (webOS Internals Development Kit) for you using Scratchbox2. <br />
<br />
Less than 10% of developers in the webOS developer community use Linux variants. Among those 10% there are dozens of different linux distributions that people use. Palm, therefore has chosen to support only Mac and Windows platforms for their PDK. Palm recommends that Linux based developers use the webOS-internals WIDK instead. <br />
<br />
We ''strongly'' urge the open-source homebrew community to standardize on this WIDK. It uses the same underlying technologies, and is entirely open. <br />
<br />
Scratchbox 2 is a cross-compilation engine, it can be used to create a highly flexible SDK.<br />
<br />
As installed below, the install process uses a script which extracts the required Palm provided files from a copy of webOS doctor, and downloads from other sources, and builds a complete compilation environment automatically which can compile SDL and openGLES apps for webOS. <br />
<br />
SB2 ''itself'' is totally distribution neutral but the webOS cross-compile environment is designed and tested on Ubuntu 11.04 32 bit. See [[WebOS_Internals_PDK_on_Mandriva]] if you want to run it on Mandriva. If you want to run the WIDK on other distributions and are willing to support that yourself and not ask webOS Internals any questions about it then please enjoy and if you succeed come back here and make a new article on how you did it. Otherwise, use the recommended OS.<br />
<br />
The webOS Internals team ''strongly suggest'' apt-get install into the Ubuntu environment only for this purpose. The same installation of Sun Virtualbox which hosts the Palm SDK emulator can host an Ubuntu 11.04 server with very little effort on any operating system. <br />
<br />
Developers wanting to work in an open environment 'without' SB2 can consider using the [http://www.webos-internals.org/wiki/Gentoo_NDK PuffTheMagic NDK].<br />
<br />
==SB2 Homepage==<br />
[http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/sbox2 http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/sbox2]pdk<br />
<br />
==License==<br />
Scratchbox 2 is distributed under LGPL version 2.1, portions are under GPL version 2. Some minor stuff is under MIT style license.<br />
<br />
== Installation on Ubuntu for webOS PDK cross compiling ==<br />
<br />
If setting up in a Virtual Box instance, it is recommended that you first complete the openSSH config as described in the VirtualBox tips for Windows users to the right. This is helpful even with a Linux host, as SSH into the PDK Virtual Machine will allow copy and paste of the commands listed below and reduce errors.<br />

It just doesn't work tried for over a week, with fresh Ubuntu 10.4 inside and outside of virtual box, fails on libtool for common/fuse/. Tried -j4 option with make stage, tried make staging-armv7. Also installed automake-1.9 after seeing complaints about that. -- please sign your comments<br />
<br />
==Errors during make stage ==<br />
<br />
===automake1.10===<br />
<br />
If you see the error below, you need the latest automake (1.10)<br />
<br />
/usr/share/automake-1.9/am/depend2.am: am__fastdepOBJC does not appear in AM_CONDITIONAL<br />
configure.in:88: installing `./config.guess'<br />

<br />
Install automake1.10 and it should work (according to [http://old.nabble.com/AC_PROG_OBJC-and-automake-1.9-td22434760.html this page])<br />
<br />
====Fix mmap errors====<br />
The following commands appear redundant. They are not. The install this fixes your mmap config to fix an mmap: permission denied error, but we don't need the package itself. (Do each command separately with cut and paste).<br />
<br />
sudo apt-get install qemu-arm-static<br />
sudo apt-get remove qemu-arm-static<br />
<br />
It appears that this package has been renamed qemu-kvm-extras-static in Ubuntu 11.04.<br />
<br />
: <span style="font-size:150%">OR</span> As a workaround, if this package is not available, <br />
::: the following commands can be executed in a root shell (sudo -s) to fix the mmap configuration to enable qemu-arm to work.<br />
<br />
echo "vm.mmap_min_addr = 4096" > /etc/sysctl.d/mmap_min_addr.conf<br />
/etc/init.d/procps restart<br />
<br />
(note that the value should not be "0". 4096 is chosen to avoid null pointer attacks.)<br />

Confirmed by 3 people. Fix this by either (your choice)<br />
*upgrading to Ubuntu 10.04 or newer (the WIDK now relies on a slightly newer version of libtool that's not in 9.10 or earlier)<br />
*updating libtool to 2.2.6b-2 (backported to 9.10, see available downloads on http://linuxappfinder.com/package/libtool#ubuntu_karmicpartner)<br />

If you're getting an error where sb2-init gives you the following output:<br />
<br />
checking for gcc... gcc<br />
checking for C compiler default output file name... a.out<br />
checking whether the C compiler works... configure: error: cannot run C compiled programs.<br />
If you meant to cross compile, use `--host'.<br />
See `config.log' for more details.<br />
<br />
<br />
Running /usr/bin/sb2-build-libtool failed<br />
You can run this manually later, otherwise your<br />
sb2 environment is correctly setup and ready to use<br />
<br />
You need to upgrade qemu. Alternatively, if your sb2-init output fails with a different output, like this:<br />
<br />
checking for gcc... gcc<br />
checking for C compiler default output file name... a.out<br />
checking whether the C compiler works... configure: error: cannot run C compiled programs.<br />
If you meant to cross compile, use `--host'.<br />
See `config.log' for more details.<br />
<br />
<br />
sb2-init completed successfully, have fun!<br />
<br />
Then you need to upgrade scratchbox, too (install 2.0 instead of 1.99).<br />

<br />
=== /bin/sh errors ===<br />
If you are getting a "bad fd number" or other /bin/sh error, make sure your /bin/sh points to bash, not another shell (such as dash.)<br />
<br />
Go back through the Verify sh shell section above to correct.<br />
<br />
=== further download errors ===<br />
<br />
rwhitby's suggestion:<br />
<br />
If you don't need that package which is failing for you, just move it to the nonworking directory and try again.<br />
<br />
14 July 2011=Using Rod's approach: So far I had to move fuse, unionfs-fuse, dev-gl, voip and x (pango and pixman failed). Using Ubuntu 11.04.<br />
<br />
=== X--tag=CC: command not found ===<br />
<br />
While running '''make stage''' on Ubuntu 10.10, I got the following error during compilation of sdl-gfx:<br />
<br />
/bin/sh ./libtool --tag=CC --mode=compile gcc -DPACKAGE_NAME=\"\" -DPACKAGE_TARNAME=\"\" -DPACKAGE_VERSION=\"\" -DPACKAGE_STRING=\"\" -DPACKAGE_BUGREPORT=\"\" -DPACKAGE_URL=\"\" -DPACKAGE=\"SDL_gfx\" -DVERSION=\"2.0.20\" -DSTDC_HEADERS=1 -DHAVE_SYS_TYPES_H=1 -DHAVE_SYS_STAT_H=1 -DHAVE_STDLIB_H=1 -DHAVE_STRING_H=1 -DHAVE_MEMORY_H=1 -DHAVE_STRINGS_H=1 -DHAVE_INTTYPES_H=1 -DHAVE_STDINT_H=1 -DHAVE_UNISTD_H=1 -DHAVE_DLFCN_H=1 -DLT_OBJDIR=\".libs/\" -DX_DISPLAY_MISSING=1 -DBUILD_DLL -I. -g -O2 -I/usr/local/include/SDL -D_GNU_SOURCE=1 -D_REENTRANT -MT SDL_gfxPrimitives.lo -MD -MP -MF .deps/SDL_gfxPrimitives.Tpo -c -o SDL_gfxPrimitives.lo SDL_gfxPrimitives.c<br />
./libtool: line 847: X--tag=CC: command not found<br />
./libtool: line 880: libtool: ignoring unknown tag : command not found<br />
./libtool: line 847: X--mode=compile: command not found<br />

./libtool: line 1158: X-DPACKAGE_NAME="": command not found<br />
./libtool: line 1158: X-DPACKAGE_TARNAME="": command not found<br />
<br />
In order to fix this problem, I had to run this command to set <code>$echo</code> (which gets used in line 847 of the libtool script):<br />
<br />
export echo=echo<br />
<br />
and re-run <code>make stage</code> in the same shell session.<br />
<br />
=== missing macro AM_PATH_SDL in making libsdl-gfx ===<br />
In Ubuntu Server 11.04 amd64 I had to install the package libsdl1.2-dev to get past this. I also needed the X--tag=CC fix above.<br />
Also for Ubuntu 11.04 i386 install the package libsdl1.2-dev.<br />

<hr />
<div>[[Category: SDL]]<br />
Palm's binary sdk the "Plugin Developer Kit" became available to all developers in March 2010.<br />
<br />
When the widk was developed, the Palm PDK didn't exist, and until Dec 2010, it was not possible to run the PDK in Linux. If you would like to run the official Palm PDK, see [[PDK on Linux]] for directions.<br />
<br />
In addition to the PDK, webOS Internals has released a full "WIDK" (webOS Internals Development Kit) for you using Scratchbox2. <br />
<br />
Less than 10% of developers in the webOS developer community use Linux variants. Among those 10% there are dozens of different linux distributions that people use. Palm, therefore has chosen to support only Mac and Windows platforms for their PDK. Palm recommends that Linux based developers use the webOS-internals WIDK instead. <br />
<br />
We ''strongly'' urge the open-source homebrew community to standardize on this WIDK. It uses the same underlying technologies, and is entirely open. <br />
<br />
Scratchbox 2 is a cross-compilation engine, it can be used to create a highly flexible SDK.<br />
<br />
As installed below, the install process uses a script which extracts the required Palm provided files from a copy of webOS doctor, and downloads from other sources, and builds a complete compilation environment automatically which can compile SDL and openGLES apps for webOS. <br />
<br />
SB2 ''itself'' is totally distribution neutral but the webOS cross-compile environment is designed and tested on Ubuntu 11.04 32 bit. See [[WebOS_Internals_PDK_on_Mandriva]] if you want to run it on Mandriva. If you want to run the WIDK on other distributions and are willing to support that yourself and not ask webOS Internals any questions about it then please enjoy and if you succeed come back here and make a new article on how you did it. Otherwise, use the recommended OS.<br />
<br />
The webOS Internals team ''strongly suggest'' apt-get install into the Ubuntu environment only for this purpose. The same installation of Sun Virtualbox which hosts the Palm SDK emulator can host an Ubuntu 11.04 server with very little effort on any operating system. <br />
<br />
Developers wanting to work in an open environment 'without' SB2 can consider using the [http://www.webos-internals.org/wiki/Gentoo_NDK PuffTheMagic NDK].<br />
<br />
==SB2 Homepage==<br />
[http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/sbox2 http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/sbox2]pdk<br />
<br />
==License==<br />
Scratchbox 2 is distributed under LGPL version 2.1, portions are under GPL version 2. Some minor stuff is under MIT style license.<br />
<br />
== Installation on Ubuntu for webOS PDK cross compiling ==<br />
<br />
If setting up in a Virtual Box instance, it is recommended that you first complete the openSSH config as described in the VirtualBox tips for Windows users to the right. This is helpful even with a Linux host, as SSH into the PDK Virtual Machine will allow copy and paste of the commands listed below and reduce errors.<br />

<br />

<br />
'''Note:''' If you are a beginner with Ubuntu Linux Distribution, you should update all the packages on your system to avoid problems when you will compile.<br />
<br />
'''Note 2:''' If you're using Ubuntu 11.04 and <code>xar</code> cannot be installed with <code>sudo apt-get install xar</code>, then you have to download two <code>.deb</code>-files manually and install them (in the order they are listed):<br />
# [http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/libxar1 libxar1]<br />
# [http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/xar xar]<br />
After that execute the above command again.<br />
<br />
Use these 2 command line :<BR><br />
Update repositories :<br />
sudo aptitude update<br />
And next, update the packages :<br />
sudo aptitude safe-upgrade<br />
<br />
If you're on a 64-bit system, you will also need to install the ia32-libs package.<br />
<br />
'''Note:''' The ''make toolchain'' command and later steps will download approximately a half-gig of tools and sources from various locations. Do not start this if you do not have time for a large download. Additionally, if you already have downloaded a copy of the correct version of the WebOS doctor, you can reduce the download time by copying the doctor file into cross-compile/doctors/ with the correct name. This will cause the appropriate command to skip that download. Note that codesourcery rate limts downloads and at a minimum this process will take 10 to 15 minutes irrespective of your connection speed. <br />
<br />
====Start setup====<br />
Create a preware folder, copy the cross-compile tools into it (if you have not installed git, apt-get install git-core), and use a make script to begin the set up of the compilation toolchain. <br />
<br />
sudo mkdir -p /srv/preware<br />
cd /srv/preware<br />
sudo chmod 777 .<br />
git clone git://git.webos-internals.org/preware/cross-compile.git<br />
cd cross-compile<br />
make toolchain<br />
<br />
If errors occur, browse the [http://git.webos-internals.org/?p=preware/cross-compile.git;a=shortlog repository online] and checkout earlier commits until you get something that gets through "make toolchain" and the later "make stage" commands like so:<br />
<br />
git checkout <commit-ish><br />
<br />
<br />
====Verify sh shell====<br />
On Ubuntu /bin/sh is a symbolic link to dash. This will cause errors with the make stage command below, as some of the scripts assume bash. Run the following command to see what shell sh is linked to.<br />
<br />
ls -l /bin/sh<br />
<br />
If the result is a link to dash:<br />
<br />
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 2010-07-06 23:55 /bin/sh -> dash<br />
<br />
You will want to correct it with the following:<br />
<br />
sudo dpkg-reconfigure dash<br />
<br />
You will be asked if you want to "Install dash as /bin/sh?". Select "<No>" and bash will be used. Rerun the command to verify:<br />
<br />
ls -l /bin/sh<br />
<br />
You should now see:<br />
<br />
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 2010-07-09 21:12 /bin/sh -> bash<br />
<br />
====Setup Scratchbox====<br />
Now, use apt-get to setup scratchbox...<br />
<br />
sudo apt-get install scratchbox2 qemu-kvm-extras (in Debian install qemu-user and qemu-system instead of qemu-kvm-extras)<br />
<br />
...and set it up for compiling for webOS. <br />
<br />
cd /srv/preware/cross-compile/toolchain/arm-2007q3/arm-none-linux-gnueabi/libc<br />
PATH=/srv/preware/cross-compile/toolchain/arm-2007q3/bin:${PATH} sb2-init -c /usr/bin/qemu-arm armv7 arm-none-linux-gnueabi-gcc<br />
cd /srv/preware/cross-compile<br />
<br />
Then:<br />
<br />
make setup<br />
<br />
Once this setup is complete, compiling sdl apps for webOS is very simple.<br />

<div>[[Category: SDL]]<br />
Palm's binary sdk the "Plugin Developer Kit" became available to all developers in March 2010.<br />
<br />
When the widk was developed, the Palm PDK didn't exist, and until Dec 2010, it was not possible to run the PDK in Linux. If you would like to run the official Palm PDK, see [[PDK on Linux]] for directions.<br />
<br />
In addition to the PDK, webOS Internals has released a full "WIDK" (webOS Internals Development Kit) for you using Scratchbox2. <br />
<br />
Less than 10% of developers in the webOS developer community use Linux variants. Among those 10% there are dozens of different linux distributions that people use. Palm, therefore has chosen to support only Mac and Windows platforms for their PDK. Palm recommends that Linux based developers use the webOS-internals WIDK instead. <br />
<br />
We ''strongly'' urge the open-source homebrew community to standardize on this WIDK. It uses the same underlying technologies, and is entirely open. <br />
<br />
Scratchbox 2 is a cross-compilation engine, it can be used to create a highly flexible SDK.<br />
<br />
As installed below, the install process uses a script which extracts the required Palm provided files from a copy of webOS doctor, and downloads from other sources, and builds a complete compilation environment automatically which can compile SDL and openGLES apps for webOS. <br />
<br />
SB2 ''itself'' is totally distribution neutral but the webOS cross-compile environment is designed and tested on Ubuntu 11.04 32 bit. See [[WebOS_Internals_PDK_on_Mandriva]] if you want to run it on Mandriva. If you want to run the WIDK on other distributions and are willing to support that yourself and not ask webOS Internals any questions about it then please enjoy and if you succeed come back here and make a new article on how you did it. Otherwise, use the recommended OS.<br />
<br />
The webOS Internals team ''strongly suggest'' apt-get install into the Ubuntu environment only for this purpose. The same installation of Sun Virtualbox which hosts the Palm SDK emulator can host an Ubuntu 11.04 server with very little effort on any operating system. <br />
<br />
Developers wanting to work in an open environment 'without' SB2 can consider using the [http://www.webos-internals.org/wiki/Gentoo_NDK PuffTheMagic NDK].<br />
<br />
==SB2 Homepage==<br />
[http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/sbox2 http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/sbox2]pdk<br />
<br />
==License==<br />
Scratchbox 2 is distributed under LGPL version 2.1, portions are under GPL version 2. Some minor stuff is under MIT style license.<br />
<br />
== Installation on Ubuntu for webOS PDK cross compiling ==<br />
<br />
If setting up in a Virtual Box instance, it is recommended that you first complete the openSSH config as described in the VirtualBox tips for Windows users to the right. This is helpful even with a Linux host, as SSH into the PDK Virtual Machine will allow copy and paste of the commands listed below and reduce errors.<br />

* it has been reported that sun-java6-jdk isn't necessary<br />
* On Ubuntu 11.04 xar might not install using <code>sudo apt-get install xar</code> See Note 2 Below<br />
<br />
If you're uncertain at all, and you're using Ubuntu 11.04, just cut and paste the following. If they are already installed, they'll be skipped. xar is not included in the code below.<br />
<br />
sudo apt-get install git-core build-essential curl unzip p7zip-full autoconf subversion libtool wget pkg-config gettext fakeroot ant xsltproc intltool uboot-mkimage patchutils flex bison libssl-dev zlib1g-dev libbz2-dev help2man texinfo automake1.10 autopoint xutils-dev <br />
<br />
'''Note:''' If you are a beginner with Ubuntu Linux Distribution, you should update all the packages on your system to avoid problems when you will compile.<br />
<br />
'''Note 2:''' If you're using Ubuntu 11.04 and <code>xar</code> cannot be installed with <code>sudo apt-get install xar</code>, then you have to download two <code>.deb</code>-files manually and install them (in the order they are listed):<br />
# [http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/libxar1 libxar1]<br />
# [http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/xar xar]<br />
After that execute the above command again.<br />
<br />
Use these 2 command line :<BR><br />
Update repositories :<br />
sudo aptitude update<br />
And next, update the packages :<br />
sudo aptitude safe-upgrade<br />
<br />
If you're on a 64-bit system, you will also need to install the ia32-libs package.<br />
<br />
'''Note:''' The ''make toolchain'' command and later steps will download approximately a half-gig of tools and sources from various locations. Do not start this if you do not have time for a large download. Additionally, if you already have downloaded a copy of the correct version of the WebOS doctor, you can reduce the download time by copying the doctor file into cross-compile/doctors/ with the correct name. This will cause the appropriate command to skip that download. Note that codesourcery rate limts downloads and at a minimum this process will take 10 to 15 minutes irrespective of your connection speed. <br />
<br />
====Start setup====<br />
Create a preware folder, copy the cross-compile tools into it (if you have not installed git, apt-get install git-core), and use a make script to begin the set up of the compilation toolchain. <br />
<br />
sudo mkdir -p /srv/preware<br />
cd /srv/preware<br />
sudo chmod 777 .<br />
git clone git://git.webos-internals.org/preware/cross-compile.git<br />
cd cross-compile<br />
make toolchain<br />
<br />
If errors occur, browse the [http://git.webos-internals.org/?p=preware/cross-compile.git;a=shortlog repository online] and checkout earlier commits until you get something that gets through "make toolchain" and the later "make stage" commands like so:<br />
<br />
git checkout <commit-ish><br />
<br />
<br />
====Verify sh shell====<br />
On Ubuntu /bin/sh is a symbolic link to dash. This will cause errors with the make stage command below, as some of the scripts assume bash. Run the following command to see what shell sh is linked to.<br />
<br />
ls -l /bin/sh<br />
<br />
If the result is a link to dash:<br />
<br />
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 2010-07-06 23:55 /bin/sh -> dash<br />
<br />
You will want to correct it with the following:<br />
<br />
sudo dpkg-reconfigure dash<br />
<br />
You will be asked if you want to "Install dash as /bin/sh?". Select "<No>" and bash will be used. Rerun the command to verify:<br />
<br />
ls -l /bin/sh<br />
<br />
You should now see:<br />
<br />
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 2010-07-09 21:12 /bin/sh -> bash<br />
<br />
====Setup Scratchbox====<br />
Now, use apt-get to setup scratchbox...<br />
<br />
sudo apt-get install scratchbox2 qemu-kvm-extras (in Debian install qemu-user and qemu-system instead of qemu-kvm-extras)<br />
<br />
...and set it up for compiling for webOS. <br />
<br />
cd /srv/preware/cross-compile/toolchain/arm-2007q3/arm-none-linux-gnueabi/libc<br />
PATH=/srv/preware/cross-compile/toolchain/arm-2007q3/bin:${PATH} sb2-init -c /usr/bin/qemu-arm armv7 arm-none-linux-gnueabi-gcc<br />
cd /srv/preware/cross-compile<br />
<br />
Then:<br />
<br />
make setup<br />
<br />
Once this setup is complete, compiling sdl apps for webOS is very simple.<br />
<br />

It just doesn't work tried for over a week, with fresh Ubuntu 10.4 inside and outside of virtual box, fails on libtool for common/fuse/. Tried -j4 option with make stage, tried make staging-armv7. Also installed automake-1.9 after seeing complaints about that. -- please sign your comments<br />
<br />
==Errors during make stage ==<br />
<br />
===automake1.10===<br />
<br />
If you see the error below, you need the latest automake (1.10)<br />
<br />
/usr/share/automake-1.9/am/depend2.am: am__fastdepOBJC does not appear in AM_CONDITIONAL<br />
configure.in:88: installing `./config.guess'<br />

Makefile.am: installing `./INSTALL'<br />
autoreconf2.50: automake failed with exit status: 1<br />
<br />
Install automake1.10 and it should work (according to [http://old.nabble.com/AC_PROG_OBJC-and-automake-1.9-td22434760.html this page])<br />
<br />
====Fix mmap errors====<br />
The following commands appear redundant. They are not. The install this fixes your mmap config to fix an mmap: permission denied error, but we don't need the package itself. (Do each command separately with cut and paste).<br />
<br />
sudo apt-get install qemu-arm-static<br />
sudo apt-get remove qemu-arm-static<br />
<br />
It appears that this package has been renamed qemu-kvm-extras-static in Ubuntu 11.04.<br />
<br />
: <span style="font-size:150%">OR</span> As a workaround, if this package is not available, <br />
::: the following commands can be executed in a root shell (sudo -s) to fix the mmap configuration to enable qemu-arm to work.<br />
<br />
echo "vm.mmap_min_addr = 4096" > /etc/sysctl.d/mmap_min_addr.conf<br />
/etc/init.d/procps restart<br />
<br />
(note that the value should not be "0". 4096 is chosen to avoid null pointer attacks.)<br />

As installed below, the install process uses a script which extracts the required Palm provided files from a copy of webOS doctor, and downloads from other sources, and builds a complete compilation environment automatically which can compile SDL and openGLES apps for webOS. <br />
<br />
SB2 ''itself'' is totally distribution neutral but the webOS cross-compile environment is designed and tested on Ubuntu 9.10 32 bit. (At least one user in #webos-internals reports complete success running the cross compile environment in Ubuntu 9.10 64 bit after installing curl via apt-get.) See [[WebOS_Internals_PDK_on_Mandriva]] if you want to run it on Mandriva. If you want to run the WIDK on other distributions and are willing to support that yourself and not ask webOS Internals any questions about it then please enjoy and if you succeed come back here and make a new article on how you did it. Otherwise, use the recommended OS.<br />
<br />
The webOS Internals team ''strongly suggest'' apt-get install into the Ubuntu environment only for this purpose. The same installation of Sun Virtualbox which hosts the Palm SDK emulator can host an Ubuntu 9.10 server with very little effort on any operating system. <br />
<br />
Developers wanting to work in an open environment 'without' SB2 can consider using the [http://www.webos-internals.org/wiki/Gentoo_NDK PuffTheMagic NDK].<br />

== Installation on Ubuntu for webOS PDK cross compiling ==<br />
<br />
If setting up in a Virtual Box instance, it is recommended that you first complete the openSSH config as described in the VirtualBox tips for Windows users to the right. This is helpful even with a Linux host, as SSH into the PDK Virtual Machine will allow copy and paste of the commands listed below and reduce errors.<br />
<br />

If you're uncertain at all, and you're using Ubuntu 11.04, just cut and paste the following. If they are already installed, they'll be skipped.<br />

<br />
'''Note:''' If you are a beginner with Ubuntu Linux Distribution, you should update all the packages on your system to avoid problems when you will compile.<br />
<br />
'''Note 2:''' If you're using Ubuntu and <code>xar</code> cannot be installed with <code>sudo apt-get install xar</code>, then you have to download two <code>.deb</code>-files manually and install them (in the order they are listed):<br />
# [http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/libxar1 libxar1]<br />
# [http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/xar xar]<br />
After that execute the above command again.<br />
<br />
Use these 2 command line :<BR><br />
Update repositories :<br />
sudo aptitude update<br />
And next, update the packages :<br />
sudo aptitude safe-upgrade<br />
<br />
If you're on a 64-bit system, you will also need to install the ia32-libs package.<br />
<br />
'''Note:''' The ''make toolchain'' command and later steps will download approximately a half-gig of tools and sources from various locations. Do not start this if you do not have time for a large download. Additionally, if you already have downloaded a copy of the correct version of the WebOS doctor, you can reduce the download time by copying the doctor file into cross-compile/doctors/ with the correct name. This will cause the appropriate command to skip that download. Note that codesourcery rate limts downloads and at a minimum this process will take 10 to 15 minutes irrespective of your connection speed. <br />
<br />
====Start setup====<br />
Create a preware folder, copy the cross-compile tools into it (if you have not installed git, apt-get install git-core), and use a make script to begin the set up of the compilation toolchain. <br />
<br />
sudo mkdir -p /srv/preware<br />
cd /srv/preware<br />
sudo chmod 777 .<br />
git clone git://git.webos-internals.org/preware/cross-compile.git<br />
cd cross-compile<br />
make toolchain<br />
<br />
If errors occur, browse the [http://git.webos-internals.org/?p=preware/cross-compile.git;a=shortlog repository online] and checkout earlier commits until you get something that gets through "make toolchain" and the later "make stage" commands like so:<br />
<br />
git checkout <commit-ish><br />
<br />
====Fix mmap errors====<br />
The following commands appear redundant. They are not. The install this fixes your mmap config to fix an mmap: permission denied error, but we don't need the package itself. (Do each command separately with cut and paste).<br />
<br />
sudo apt-get install qemu-arm-static<br />
sudo apt-get remove qemu-arm-static<br />
<br />
It appears that this package has been renamed qemu-kvm-extras-static in Ubuntu 11.04.<br />
<br />
: <span style="font-size:150%">OR</span> As a workaround, if this package is not available, <br />
::: the following commands can be executed in a root shell (sudo -s) to fix the mmap configuration to enable qemu-arm to work.<br />
<br />
echo "vm.mmap_min_addr = 4096" > /etc/sysctl.d/mmap_min_addr.conf<br />
/etc/init.d/procps restart<br />
<br />
(note that the value should not be "0". 4096 is chosen to avoid null pointer attacks.)<br />
<br />
====Verify sh shell====<br />
On Ubuntu /bin/sh is a symbolic link to dash. This will cause errors with the make stage command below, as some of the scripts assume bash. Run the following command to see what shell sh is linked to.<br />
<br />
ls -l /bin/sh<br />
<br />
If the result is a link to dash:<br />
<br />
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 2010-07-06 23:55 /bin/sh -> dash<br />
<br />
You will want to correct it with the following:<br />
<br />
sudo dpkg-reconfigure dash<br />
<br />
You will be asked if you want to "Install dash as /bin/sh?". Select "<No>" and bash will be used. Rerun the command to verify:<br />
<br />
ls -l /bin/sh<br />
<br />
You should now see:<br />
<br />
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 2010-07-09 21:12 /bin/sh -> bash<br />
<br />
====Setup Scratchbox====<br />
Now, use apt-get to setup scratchbox...<br />
<br />
sudo apt-get install scratchbox2 qemu-kvm-extras (in Debian install qemu-user and qemu-system instead of qemu-kvm-extras)<br />
<br />
...and set it up for compiling for webOS. <br />
<br />
cd /srv/preware/cross-compile/toolchain/arm-2007q3/arm-none-linux-gnueabi/libc<br />
PATH=/srv/preware/cross-compile/toolchain/arm-2007q3/bin:${PATH} sb2-init -c /usr/bin/qemu-arm armv7 arm-none-linux-gnueabi-gcc<br />
cd /srv/preware/cross-compile<br />
<br />
Then:<br />
<br />
make stage<br />
<br />
Once this setup is complete, compiling sdl apps for webOS is very simple.<br />
<br />

*upgrading to Ubuntu 10.04 or newer (the WIDK now relies on a slightly newer version of libtool that's not in 9.10 or earlier)<br />
*updating libtool to 2.2.6b-2 (backported to 9.10, see available downloads on http://linuxappfinder.com/package/libtool#ubuntu_karmicpartner)<br />
<br />
<br />
If you're getting an error where sb2-init gives you the following output:<br />
<br />
checking for gcc... gcc<br />
checking for C compiler default output file name... a.out<br />
checking whether the C compiler works... configure: error: cannot run C compiled programs.<br />
If you meant to cross compile, use `--host'.<br />
See `config.log' for more details.<br />
<br />
<br />
Running /usr/bin/sb2-build-libtool failed<br />
You can run this manually later, otherwise your<br />
sb2 environment is correctly setup and ready to use<br />
<br />
You need to upgrade qemu. Alternatively, if your sb2-init output fails with a different output, like this:<br />
<br />
checking for gcc... gcc<br />
checking for C compiler default output file name... a.out<br />
checking whether the C compiler works... configure: error: cannot run C compiled programs.<br />
If you meant to cross compile, use `--host'.<br />
See `config.log' for more details.<br />
<br />
<br />
sb2-init completed successfully, have fun!<br />
<br />
Then you need to upgrade scratchbox, too (install 2.0 instead of 1.99).<br />
<br />
=== ecore ===<br />

<br />
=== /bin/sh errors ===<br />
If you are getting a "bad fd number" or other /bin/sh error, make sure your /bin/sh points to bash, not another shell (such as dash.)<br />
<br />
Go back through the Verify sh shell section above to correct.<br />
<br />
=== further download errors ===<br />
<br />
rwhitby's suggestion:<br />
<br />
If you don't need that package which is failing for you, just move it to the nonworking directory and try again.<br />
<br />
=== X--tag=CC: command not found ===<br />
<br />
While running '''make stage''' on Ubuntu 10.10, I got the following error during compilation of sdl-gfx:<br />
<br />
/bin/sh ./libtool --tag=CC --mode=compile gcc -DPACKAGE_NAME=\"\" -DPACKAGE_TARNAME=\"\" -DPACKAGE_VERSION=\"\" -DPACKAGE_STRING=\"\" -DPACKAGE_BUGREPORT=\"\" -DPACKAGE_URL=\"\" -DPACKAGE=\"SDL_gfx\" -DVERSION=\"2.0.20\" -DSTDC_HEADERS=1 -DHAVE_SYS_TYPES_H=1 -DHAVE_SYS_STAT_H=1 -DHAVE_STDLIB_H=1 -DHAVE_STRING_H=1 -DHAVE_MEMORY_H=1 -DHAVE_STRINGS_H=1 -DHAVE_INTTYPES_H=1 -DHAVE_STDINT_H=1 -DHAVE_UNISTD_H=1 -DHAVE_DLFCN_H=1 -DLT_OBJDIR=\".libs/\" -DX_DISPLAY_MISSING=1 -DBUILD_DLL -I. -g -O2 -I/usr/local/include/SDL -D_GNU_SOURCE=1 -D_REENTRANT -MT SDL_gfxPrimitives.lo -MD -MP -MF .deps/SDL_gfxPrimitives.Tpo -c -o SDL_gfxPrimitives.lo SDL_gfxPrimitives.c<br />

./libtool: line 1158: X-DPACKAGE_TARNAME="": command not found<br />
<br />
In order to fix this problem, I had to run this command to set <code>$echo</code> (which gets used in line 847 of the libtool script):<br />
<br />
export echo=echo<br />
<br />
and re-run <code>make stage</code> in the same shell session.<br />
<br />
=== missing macro AM_PATH_SDL in making libsdl-gfx ===<br />
In Ubuntu Server 11.04 amd64 I had to install the package libsdl1.2-dev to get past this. I also needed the X--tag=CC fix above.<br />

== Summary ==<br />
<br />
[[Image:Navit_icon.png|50px|left]]<br />
Navit is an open source (GPL) car navigation software for Linux systems. It will display your position on a map (in bird-view mode or as a 3D "visualization") from GPS sensor data, and can provide precise route calculation, touch screen functionality and supports Points of Interest (POI), which can be extended via an easy to use plugin system. Unlike other navigation systems, Navit maps are dynamically generated in real time from vector data. Information about Navit can be found [http://wiki.navit-project.org/index.php/Main_Page on the Navit wiki].<br />
<br />
== Release Notes ==<br />
<br />
The release notes can be found at [[Application:NavitReleaseNotes]].<br />
<br />
== Where do you get the latest version of Navit for WebOS 1.4.5 and above ? ==<br />
<br />
WEBOS 2.1.0 is working with 0.5.0 4254M and above ( HaPe at 06 Mar 2011).<br />
<br />
There is a bug in the OTA (over the air) update from 1.4.1 to 1.4.5 that prevents Navit from working. To check for the bug open a Terminal or Novaterm and issue this command 'cat /etc/fstab|grep internal'. You should get the following line:<br />
<br />
/dev/mapper/store-media /media/internal vfat utf8,shortname=mixed,umask=0000 0 0<br />
<br />
If the response from your device does not have the 'umask=0000' statement then you need to fix this first as explained here => http://developer.palm.com/distribution/viewtopic.php?p=34750<br />
Thanks to Rod there is now an app in The Preware Testing feed that can do the fix for you => http://forums.precentral.net/showthread.php?p=2556103<br />
<br />
Eine Deutsche Anleitung zum beheben des Problemes ist hier zu finden => http://www.nexave.de/forum/39654-fehler-im-ota-1-4-5-update.html<br />
<br />
# Open Preware. Select available applications. Then type 'Navit' and install as any other WebOS application.<br />
# This will automatically install two other needed packages if you not have installed them. The packages are 'speechd' and 'locale'.<br />
# You settings are migrated if you had installed the Navit Alpha before. Then you can skip step 4-8 the rest.<br />
# Now start Navit. You will see the OSD but no map as this will be installed in the next step. This first start will create the default settings and the empty folder for the map.<br />
# Quit Navit and connect your Pre to your PC in USB mode.<br />
# You also need a map. '''There was a recent problem with the Navit planet extractor - this should now be fixed as of 19:22, 18 October 2010 (UTC).'''<br />

# Put the *.bin file into the folder appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps on the USB drive of your Pre.<br />
# To switch between the three skins you need to open the navit.xml in appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/ . At the bottom you find the section where the skin is included. Remove the comment markers from the skin you plan to use and add them to the current skin.<br />
# Try it out!<br />
# Multiple maps. Using *.bin will not actually grab multiple map files but actually grab just the FIRST map file in the directory. Note that *.bin still does have it's use... If you are using just a single map file in a single directory then whenever you download an updated map file you can place it into the directory and not have to worry about modifying the navit.xml file with the new map name. Just remember to delete your old map file from the directory. To specify multiple map files you will have to add multiple lines to the navit.xml file with the file name for each map, switch between them via the settings/maps onscreen menu. Extra maps may be for your holiday trips to Hawaii allowing you to set up bookmarks in advance without GPS using the instructions here http://www.webos-internals.org/wiki/Application:Navit#On_how_to_plan_a_route. Having the Garmin BaseMap in your mapset allows you to see the whole world when you zoom out.<br />
To do this you need to add the mapset this way:<br />
<mapset enabled="yes"><br />
<map type="binfile" enabled="yes" active="yes" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/osm/Australia.navit.bin"/><br />
<map type="binfile" enabled="yes" active="no" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/osm/Hawaii.navit.bin"/><br />
<map type="garmin" enabled="yes" active="no" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/garmin/gmapbmap.img"/><br />
</mapset><br />
# Look at appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/navit.log on you USB drive if Navit is not working as expected. If Navit has problems it writes the information into this log file.<br />
<br />
If you have any questions about this version then you can find help here => http://forums.precentral.net/webos-internals/254622-navit-3d-car-navigation-system.html<br />
<br />
== Select Language and Country Location ==<br />
<br />
Thanks to tengler who was desperate for a Czech solution, a long standing issue has been sorted out. You can now choose your speaking language and the location of your country! Just create a new text file named '''lang-override''' and write your language code into it. This is an example for Czech language:<br />
<br />
Code:<br />
<br />
cs_CZ.utf8<br />
<br />
Copy this file to /media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit, e.g. by attaching Palm to your PC as USB drive. Or you can use a file manager (like Internalz) to create the file on Palm directly. Or you can use terminal ... it's up to you.<br />
<br />
After launching Navit, all the menus are in the desired language and Navit gives audio instructions in the right language. And on top of that, the city selection screen has the right country preselected, Yeah!<br />
<br />
en_AU.utf8 works fine.<br />
<br />
== Using Map&Guide maps ==<br />
<br />
For all Europe uses. You can get a good Mapset from Amazon for 5 Euro => [http://www.amazon.de/Marco-Polo-Gro%C3%9Fer-Reiseplaner-DVD-ROM/dp/3829731426/ Marco Polo Großer Reiseplaner 2007/2008 (DVD-ROM) auf Amazon.de]<br />
<br />
The disadvantage is that the complete map is 3GB, if you only take Germany and the Major routes of Europe it is still 1GB.<br />
<br />
'''For Linux'''<br />
# Change directory to where DVD is mounted<br />
# Unpack data2.cab with: unshield x travel/data2.cab <br />
# Now, you should get a directory named like DIRLAN_GER.<br />
# Inside you find the maps...<br />
'''For Windows'''<br />
# Install the application<br />
# you find the maps in a folder inside the program folder.<br />
<br />
'''Installing the maps'''<br />
# The dem.map folder with all the majors roads and towns of Europe...<br />
# ...and five smpX.smp folders, which contain the details of countries:<br />
* smp1: DK,S,N,IS,FIN,N<br />
* smp2: F,E,GBZ,P,AND,MC<br />
* smp3: Germany<br />
* smp4: CZ,SK,RSM,EST,GEO,LV,LT,MD,RUS,UA,BY,GR,H,I,RO,CH,A,PL,AL,MT,CY,BG,FL,SRB,MNE,HR,SLO,BIH,MK,TR,AZ,AM,V<br />
* smp5: NL,B,GB,L,IRL <br />
# copy the dem.map folder into a place on your hard drive<br />
# remove all *d60* files from the dem.map folder<br />
# copy the dem.map folder into /MaypsNavit on you usb drive<br />
# copy the smpX.smp folder you need into /MaypsNavit/dem.map folder<br />
# open appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/navit.xml and change the following:<br />
<mapset enabled="yes"><br />
<map type="binfile" enabled="yes" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/*.bin"/><br />
</mapset><br />
to <br />
<mapset enabled="yes"><br />
<map type="binfile" enabled="yes" active="yes" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/osm/*.bin"/><br />
<map type="mg" enabled="yes" active="no" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/dem.map" /><br />
<map type="mg" enabled="yes" active="no" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/dem.map/smp3.smp" /><br />
</mapset><br />
<br />
Now you can switch between the OSM and the M&G maps from the settings/maps menu inside of Navit. The OSM map is the default. To make M&G the default you need to invert the active switches.<br />
<br />
I would expect the the Map&Guide maps for other countries will also work. But you need to find a cheep Product that contains them.<br />
<br />
If you have the m&g and the OSM maps on your USB drive then you can use the index from the m&g maps for searching and the OSM maps for routing and display. To do this you need to add the mapset this way:<br />
<mapset enabled="yes"><br />
<map type="mg" enabled="yes" active="no" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/dem.map/smp3.smp" /><br />
<map type="mg" enabled="yes" active="no" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/dem.map" /><br />
<map type="binfile" enabled="yes" active="yes" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/osm/*.bin"/><br />
</mapset><br />
It looks like Navit uses the street index of the first enabled map even if it is not active.<br />
<br />
== Changing the display of POI (Points of interest) symbols ==<br />
<br />
you can switch every POI symbol off and on, but there is no Menu function to do it. Connect your Pre in USB Mode and open "appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/navit_layout.xml".<br />
<br />
'''Make a backup of the file before you start and be careful. Navit will not start if you mess up the file !!!'''<br />
<br />
This file defines the different layouts that you can select (Car, Car-dark, bike and T@M). Every layout starts with a line like this:<br />
<br />
<layout name="Car" nightlayout="Car-dark" color="#ffefb7" font="Prelude"><br />
.<br />
.<br />
.<br />
</layout><br />
<br />
If you scroll down in the layout you will find the POI definitions. It starts with the line:<br />
<br />
<layer name="POI Symbols"><br />
<br />
For every defined POI symbole you find the following three lines:<br />
<br />
<itemgra item_types="poi_hotel" order="12-"><br />
<icon src="hotel.png"/><br />
</itemgra><br />
<br />
to switch the POI of simply remove the three lines or change them to<br />
<pre><br />
<!-- <itemgra item_types="poi_hotel" order="12-"><br />
<icon src="hotel.png"/><br />
</itemgra> <br />
--><br />
</pre><br />
Then you can switch them on later if you like.<br />
<br />
Navit loads the first layout that is defined in this file on startup. If you like to have a other layout you will need to move it to the beginning of the file. You can find more documentation in the navit_layout.xml file. The current version can be found in the git repository => http://git.webos-internals.org/?p=preware/cross-compile.git;a=blob;f=packages/apps/navit/files/navit_layout.xml<br />
<br />
<br />
== Understanding ISSUES with OpenStreet Maps ==<br />
<br />
There is a list of issues that first time users keep asking about. These are not WEBOS issues but due to how NAVIT operates with OpenStreet maps. Look at <br />
http://wiki.navit-project.org/index.php/OpenStreetMaps#Problems_with_OSM_and_navit_or_navigation_in_general<br />
Look at the section below called "On how to plan a route" for advice.<br />
<br />
== Why don't I get the new skins we see below? ==<br />
Installation of Navit only copies in the new XML files '''''if the Navit.xml is not there'''''. You need to delete the old ones to get the new. '''''Preware does NOT REMOVE THEM!'''''<br />
<br />
<br />
You find the xml files on the USB drive J: (or another drive X: when your Pre is in USB mode (not charge only mode) depending upon your PC setup.<br />
<br />
Located here J:/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/<br />
<br />
To switch between the three skins shown below you need to open the navit.xml in appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/ . At the bottom you find the section where the skin is included.<br />
Remove the comment markers from the skin you plan to use and add them to the current skin. For example to use < !-- <xi:include href="$NAVIT_USER_DATADIR/navit_gui.xml"/> -- > remove the < !-- and the -- > and ADD the same in front and back of the existing skin, for example <xi:include href="$NAVIT_USER_DATADIR/navit_gui_PreNav.xml"/>. There is NO SPACE between the < and -- and similarly between -- and > in the code. The space appears in this wiki text due to formatting issues.<br />
<br />
== Only as a start. Some images of the current skins: ==<br />
<br />
<br />
Skin PreNav:<br />
<br />
<br />

'''<br />
<br />
== How to get around the menus v3 (still not complete)''' ==<br />
<br />
''As an aside the screen captures don't work on full screen - sorry.''<br />
<br />
Main screen is seen here before GPS lock <br />
<br />
[[Image:Start_screen.png]] (here the last saved GPS position is used to choose the starting map).<br />
<br />
Press your finger on the screen and "push" the map around to get the desired location (where you are now or where you want to go) right into the centre of the screen (if you want to zoom into a location use the + button). Tap the screen and you will get the Main Menu shown here.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Main_menu.png]]<br />
Since we want to go somewhere tap on Actions.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Actions_menu.png]]<br />
Now you have a choice of the Location at the center of the map screen, the location of the car (no good here as GPS has not locked in), the Location of a saved Bookmark, or searching for a Location in your OSM or other map you have already loaded into your Pre at /media/NavitMaps/. Choosing Town we get this screen.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Town_view.png]]<br />
Now unless you live in the USA you can now enter a town. If not tap on the US flag and you should get this screen.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Town_view2.png]]<br />
Now Type in your country eg Au will give at least two countries to choose from. Select one and you will then get to enter a town, the street and then house. Lots of times this does not work too well as the House numbering is not available. In this case follow instructions below on How to Plan a Route. <br />
Here are some FAQ about searching http://wiki.navit-project.org/index.php/OpenStreetMaps#Search_for_my_town_works.2C_but_I_can.27t_find_my_street<br />
<br />
OK I have told NAVIT that I wish to go to my new destination and now its ready to go. <br />
<br />
<br />
[[Image:Navit_OK_to_drive.png]] <br />
<br />
<br />
It shows the way to go as a BIG FAT BLUE line as well as speaking the directions. If you want to read the directions Choose Route then Description. The voice reads these out as you go along the route. Now Rod Whitby can guess where I live.<br />
<br />
[[Now you want to change from a CAR to a Pedestrian, Horse or BIKE!]]<br />
<br />
Choose the Main Menu, then choose Settings and you will see this<br />
<br />
[[Image:Settings_menu.png]]<br />
Now choose Vehicle and you will see this<br />
<br />
[[Image:Vehicle_screen.png]]<br />
Now select GPS and you will see your last choice which is shown here as a car.<br />
<br />
[[Image:GPS_screen_car.png]]<br />
Press once on the row Change profile to: pedestrian (for example)<br />
Then at the top of the screen press on VEHICLE. This will get you back to the GPS screen. Now if you select GPS again you will get this screen confirming you are now a pedestrian.<br />
<br />
[[Image:GPS_screen_ped.png]]<br />
Enjoy :-)<br />
<br />
[[Changing Map view (or getting rid of all the POIs)]]<br />
<br />
If you want very few POIs the simplest option is MainMenu>>Settings>>Display>>Layout>>T@H<br />
<br />
[[Image:choose T@H.png]] [[Image:T@H view.png]] <br />
Go back to map and you will see hardly any POIs. <br />
<br />
Helpful notes from vreihen on 18 and 26 May 2010 now follow,<br />
<br />
== On starting up issues ie '''why the map layer isn't loading?''' ==<br />
<br />
<br />
When Navit first starts up, it uses the north pole as it's initial position (if I recall correctly) until it gets an initial GPS fix. Your map layer problem may be that the GPS point is still at the north pole, or perhaps outside of the map that you have installed. If you tap on the center of the screen and tap on actions, there will be an icon of a car and an icon of a globe. The car icon is your current position, and should contain a non-zero latitude and longitude if your GPS is working and has a fix. Verify that those coordinates are where you are located before you dig any deeper into the maps as the cause of the missing layer.<br />
<br />
The information panels at the bottom of the screen are only populated when Navit is navigating between two points. Otherwise, they should be blank.<br />
<br />
If all else fails with the maps, you could download the entire planet.bin if you have 3.5 gigs of free USB flash space in your phone to eliminate the map file as the cause of your problem.....<br />
<br />
== '''On how to plan a route''' ==<br />
<br />
'''OPTION 1 with GPS'''<br />
<br />
1) Scroll through the map until you can see the location that you want to drive to.<br />
<br />
2) Zoom in tight on the screen, if necessary. Tap on your destination on the map.<br />
<br />
3) When Navit opens it's main menu, tap on actions.<br />
<br />
4) The car icon should show your current latitude/longitude. <br />
<br />
5) The globe icon should show the destination latitude/longitude that you tapped on the map.<br />
<br />
6) Tap on the globe icon.<br />
<br />
7) From the menu that pops up, select either bookmark this location (recommended) or navigate to this location.<br />
<br />
8) If you chose to bookmark it, tap actions | bookmarks, then tap your bookmark. Select navigate to this location.<br />
<br />
9) Depending on the distance you asked it to go, Navit should pop up the first driving direction and speak it to you within 5-10 seconds.<br />
<br />
The OSM map data apparently does not contain the concept of a state, so navigating by state/city/street lookup is difficult to impossible. Navigating by bookmark on the map is the only option for the time being.....<br />
<br />
<br />
'''OPTION 2 No GPS needed'''<br />
<br />
The map you see is centred on your last GPS/chosen location. Now you wish to plan a route at another location '''NOT''' on your current map so GPS is not going to work. You will not get a map on the screen for this location until the end of this setup.<br />
<br />
1) Remove all maps except the one that includes the locations you plan to use later. (if you fully understand how maps work in NAVIT this step is not necessary of course but for first timers it makes things simple to diagnose if you have troubles doing these steps.)<br />
<br />
2) Open bookmarks.txt ===== To do the edit go to USB mode, open R:\appdata\org.webosinternals.navit\bookmark.txt with any text editor you like (replace R: with your Drive Letter)<br />
<br />
3) add a new line<br />
<br />
mg: longitude latitude type=bookmark label="Location 1"<br />
<br />
Format is longitude and latitude, both in DD.ddd coordinates. For example Honolulu Stadium is -157.829 21.295, note the need for "-" for W longitude and "-" for S latitude. DD.ddd can have more d's added.<br />
<br />
4) save bookmarks.txt<br />
<br />
5) Start navit and navigate via bookmarks to "Location 1"<br />
<br />
6) If you want to go from place to place just add more bookmarks, suggest arrange them inside a new folder called "My Trip". <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
''' Changing The Starting position'''<br />
<br />
You might want to change the starting position of navit, especially if you are using Navit without a GPS. You can get your coordinates here: http://itouchmap.com/latlong.html<br />
<br />
You can change the starting position in navit.xml, here :<br />
<br />
<navit gui="..." graphics="..." center="4808 N 1134 E" zoom="128" ><br />
<br />
The latitude and longitude are written as multiplied by 100, i.e. you won't see the decimal point. For example, instead of 48.08, enter 4808.<br />
<br />
== So you want Miles not km? ==<br />
<br />
NAVIT has this link http://trac.navit-project.org/ticket/12<br />
<br />
After 3 years of waiting "Yes you can". You should get miles and feet, sorry UK yds are not provided.<br />
<br />
If you want to use imperial, just add imperial="1" into your navit tag, i.e.<br />
<br />
<navit ... imperial="1" ... ><br />
<br />
This is in the navit.xml text file about Line 36. This file is in \appdata\org.webosinternals.navit so you do this in USB mode with a text editor.</div>PreRunrhttp://wiki.webos-internals.org/index.php?title=Application:Navit&diff=13625Application:Navit2011-03-06T01:03:34Z<p>PreRunr: /* So you want Miles not km? */</p>

== Summary ==<br />
<br />
[[Image:Navit_icon.png|50px|left]]<br />
Navit is an open source (GPL) car navigation software for Linux systems. It will display your position on a map (in bird-view mode or as a 3D "visualization") from GPS sensor data, and can provide precise route calculation, touch screen functionality and supports Points of Interest (POI), which can be extended via an easy to use plugin system. Unlike other navigation systems, Navit maps are dynamically generated in real time from vector data. Information about Navit can be found [http://wiki.navit-project.org/index.php/Main_Page on the Navit wiki].<br />
<br />
== Release Notes ==<br />
<br />
The release notes can be found at [[Application:NavitReleaseNotes]].<br />
<br />
== Where do you get the latest version of Navit for WebOS 1.4.5 and above ? ==<br />
<br />
WEBOS 2.1.0 appears to be working OK on a O2 GSM Pre (minus) with the most recent build of 0.5.0 4238M (at 27 Feb 2011).<br />
<br />
'''ATTENTION WEBOS 2.0 and 2.01 ===> Palm confirmed that we are hitting a permission bug in the PDK Forums webOS &bull; View topic - Using PDL_ServiceCallWithCallback for location service: fail.It should be fixed in the next update of webOS.'''<br />
<br />
There is a bug in the OTA (over the air) update from 1.4.1 to 1.4.5 that prevents Navit from working. To check for the bug open a Terminal or Novaterm and issue this command 'cat /etc/fstab|grep internal'. You should get the following line:<br />
<br />
/dev/mapper/store-media /media/internal vfat utf8,shortname=mixed,umask=0000 0 0<br />
<br />
If the response from your device does not have the 'umask=0000' statement then you need to fix this first as explained here => http://developer.palm.com/distribution/viewtopic.php?p=34750<br />
Thanks to Rod there is now an app in The Preware Testing feed that can do the fix for you => http://forums.precentral.net/showthread.php?p=2556103<br />
<br />
Eine Deutsche Anleitung zum beheben des Problemes ist hier zu finden => http://www.nexave.de/forum/39654-fehler-im-ota-1-4-5-update.html<br />
<br />
# Open Preware. Select available applications. Then type 'Navit' and install as any other WebOS application.<br />
# This will automatically install two other needed packages if you not have installed them. The packages are 'speechd' and 'locale'.<br />
# You settings are migrated if you had installed the Navit Alpha before. Then you can skip step 4-8 the rest.<br />
# Now start Navit. You will see the OSD but no map as this will be installed in the next step. This first start will create the default settings and the empty folder for the map.<br />
# Quit Navit and connect your Pre to your PC in USB mode.<br />
# You also need a map. '''There was a recent problem with the Navit planet extractor - this should now be fixed as of 19:22, 18 October 2010 (UTC).'''<br />

# Try it out!<br />
# Multiple maps. Using *.bin will not actually grab multiple map files but actually grab just the FIRST map file in the directory. Note that *.bin still does have it's use... If you are using just a single map file in a single directory then whenever you download an updated map file you can place it into the directory and not have to worry about modifying the navit.xml file with the new map name. Just remember to delete your old map file from the directory. To specify multiple map files you will have to add multiple lines to the navit.xml file with the file name for each map, switch between them via the settings/maps onscreen menu.

For all Europe uses. You can get a good Mapset from Amazon for 5 Euro => [http://www.amazon.de/Marco-Polo-Gro%C3%9Fer-Reiseplaner-DVD-ROM/dp/3829731426/ Marco Polo Großer Reiseplaner 2007/2008 (DVD-ROM) auf Amazon.de]<br />
<br />
The disadvantage is that the complete map is 3GB, if you only take Germany and the Major routes of Europe it is still 1GB.<br />
<br />
'''For Linux'''<br />
# Change directory to where DVD is mounted<br />
# Unpack data2.cab with: unshield x travel/data2.cab <br />
# Now, you should get a directory named like DIRLAN_GER.<br />
# Inside you find the maps...<br />
'''For Windows'''<br />
# Install the application<br />
# you find the maps in a folder inside the program folder.<br />
<br />
'''Installing the maps'''<br />
# The dem.map folder with all the majors roads and towns of Europe...<br />
# ...and five smpX.smp folders, which contain the details of countries:<br />
* smp1: DK,S,N,IS,FIN,N<br />
* smp2: F,E,GBZ,P,AND,MC<br />
* smp3: Germany<br />
* smp4: CZ,SK,RSM,EST,GEO,LV,LT,MD,RUS,UA,BY,GR,H,I,RO,CH,A,PL,AL,MT,CY,BG,FL,SRB,MNE,HR,SLO,BIH,MK,TR,AZ,AM,V<br />
* smp5: NL,B,GB,L,IRL <br />
# copy the dem.map folder into a place on your hard drive<br />
# remove all *d60* files from the dem.map folder<br />
# copy the dem.map folder into /MaypsNavit on you usb drive<br />
# copy the smpX.smp folder you need into /MaypsNavit/dem.map folder<br />
# open appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/navit.xml and change the following:<br />
<mapset enabled="yes"><br />
<map type="binfile" enabled="yes" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/*.bin"/><br />
</mapset><br />
to <br />
<mapset enabled="yes"><br />
<map type="binfile" enabled="yes" active="yes" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/osm/*.bin"/><br />
<map type="mg" enabled="yes" active="no" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/dem.map" /><br />
<map type="mg" enabled="yes" active="no" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/dem.map/smp3.smp" /><br />
</mapset><br />
<br />
Now you can switch between the OSM and the M&G maps from the settings/maps menu inside of Navit. The OSM map is the default. To make M&G the default you need to invert the active switches.<br />
<br />
I would expect the the Map&Guide maps for other countries will also work. But you need to find a cheep Product that contains them.<br />
<br />
If you have the m&g and the OSM maps on your USB drive then you can use the index from the m&g maps for searching and the OSM maps for routing and display. To do this you need to add the mapset this way:<br />
<mapset enabled="yes"><br />
<map type="mg" enabled="yes" active="no" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/dem.map/smp3.smp" /><br />
<map type="mg" enabled="yes" active="no" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/dem.map" /><br />
<map type="binfile" enabled="yes" active="yes" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/osm/*.bin"/><br />
</mapset><br />
It looks like Navit uses the street index of the first enabled map even if it is not active.<br />
<br />
== Changing the display of POI (Points of interest) symbols ==<br />
<br />
you can switch every POI symbol off and on, but there is no Menu function to do it. Connect your Pre in USB Mode and open "appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/navit_layout.xml".<br />
<br />
'''Make a backup of the file before you start and be careful. Navit will not start if you mess up the file !!!'''<br />
<br />
This file defines the different layouts that you can select (Car, Car-dark, bike and T@M). Every layout starts with a line like this:<br />
<br />
<layout name="Car" nightlayout="Car-dark" color="#ffefb7" font="Prelude"><br />
.<br />
.<br />
.<br />
</layout><br />
<br />
If you scroll down in the layout you will find the POI definitions. It starts with the line:<br />
<br />
<layer name="POI Symbols"><br />
<br />
For every defined POI symbole you find the following three lines:<br />
<br />
<itemgra item_types="poi_hotel" order="12-"><br />
<icon src="hotel.png"/><br />
</itemgra><br />
<br />
to switch the POI of simply remove the three lines or change them to<br />
<pre><br />
<!-- <itemgra item_types="poi_hotel" order="12-"><br />
<icon src="hotel.png"/><br />
</itemgra> <br />
--><br />
</pre><br />
Then you can switch them on later if you like.<br />
<br />
Navit loads the first layout that is defined in this file on startup. If you like to have a other layout you will need to move it to the beginning of the file. You can find more documentation in the navit_layout.xml file. The current version can be found in the git repository => http://git.webos-internals.org/?p=preware/cross-compile.git;a=blob;f=packages/apps/navit/files/navit_layout.xml<br />
<br />
<br />
== Understanding ISSUES with OpenStreet Maps ==<br />
<br />
There is a list of issues that first time users keep asking about. These are not WEBOS issues but due to how NAVIT operates with OpenStreet maps. Look at <br />
http://wiki.navit-project.org/index.php/OpenStreetMaps#Problems_with_OSM_and_navit_or_navigation_in_general<br />
Look at the section below called "On how to plan a route" for advice.<br />
<br />
== Why don't I get the new skins we see below? ==<br />
Installation of Navit only copies in the new XML files '''''if the Navit.xml is not there'''''. You need to delete the old ones to get the new. '''''Preware does NOT REMOVE THEM!'''''<br />
<br />
<br />
You find the xml files on the USB drive J: (or another drive X: when your Pre is in USB mode (not charge only mode) depending upon your PC setup.<br />
<br />
Located here J:/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/<br />
<br />
To switch between the three skins shown below you need to open the navit.xml in appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/ . At the bottom you find the section where the skin is included.<br />
Remove the comment markers from the skin you plan to use and add them to the current skin. For example to use < !-- <xi:include href="$NAVIT_USER_DATADIR/navit_gui.xml"/> -- > remove the < !-- and the -- > and ADD the same in front and back of the existing skin, for example <xi:include href="$NAVIT_USER_DATADIR/navit_gui_PreNav.xml"/>. There is NO SPACE between the < and -- and similarly between -- and > in the code. The space appears in this wiki text due to formatting issues.<br />
<br />
== Only as a start. Some images of the current skins: ==<br />
<br />

<br />
== How to get around the menus v3 (still not complete)''' ==<br />
<br />
''As an aside the screen captures don't work on full screen - sorry.''<br />
<br />
Main screen is seen here before GPS lock <br />
<br />
[[Image:Start_screen.png]] (here the last saved GPS position is used to choose the starting map).<br />
<br />
Press your finger on the screen and "push" the map around to get the desired location (where you are now or where you want to go) right into the centre of the screen (if you want to zoom into a location use the + button). Tap the screen and you will get the Main Menu shown here.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Main_menu.png]]<br />
Since we want to go somewhere tap on Actions.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Actions_menu.png]]<br />
Now you have a choice of the Location at the center of the map screen, the location of the car (no good here as GPS has not locked in), the Location of a saved Bookmark, or searching for a Location in your OSM or other map you have already loaded into your Pre at /media/NavitMaps/. Choosing Town we get this screen.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Town_view.png]]<br />
Now unless you live in the USA you can now enter a town. If not tap on the US flag and you should get this screen.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Town_view2.png]]<br />
Now Type in your country eg Au will give at least two countries to choose from. Select one and you will then get to enter a town, the street and then house. Lots of times this does not work too well as the House numbering is not available. In this case follow instructions below on How to Plan a Route. <br />
Here are some FAQ about searching http://wiki.navit-project.org/index.php/OpenStreetMaps#Search_for_my_town_works.2C_but_I_can.27t_find_my_street<br />
<br />
OK I have told NAVIT that I wish to go to my new destination and now its ready to go. <br />
<br />
<br />
[[Image:Navit_OK_to_drive.png]] <br />
<br />
<br />
It shows the way to go as a BIG FAT BLUE line as well as speaking the directions. If you want to read the directions Choose Route then Description. The voice reads these out as you go along the route. Now Rod Whitby can guess where I live.<br />
<br />
[[Now you want to change from a CAR to a Pedestrian, Horse or BIKE!]]<br />
<br />
Choose the Main Menu, then choose Settings and you will see this<br />
<br />
[[Image:Settings_menu.png]]<br />
Now choose Vehicle and you will see this<br />
<br />
[[Image:Vehicle_screen.png]]<br />
Now select GPS and you will see your last choice which is shown here as a car.<br />
<br />
[[Image:GPS_screen_car.png]]<br />
Press once on the row Change profile to: pedestrian (for example)<br />
Then at the top of the screen press on VEHICLE. This will get you back to the GPS screen. Now if you select GPS again you will get this screen confirming you are now a pedestrian.<br />
<br />
[[Image:GPS_screen_ped.png]]<br />
Enjoy :-)<br />
<br />
[[Changing Map view (or getting rid of all the POIs)]]<br />
<br />
If you want very few POIs the simplest option is MainMenu>>Settings>>Display>>Layout>>T@H<br />
<br />
[[Image:choose T@H.png]] [[Image:T@H view.png]] <br />
Go back to map and you will see hardly any POIs. <br />
<br />
Helpful notes from vreihen on 18 and 26 May 2010 now follow,<br />
<br />
== On starting up issues ie '''why the map layer isn't loading?''' ==<br />
<br />
<br />
When Navit first starts up, it uses the north pole as it's initial position (if I recall correctly) until it gets an initial GPS fix. Your map layer problem may be that the GPS point is still at the north pole, or perhaps outside of the map that you have installed. If you tap on the center of the screen and tap on actions, there will be an icon of a car and an icon of a globe. The car icon is your current position, and should contain a non-zero latitude and longitude if your GPS is working and has a fix. Verify that those coordinates are where you are located before you dig any deeper into the maps as the cause of the missing layer.<br />
<br />
The information panels at the bottom of the screen are only populated when Navit is navigating between two points. Otherwise, they should be blank.<br />
<br />
If all else fails with the maps, you could download the entire planet.bin if you have 3.5 gigs of free USB flash space in your phone to eliminate the map file as the cause of your problem.....<br />
<br />
== '''On how to plan a route''' ==<br />
<br />
'''OPTION 1 with GPS'''<br />
<br />
1) Scroll through the map until you can see the location that you want to drive to.<br />
<br />
2) Zoom in tight on the screen, if necessary. Tap on your destination on the map.<br />
<br />
3) When Navit opens it's main menu, tap on actions.<br />
<br />
4) The car icon should show your current latitude/longitude. <br />
<br />
5) The globe icon should show the destination latitude/longitude that you tapped on the map.<br />
<br />
6) Tap on the globe icon.<br />
<br />
7) From the menu that pops up, select either bookmark this location (recommended) or navigate to this location.<br />
<br />
8) If you chose to bookmark it, tap actions | bookmarks, then tap your bookmark. Select navigate to this location.<br />
<br />
9) Depending on the distance you asked it to go, Navit should pop up the first driving direction and speak it to you within 5-10 seconds.<br />
<br />
The OSM map data apparently does not contain the concept of a state, so navigating by state/city/street lookup is difficult to impossible. Navigating by bookmark on the map is the only option for the time being.....<br />
<br />
<br />
'''OPTION 2 No GPS needed'''<br />
<br />
The map you see is centred on your last GPS/chosen location. Now you wish to plan a route at another location '''NOT''' on your current map so GPS is not going to work. You will not get a map on the screen for this location until the end of this setup.<br />
<br />
1) Remove all maps except the one that includes the locations you plan to use later. (if you fully understand how maps work in NAVIT this step is not necessary of course but for first timers it makes things simple to diagnose if you have troubles doing these steps.)<br />
<br />
2) Open bookmarks.txt ===== To do the edit go to USB mode, open R:\appdata\org.webosinternals.navit\bookmark.txt with any text editor you like (replace R: with your Drive Letter)<br />
<br />
3) add a new line<br />
<br />
mg: longitude latitude type=bookmark label="Location 1"<br />
<br />
Format is longitude and latitude, both in DD.ddd coordinates. For example Honolulu Stadium is -157.829 21.295, note the need for "-" for W longitude and "-" for S latitude. DD.ddd can have more d's added.<br />
<br />
4) save bookmarks.txt<br />
<br />
5) Start navit and navigate via bookmarks to "Location 1"<br />
<br />
6) If you want to go from place to place just add more bookmarks, suggest arrange them inside a new folder called "My Trip". <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
''' Changing The Starting position'''<br />
<br />
You might want to change the starting position of navit, especially if you are using Navit without a GPS. You can get your coordinates here: http://itouchmap.com/latlong.html<br />
<br />
You can change the starting position in navit.xml, here :<br />
<br />
<navit gui="..." graphics="..." center="4808 N 1134 E" zoom="128" ><br />
<br />
The latitude and longitude are written as multiplied by 100, i.e. you won't see the decimal point. For example, instead of 48.08, enter 4808.<br />
<br />
== So you want Miles not km? ==<br />
<br />
NAVIT has this link http://trac.navit-project.org/ticket/12<br />
<br />
After 3 years of waiting "Yes you can". You should get miles and feet, sorry UK yds are not provided.<br />
<br />
If you want to use imperial, just add imperial="1" into your navit tag, i.e.<br />
<br />
<navit ... imperial="1" ... ><br />
<br />
This is in the navit.xml text file about Line 36. This file is in \appdata\org.webosinternals.navit so you do this in USB mode with a text editor.</div>PreRunrhttp://wiki.webos-internals.org/index.php?title=Application:Navit&diff=13133Application:Navit2011-02-27T12:54:57Z<p>PreRunr: /* So you want Miles not km? */</p>

== Summary ==<br />
<br />
[[Image:Navit_icon.png|50px|left]]<br />
Navit is an open source (GPL) car navigation software for Linux systems. It will display your position on a map (in bird-view mode or as a 3D "visualization") from GPS sensor data, and can provide precise route calculation, touch screen functionality and supports Points of Interest (POI), which can be extended via an easy to use plugin system. Unlike other navigation systems, Navit maps are dynamically generated in real time from vector data. Information about Navit can be found [http://wiki.navit-project.org/index.php/Main_Page on the Navit wiki].<br />
<br />
== Release Notes ==<br />
<br />
The release notes can be found at [[Application:NavitReleaseNotes]].<br />
<br />
== Where do you get the latest version of Navit for WebOS 1.4.5 and above ? ==<br />
<br />
WEBOS 2.1.0 appears to be working OK on a O2 GSM Pre (minus) with the most recent build of 0.5.0 4238M (at 27 Feb 2011).<br />
<br />
'''ATTENTION WEBOS 2.0 and 2.01 ===> Palm confirmed that we are hitting a permission bug in the PDK Forums webOS &bull; View topic - Using PDL_ServiceCallWithCallback for location service: fail.It should be fixed in the next update of webOS.'''<br />
<br />
There is a bug in the OTA (over the air) update from 1.4.1 to 1.4.5 that prevents Navit from working. To check for the bug open a Terminal or Novaterm and issue this command 'cat /etc/fstab|grep internal'. You should get the following line:<br />
<br />
/dev/mapper/store-media /media/internal vfat utf8,shortname=mixed,umask=0000 0 0<br />
<br />
If the response from your device does not have the 'umask=0000' statement then you need to fix this first as explained here => http://developer.palm.com/distribution/viewtopic.php?p=34750<br />
Thanks to Rod there is now an app in The Preware Testing feed that can do the fix for you => http://forums.precentral.net/showthread.php?p=2556103<br />
<br />
Eine Deutsche Anleitung zum beheben des Problemes ist hier zu finden => http://www.nexave.de/forum/39654-fehler-im-ota-1-4-5-update.html<br />
<br />
# Open Preware. Select available applications. Then type 'Navit' and install as any other WebOS application.<br />
# This will automatically install two other needed packages if you not have installed them. The packages are 'speechd' and 'locale'.<br />
# You settings are migrated if you had installed the Navit Alpha before. Then you can skip step 4-8 the rest.<br />
# Now start Navit. You will see the OSD but no map as this will be installed in the next step. This first start will create the default settings and the empty folder for the map.<br />
# Quit Navit and connect your Pre to your PC in USB mode.<br />
# You also need a map. '''There was a recent problem with the Navit planet extractor - this should now be fixed as of 19:22, 18 October 2010 (UTC).'''<br />

# Put the *.bin file into the folder appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps on the USB drive of your Pre.<br />
# To switch between the three skins you need to open the navit.xml in appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/ . At the bottom you find the section where the skin is included. Remove the comment markers from the skin you plan to use and add them to the current skin.<br />
# Try it out!<br />
# Multiple maps. Using *.bin will not actually grab multiple map files but actually grab just the FIRST map file in the directory. Note that *.bin still does have it's use... If you are using just a single map file in a single directory then whenever you download an updated map file you can place it into the directory and not have to worry about modifying the navit.xml file with the new map name. Just remember to delete your old map file from the directory. To specify multiple map files you will have to add multiple lines to the navit.xml file with the file name for each map, switch between them via the settings/maps onscreen menu. Extra maps may be for your holiday trips to Hawaii allowing you to set up bookmarks in advance without GPS using the instructions here http://www.webos-internals.org/wiki/Application:Navit#On_how_to_plan_a_route. Having the Garmin BaseMap in your mapset allows you to see the whole world when you zoom out.<br />
To do this you need to add the mapset this way:<br />
<mapset enabled="yes"><br />
<map type="binfile" enabled="yes" active="yes" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/osm/Australia.navit.bin"/><br />
<map type="binfile" enabled="yes" active="no" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/osm/Hawaii.navit.bin"/><br />
<map type="garmin" enabled="yes" active="no" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/garmin/gmapbmap.img"/><br />
</mapset><br />
# Look at appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/navit.log on you USB drive if Navit is not working as expected. If Navit has problems it writes the information into this log file.<br />

== Using Map&Guide maps ==<br />
<br />
For all Europe uses. You can get a good Mapset from Amazon for 5 Euro => [http://www.amazon.de/Marco-Polo-Gro%C3%9Fer-Reiseplaner-DVD-ROM/dp/3829731426/ Marco Polo Großer Reiseplaner 2007/2008 (DVD-ROM) auf Amazon.de]<br />

The disadvantage is that the complete map is 3GB, if you only take Germany and the Major routes of Europe it is still 1GB.<br />

<map type="mg" enabled="yes" active="no" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/dem.map" /><br />
<map type="mg" enabled="yes" active="no" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/dem.map/smp3.smp" /><br />
</mapset><br />
<br />
Now you can switch between the OSM and the M&G maps from the settings/maps menu inside of Navit. The OSM map is the default. To make M&G the default you need to invert the active switches.<br />
<br />
I would expect the the Map&Guide maps for other countries will also work. But you need to find a cheep Product that contains them.<br />
<br />
If you have the m&g and the OSM maps on your USB drive then you can use the index from the m&g maps for searching and the OSM maps for routing and display. To do this you need to add the mapset this way:<br />
<mapset enabled="yes"><br />
<map type="mg" enabled="yes" active="no" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/dem.map/smp3.smp" /><br />
<map type="mg" enabled="yes" active="no" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/dem.map" /><br />
<map type="binfile" enabled="yes" active="yes" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/osm/*.bin"/><br />
</mapset><br />
It looks like Navit uses the street index of the first enabled map even if it is not active.<br />
<br />
== Changing the display of POI (Points of interest) symbols ==<br />
<br />
you can switch every POI symbol off and on, but there is no Menu function to do it. Connect your Pre in USB Mode and open "appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/navit_layout.xml".<br />
<br />
'''Make a backup of the file before you start and be careful. Navit will not start if you mess up the file !!!'''<br />
<br />
This file defines the different layouts that you can select (Car, Car-dark, bike and T@M). Every layout starts with a line like this:<br />
<br />
<layout name="Car" nightlayout="Car-dark" color="#ffefb7" font="Prelude"><br />
.<br />
.<br />
.<br />
</layout><br />
<br />
If you scroll down in the layout you will find the POI definitions. It starts with the line:<br />
<br />
<layer name="POI Symbols"><br />
<br />
For every defined POI symbole you find the following three lines:<br />
<br />
<itemgra item_types="poi_hotel" order="12-"><br />
<icon src="hotel.png"/><br />
</itemgra><br />
<br />
to switch the POI of simply remove the three lines or change them to<br />
<pre><br />
<!-- <itemgra item_types="poi_hotel" order="12-"><br />
<icon src="hotel.png"/><br />
</itemgra> <br />
--><br />
</pre><br />
Then you can switch them on later if you like.<br />
<br />
Navit loads the first layout that is defined in this file on startup. If you like to have a other layout you will need to move it to the beginning of the file. You can find more documentation in the navit_layout.xml file. The current version can be found in the git repository => http://git.webos-internals.org/?p=preware/cross-compile.git;a=blob;f=packages/apps/navit/files/navit_layout.xml<br />
<br />
<br />
== Understanding ISSUES with OpenStreet Maps ==<br />
<br />
There is a list of issues that first time users keep asking about. These are not WEBOS issues but due to how NAVIT operates with OpenStreet maps. Look at <br />
http://wiki.navit-project.org/index.php/OpenStreetMaps#Problems_with_OSM_and_navit_or_navigation_in_general<br />
Look at the section below called "On how to plan a route" for advice.<br />
<br />
== Why don't I get the new skins we see below? ==<br />
Installation of Navit only copies in the new XML files '''''if the Navit.xml is not there'''''. You need to delete the old ones to get the new. '''''Preware does NOT REMOVE THEM!'''''<br />
<br />
<br />
You find the xml files on the USB drive J: (or another drive X: when your Pre is in USB mode (not charge only mode) depending upon your PC setup.<br />
<br />
Located here J:/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/<br />
<br />
To switch between the three skins shown below you need to open the navit.xml in appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/ . At the bottom you find the section where the skin is included.<br />
Remove the comment markers from the skin you plan to use and add them to the current skin. For example to use < !-- <xi:include href="$NAVIT_USER_DATADIR/navit_gui.xml"/> -- > remove the < !-- and the -- > and ADD the same in front and back of the existing skin, for example <xi:include href="$NAVIT_USER_DATADIR/navit_gui_PreNav.xml"/>. There is NO SPACE between the < and -- and similarly between -- and > in the code. The space appears in this wiki text due to formatting issues.<br />
<br />
== Only as a start. Some images of the current skins: ==<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
== How to get around the menus v3 (still not complete)''' ==<br />
<br />
''As an aside the screen captures don't work on full screen - sorry.''<br />
<br />
Main screen is seen here before GPS lock <br />
<br />
[[Image:Start_screen.png]] (here the last saved GPS position is used to choose the starting map).<br />
<br />
Press your finger on the screen and "push" the map around to get the desired location (where you are now or where you want to go) right into the centre of the screen (if you want to zoom into a location use the + button). Tap the screen and you will get the Main Menu shown here.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Main_menu.png]]<br />
Since we want to go somewhere tap on Actions.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Actions_menu.png]]<br />
Now you have a choice of the Location at the center of the map screen, the location of the car (no good here as GPS has not locked in), the Location of a saved Bookmark, or searching for a Location in your OSM or other map you have already loaded into your Pre at /media/NavitMaps/. Choosing Town we get this screen.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Town_view.png]]<br />
Now unless you live in the USA you can now enter a town. If not tap on the US flag and you should get this screen.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Town_view2.png]]<br />
Now Type in your country eg Au will give at least two countries to choose from. Select one and you will then get to enter a town, the street and then house. Lots of times this does not work too well as the House numbering is not available. In this case follow instructions below on How to Plan a Route. <br />
Here are some FAQ about searching http://wiki.navit-project.org/index.php/OpenStreetMaps#Search_for_my_town_works.2C_but_I_can.27t_find_my_street<br />
<br />
OK I have told NAVIT that I wish to go to my new destination and now its ready to go. <br />
<br />
<br />
[[Image:Navit_OK_to_drive.png]] <br />
<br />
<br />
It shows the way to go as a BIG FAT BLUE line as well as speaking the directions. If you want to read the directions Choose Route then Description. The voice reads these out as you go along the route. Now Rod Whitby can guess where I live.<br />
<br />
[[Now you want to change from a CAR to a Pedestrian, Horse or BIKE!]]<br />
<br />
Choose the Main Menu, then choose Settings and you will see this<br />
<br />
[[Image:Settings_menu.png]]<br />
Now choose Vehicle and you will see this<br />
<br />
[[Image:Vehicle_screen.png]]<br />
Now select GPS and you will see your last choice which is shown here as a car.<br />
<br />
[[Image:GPS_screen_car.png]]<br />
Press once on the row Change profile to: pedestrian (for example)<br />
Then at the top of the screen press on VEHICLE. This will get you back to the GPS screen. Now if you select GPS again you will get this screen confirming you are now a pedestrian.<br />
<br />
[[Image:GPS_screen_ped.png]]<br />
Enjoy :-)<br />
<br />
[[Changing Map view (or getting rid of all the POIs)]]<br />
<br />
If you want very few POIs the simplest option is MainMenu>>Settings>>Display>>Layout>>T@H<br />
<br />
[[Image:choose T@H.png]] [[Image:T@H view.png]] <br />
Go back to map and you will see hardly any POIs. <br />
<br />
Helpful notes from vreihen on 18 and 26 May 2010 now follow,<br />
<br />
== On starting up issues ie '''why the map layer isn't loading?''' ==<br />
<br />
<br />
When Navit first starts up, it uses the north pole as it's initial position (if I recall correctly) until it gets an initial GPS fix. Your map layer problem may be that the GPS point is still at the north pole, or perhaps outside of the map that you have installed. If you tap on the center of the screen and tap on actions, there will be an icon of a car and an icon of a globe. The car icon is your current position, and should contain a non-zero latitude and longitude if your GPS is working and has a fix. Verify that those coordinates are where you are located before you dig any deeper into the maps as the cause of the missing layer.<br />
<br />
The information panels at the bottom of the screen are only populated when Navit is navigating between two points. Otherwise, they should be blank.<br />
<br />
If all else fails with the maps, you could download the entire planet.bin if you have 3.5 gigs of free USB flash space in your phone to eliminate the map file as the cause of your problem.....<br />
<br />
== '''On how to plan a route''' ==<br />
<br />
'''OPTION 1 with GPS'''<br />
<br />
1) Scroll through the map until you can see the location that you want to drive to.<br />
<br />
2) Zoom in tight on the screen, if necessary. Tap on your destination on the map.<br />
<br />
3) When Navit opens it's main menu, tap on actions.<br />
<br />
4) The car icon should show your current latitude/longitude. <br />
<br />
5) The globe icon should show the destination latitude/longitude that you tapped on the map.<br />
<br />
6) Tap on the globe icon.<br />
<br />
7) From the menu that pops up, select either bookmark this location (recommended) or navigate to this location.<br />
<br />
8) If you chose to bookmark it, tap actions | bookmarks, then tap your bookmark. Select navigate to this location.<br />
<br />
9) Depending on the distance you asked it to go, Navit should pop up the first driving direction and speak it to you within 5-10 seconds.<br />
<br />
The OSM map data apparently does not contain the concept of a state, so navigating by state/city/street lookup is difficult to impossible. Navigating by bookmark on the map is the only option for the time being.....<br />
<br />
<br />
'''OPTION 2 No GPS needed'''<br />
<br />
The map you see is centred on your last GPS/chosen location. Now you wish to plan a route at another location '''NOT''' on your current map so GPS is not going to work. You will not get a map on the screen for this location until the end of this setup.<br />
<br />
1) Remove all maps except the one that includes the locations you plan to use later. (if you fully understand how maps work in NAVIT this step is not necessary of course but for first timers it makes things simple to diagnose if you have troubles doing these steps.)<br />
<br />
2) Open bookmarks.txt ===== To do the edit go to USB mode, open R:\appdata\org.webosinternals.navit\bookmark.txt with any text editor you like (replace R: with your Drive Letter)<br />
<br />
3) add a new line<br />
<br />
mg: longitude latitude type=bookmark label="Location 1"<br />
<br />
Format is longitude and latitude, both in DD.ddd coordinates. For example Honolulu Stadium is -157.829 21.295, note the need for "-" for W longitude and "-" for S latitude. DD.ddd can have more d's added.<br />
<br />
4) save bookmarks.txt<br />
<br />
5) Start navit and navigate via bookmarks to "Location 1"<br />
<br />
6) If you want to go from place to place just add more bookmarks, suggest arrange them inside a new folder called "My Trip". <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
''' Changing The Starting position'''<br />
<br />
You might want to change the starting position of navit, especially if you are using Navit without a GPS. You can get your coordinates here: http://itouchmap.com/latlong.html<br />
<br />
You can change the starting position in navit.xml, here :<br />
<br />
<navit gui="..." graphics="..." center="4808 N 1134 E" zoom="128" ><br />
<br />
The latitude and longitude are written as multiplied by 100, i.e. you won't see the decimal point. For example, instead of 48.08, enter 4808.<br />
<br />
== So you want Miles not km? ==<br />
<br />
NAVIT has this link http://trac.navit-project.org/ticket/12<br />
<br />
After 3 years of waiting "Yes you can". You should get miles and feet, sorry UK yds are not provided.<br />
<br />
If you want to use imperial, just add imperial="1" into your navit tag, i.e.<br />
<br />
<navit ... imperial="1" ... ><br />

== Summary ==<br />
<br />
[[Image:Navit_icon.png|50px|left]]<br />
Navit is an open source (GPL) car navigation software for Linux systems. It will display your position on a map (in bird-view mode or as a 3D "visualization") from GPS sensor data, and can provide precise route calculation, touch screen functionality and supports Points of Interest (POI), which can be extended via an easy to use plugin system. Unlike other navigation systems, Navit maps are dynamically generated in real time from vector data. Information about Navit can be found [http://wiki.navit-project.org/index.php/Main_Page on the Navit wiki].<br />
<br />
== Release Notes ==<br />
<br />
The release notes can be found at [[Application:NavitReleaseNotes]].<br />
<br />
== Where do you get the latest version of Navit for WebOS 1.4.5 and above ? ==<br />
<br />
WEBOS 2.1.0 appears to be working OK on a O2 GSM Pre (minus) with the most recent build of 0.5.0 4238M (at 27 Feb 2011).<br />
<br />
'''ATTENTION WEBOS 2.0 and 2.01 ===> Palm confirmed that we are hitting a permission bug in the PDK Forums webOS &bull; View topic - Using PDL_ServiceCallWithCallback for location service: fail.It should be fixed in the next update of webOS.'''<br />
<br />
There is a bug in the OTA (over the air) update from 1.4.1 to 1.4.5 that prevents Navit from working. To check for the bug open a Terminal or Novaterm and issue this command 'cat /etc/fstab|grep internal'. You should get the following line:<br />
<br />
/dev/mapper/store-media /media/internal vfat utf8,shortname=mixed,umask=0000 0 0<br />
<br />
If the response from your device does not have the 'umask=0000' statement then you need to fix this first as explained here => http://developer.palm.com/distribution/viewtopic.php?p=34750<br />
Thanks to Rod there is now an app in The Preware Testing feed that can do the fix for you => http://forums.precentral.net/showthread.php?p=2556103<br />
<br />
Eine Deutsche Anleitung zum beheben des Problemes ist hier zu finden => http://www.nexave.de/forum/39654-fehler-im-ota-1-4-5-update.html<br />
<br />
# Open Preware. Select available applications. Then type 'Navit' and install as any other WebOS application.<br />
# This will automatically install two other needed packages if you not have installed them. The packages are 'speechd' and 'locale'.<br />
# You settings are migrated if you had installed the Navit Alpha before. Then you can skip step 4-8 the rest.<br />
# Now start Navit. You will see the OSD but no map as this will be installed in the next step. This first start will create the default settings and the empty folder for the map.<br />
# Quit Navit and connect your Pre to your PC in USB mode.<br />
# You also need a map. '''There was a recent problem with the Navit planet extractor - this should now be fixed as of 19:22, 18 October 2010 (UTC).'''<br />

# Put the *.bin file into the folder appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps on the USB drive of your Pre.<br />
# To switch between the three skins you need to open the navit.xml in appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/ . At the bottom you find the section where the skin is included. Remove the comment markers from the skin you plan to use and add them to the current skin.<br />
# Try it out!<br />
# Multiple maps. Using *.bin will not actually grab multiple map files but actually grab just the FIRST map file in the directory. Note that *.bin still does have it's use... If you are using just a single map file in a single directory then whenever you download an updated map file you can place it into the directory and not have to worry about modifying the navit.xml file with the new map name. Just remember to delete your old map file from the directory. To specify multiple map files you will have to add multiple lines to the navit.xml file with the file name for each map, switch between them via the settings/maps onscreen menu. Extra maps may be for your holiday trips to Hawaii allowing you to set up bookmarks in advance without GPS using the instructions here http://www.webos-internals.org/wiki/Application:Navit#On_how_to_plan_a_route. Having the Garmin BaseMap in your mapset allows you to see the whole world when you zoom out.<br />
To do this you need to add the mapset this way:<br />
<mapset enabled="yes"><br />
<map type="binfile" enabled="yes" active="yes" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/osm/Australia.navit.bin"/><br />
<map type="binfile" enabled="yes" active="no" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/osm/Hawaii.navit.bin"/><br />
<map type="garmin" enabled="yes" active="no" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/garmin/gmapbmap.img"/><br />
</mapset><br />
# Look at appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/navit.log on you USB drive if Navit is not working as expected. If Navit has problems it writes the information into this log file.<br />
<br />
If you have any questions about this version then you can find help here => http://forums.precentral.net/webos-internals/254622-navit-3d-car-navigation-system.html<br />
<br />
== Using Map&Guide maps ==<br />
<br />
For all Europe uses. You can get a good Mapset from Amazon for 5 Euro => [http://www.amazon.de/Marco-Polo-Gro%C3%9Fer-Reiseplaner-DVD-ROM/dp/3829731426/ Marco Polo Großer Reiseplaner 2007/2008 (DVD-ROM) auf Amazon.de]<br />
<br />
The disadvantage is that the complete map is 3GB, if you only take Germany and the Major routes of Europe it is still 1GB.<br />
<br />
'''For Linux'''<br />
# Change directory to where DVD is mounted<br />
# Unpack data2.cab with: unshield x travel/data2.cab <br />
# Now, you should get a directory named like DIRLAN_GER.<br />
# Inside you find the maps...<br />
'''For Windows'''<br />
# Install the application<br />
# you find the maps in a folder inside the program folder.<br />
<br />
'''Installing the maps'''<br />
# The dem.map folder with all the majors roads and towns of Europe...<br />
# ...and five smpX.smp folders, which contain the details of countries:<br />
* smp1: DK,S,N,IS,FIN,N<br />
* smp2: F,E,GBZ,P,AND,MC<br />
* smp3: Germany<br />
* smp4: CZ,SK,RSM,EST,GEO,LV,LT,MD,RUS,UA,BY,GR,H,I,RO,CH,A,PL,AL,MT,CY,BG,FL,SRB,MNE,HR,SLO,BIH,MK,TR,AZ,AM,V<br />
* smp5: NL,B,GB,L,IRL <br />
# copy the dem.map folder into a place on your hard drive<br />
# remove all *d60* files from the dem.map folder<br />
# copy the dem.map folder into /MaypsNavit on you usb drive<br />
# copy the smpX.smp folder you need into /MaypsNavit/dem.map folder<br />
# open appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/navit.xml and change the following:<br />
<mapset enabled="yes"><br />
<map type="binfile" enabled="yes" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/*.bin"/><br />
</mapset><br />
to <br />
<mapset enabled="yes"><br />
<map type="binfile" enabled="yes" active="yes" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/osm/*.bin"/><br />
<map type="mg" enabled="yes" active="no" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/dem.map" /><br />
<map type="mg" enabled="yes" active="no" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/dem.map/smp3.smp" /><br />
</mapset><br />
<br />
Now you can switch between the OSM and the M&G maps from the settings/maps menu inside of Navit. The OSM map is the default. To make M&G the default you need to invert the active switches.<br />
<br />
I would expect the the Map&Guide maps for other countries will also work. But you need to find a cheep Product that contains them.<br />
<br />
If you have the m&g and the OSM maps on your USB drive then you can use the index from the m&g maps for searching and the OSM maps for routing and display. To do this you need to add the mapset this way:<br />
<mapset enabled="yes"><br />
<map type="mg" enabled="yes" active="no" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/dem.map/smp3.smp" /><br />
<map type="mg" enabled="yes" active="no" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/dem.map" /><br />
<map type="binfile" enabled="yes" active="yes" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/osm/*.bin"/><br />
</mapset><br />
It looks like Navit uses the street index of the first enabled map even if it is not active.<br />
<br />
== Changing the display of POI (Points of interest) symbols ==<br />
<br />
you can switch every POI symbol off and on, but there is no Menu function to do it. Connect your Pre in USB Mode and open "appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/navit_layout.xml".<br />
<br />
'''Make a backup of the file before you start and be careful. Navit will not start if you mess up the file !!!'''<br />
<br />
This file defines the different layouts that you can select (Car, Car-dark, bike and T@M). Every layout starts with a line like this:<br />
<br />
<layout name="Car" nightlayout="Car-dark" color="#ffefb7" font="Prelude"><br />
.<br />
.<br />
.<br />
</layout><br />
<br />
If you scroll down in the layout you will find the POI definitions. It starts with the line:<br />
<br />
<layer name="POI Symbols"><br />
<br />
For every defined POI symbole you find the following three lines:<br />
<br />
<itemgra item_types="poi_hotel" order="12-"><br />
<icon src="hotel.png"/><br />
</itemgra><br />
<br />
to switch the POI of simply remove the three lines or change them to<br />
<pre><br />
<!-- <itemgra item_types="poi_hotel" order="12-"><br />
<icon src="hotel.png"/><br />
</itemgra> <br />
--><br />
</pre><br />
Then you can switch them on later if you like.<br />
<br />
Navit loads the first layout that is defined in this file on startup. If you like to have a other layout you will need to move it to the beginning of the file. You can find more documentation in the navit_layout.xml file. The current version can be found in the git repository => http://git.webos-internals.org/?p=preware/cross-compile.git;a=blob;f=packages/apps/navit/files/navit_layout.xml<br />

== Understanding ISSUES with OpenStreet Maps ==<br />
<br />
There is a list of issues that first time users keep asking about. These are not WEBOS issues but due to how NAVIT operates with OpenStreet maps. Look at <br />
http://wiki.navit-project.org/index.php/OpenStreetMaps#Problems_with_OSM_and_navit_or_navigation_in_general<br />
Look at the section below called "On how to plan a route" for advice.<br />
<br />
== Why don't I get the new skins we see below? ==<br />
Installation of Navit only copies in the new XML files '''''if the Navit.xml is not there'''''. You need to delete the old ones to get the new. '''''Preware does NOT REMOVE THEM!'''''<br />
<br />
<br />
You find the xml files on the USB drive J: (or another drive X: when your Pre is in USB mode (not charge only mode) depending upon your PC setup.<br />
<br />
Located here J:/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/<br />
<br />
To switch between the three skins shown below you need to open the navit.xml in appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/ . At the bottom you find the section where the skin is included.<br />
Remove the comment markers from the skin you plan to use and add them to the current skin. For example to use < !-- <xi:include href="$NAVIT_USER_DATADIR/navit_gui.xml"/> -- > remove the < !-- and the -- > and ADD the same in front and back of the existing skin, for example <xi:include href="$NAVIT_USER_DATADIR/navit_gui_PreNav.xml"/>. There is NO SPACE between the < and -- and similarly between -- and > in the code. The space appears in this wiki text due to formatting issues.<br />
<br />
== Only as a start. Some images of the current skins: ==<br />
<br />
<br />
Skin PreNav:<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
== How to get around the menus v3 (still not complete)''' ==<br />
<br />
''As an aside the screen captures don't work on full screen - sorry.''<br />
<br />
Main screen is seen here before GPS lock <br />
<br />
[[Image:Start_screen.png]] (here the last saved GPS position is used to choose the starting map).<br />
<br />
Press your finger on the screen and "push" the map around to get the desired location (where you are now or where you want to go) right into the centre of the screen (if you want to zoom into a location use the + button). Tap the screen and you will get the Main Menu shown here.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Main_menu.png]]<br />
Since we want to go somewhere tap on Actions.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Actions_menu.png]]<br />
Now you have a choice of the Location at the center of the map screen, the location of the car (no good here as GPS has not locked in), the Location of a saved Bookmark, or searching for a Location in your OSM or other map you have already loaded into your Pre at /media/NavitMaps/. Choosing Town we get this screen.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Town_view.png]]<br />
Now unless you live in the USA you can now enter a town. If not tap on the US flag and you should get this screen.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Town_view2.png]]<br />
Now Type in your country eg Au will give at least two countries to choose from. Select one and you will then get to enter a town, the street and then house. Lots of times this does not work too well as the House numbering is not available. In this case follow instructions below on How to Plan a Route. <br />
Here are some FAQ about searching http://wiki.navit-project.org/index.php/OpenStreetMaps#Search_for_my_town_works.2C_but_I_can.27t_find_my_street<br />
<br />
OK I have told NAVIT that I wish to go to my new destination and now its ready to go. <br />
<br />
<br />
[[Image:Navit_OK_to_drive.png]] <br />
<br />
<br />
It shows the way to go as a BIG FAT BLUE line as well as speaking the directions. If you want to read the directions Choose Route then Description. The voice reads these out as you go along the route. Now Rod Whitby can guess where I live.<br />
<br />
[[Now you want to change from a CAR to a Pedestrian, Horse or BIKE!]]<br />
<br />
Choose the Main Menu, then choose Settings and you will see this<br />
<br />
[[Image:Settings_menu.png]]<br />
Now choose Vehicle and you will see this<br />
<br />
[[Image:Vehicle_screen.png]]<br />
Now select GPS and you will see your last choice which is shown here as a car.<br />
<br />
[[Image:GPS_screen_car.png]]<br />
Press once on the row Change profile to: pedestrian (for example)<br />
Then at the top of the screen press on VEHICLE. This will get you back to the GPS screen. Now if you select GPS again you will get this screen confirming you are now a pedestrian.<br />
<br />
[[Image:GPS_screen_ped.png]]<br />
Enjoy :-)<br />
<br />
[[Changing Map view (or getting rid of all the POIs)]]<br />
<br />
If you want very few POIs the simplest option is MainMenu>>Settings>>Display>>Layout>>T@H<br />
<br />
[[Image:choose T@H.png]] [[Image:T@H view.png]] <br />
Go back to map and you will see hardly any POIs. <br />
<br />
Helpful notes from vreihen on 18 and 26 May 2010 now follow,<br />
<br />
== On starting up issues ie '''why the map layer isn't loading?''' ==<br />
<br />
<br />
When Navit first starts up, it uses the north pole as it's initial position (if I recall correctly) until it gets an initial GPS fix. Your map layer problem may be that the GPS point is still at the north pole, or perhaps outside of the map that you have installed. If you tap on the center of the screen and tap on actions, there will be an icon of a car and an icon of a globe. The car icon is your current position, and should contain a non-zero latitude and longitude if your GPS is working and has a fix. Verify that those coordinates are where you are located before you dig any deeper into the maps as the cause of the missing layer.<br />
<br />
The information panels at the bottom of the screen are only populated when Navit is navigating between two points. Otherwise, they should be blank.<br />
<br />
If all else fails with the maps, you could download the entire planet.bin if you have 3.5 gigs of free USB flash space in your phone to eliminate the map file as the cause of your problem.....<br />
<br />
== '''On how to plan a route''' ==<br />
<br />
'''OPTION 1 with GPS'''<br />
<br />
1) Scroll through the map until you can see the location that you want to drive to.<br />
<br />
2) Zoom in tight on the screen, if necessary. Tap on your destination on the map.<br />
<br />
3) When Navit opens it's main menu, tap on actions.<br />
<br />
4) The car icon should show your current latitude/longitude. <br />
<br />
5) The globe icon should show the destination latitude/longitude that you tapped on the map.<br />
<br />
6) Tap on the globe icon.<br />
<br />
7) From the menu that pops up, select either bookmark this location (recommended) or navigate to this location.<br />
<br />
8) If you chose to bookmark it, tap actions | bookmarks, then tap your bookmark. Select navigate to this location.<br />
<br />
9) Depending on the distance you asked it to go, Navit should pop up the first driving direction and speak it to you within 5-10 seconds.<br />
<br />
The OSM map data apparently does not contain the concept of a state, so navigating by state/city/street lookup is difficult to impossible. Navigating by bookmark on the map is the only option for the time being.....<br />
<br />
<br />
'''OPTION 2 No GPS needed'''<br />
<br />
The map you see is centred on your last GPS/chosen location. Now you wish to plan a route at another location '''NOT''' on your current map so GPS is not going to work. You will not get a map on the screen for this location until the end of this setup.<br />
<br />
1) Remove all maps except the one that includes the locations you plan to use later. (if you fully understand how maps work in NAVIT this step is not necessary of course but for first timers it makes things simple to diagnose if you have troubles doing these steps.)<br />
<br />
2) Open bookmarks.txt ===== To do the edit go to USB mode, open R:\appdata\org.webosinternals.navit\bookmark.txt with any text editor you like (replace R: with your Drive Letter)<br />
<br />
3) add a new line<br />
<br />
mg: longitude latitude type=bookmark label="Location 1"<br />
<br />
Format is longitude and latitude, both in DD.ddd coordinates. For example Honolulu Stadium is -157.829 21.295, note the need for "-" for W longitude and "-" for S latitude. DD.ddd can have more d's added.<br />
<br />
4) save bookmarks.txt<br />
<br />
5) Start navit and navigate via bookmarks to "Location 1"<br />
<br />
6) If you want to go from place to place just add more bookmarks, suggest arrange them inside a new folder called "My Trip". <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
''' Changing The Starting position'''<br />
<br />
You might want to change the starting position of navit, especially if you are using Navit without a GPS. You can get your coordinates here: http://itouchmap.com/latlong.html<br />
<br />
You can change the starting position in navit.xml, here :<br />
<br />
<navit gui="..." graphics="..." center="4808 N 1134 E" zoom="128" ><br />
<br />
The latitude and longitude are written as multiplied by 100, i.e. you won't see the decimal point. For example, instead of 48.08, enter 4808.<br />
<br />
== So you want Miles not km? ==<br />

== Summary ==<br />
<br />
[[Image:Navit_icon.png|50px|left]]<br />
Navit is an open source (GPL) car navigation software for Linux systems. It will display your position on a map (in bird-view mode or as a 3D "visualization") from GPS sensor data, and can provide precise route calculation, touch screen functionality and supports Points of Interest (POI), which can be extended via an easy to use plugin system. Unlike other navigation systems, Navit maps are dynamically generated in real time from vector data. Information about Navit can be found [http://wiki.navit-project.org/index.php/Main_Page on the Navit wiki].<br />
<br />
== Where do you get the latest version of Navit for WebOS 1.4.5 and above ? ==<br />
<br />
'''ATTENTION WEBOS 2.0 and 2.01 ===> Palm confirmed that we are hitting a permission bug in the PDK Forums webOS &bull; View topic - Using PDL_ServiceCallWithCallback for location service: fail.It should be fixed in the next update of webOS.'''<br />
<br />
There is a bug in the OTA (over the air) update from 1.4.1 to 1.4.5 that prevents Navit from working. To check for the bug open a Terminal or Novaterm and issue this command 'cat /etc/fstab|grep internal'. You should get the following line:<br />
<br />
/dev/mapper/store-media /media/internal vfat utf8,shortname=mixed,umask=0000 0 0<br />
<br />
If your line do not have the 'umask=0000' statement then you need to fix this first as explained here => http://developer.palm.com/distribution/viewtopic.php?p=34750<br />
Thanks to Rod there is now an app in The Preware Testing feed that can do the fix for you => http://forums.precentral.net/showthread.php?p=2556103<br />
<br />
Eine Deutsche Anleitung zum beheben des Problemes ist hier zu finden => http://www.nexave.de/forum/39654-fehler-im-ota-1-4-5-update.html<br />
<br />
# Open Preware. Select available applications. Then type 'Navit' and install as any other WebOS application.<br />
# This will automatically install two other needed packages if you not have installed them. The packages are 'speechd' and 'locale'.<br />
# You settings are migrated if you had installed the Navit Alpha before. Then you can skip step 4-8 the rest.<br />
# Now start Navit. You will see the OSD but no map as this will be installed in the next step. This first start will create the default settings and the empty folder for the map.<br />
# Quit Navit and connect your Pre to your PC in USB mode.<br />
# You also need a map. '''There was a recent problem with the Navit planet extractor - this should now be fixed as of 19:22, 18 October 2010 (UTC).'''<br />

# Put the *.bin file into the folder appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps on the USB drive of your Pre.<br />
# To switch between the three skins you need to open the navit.xml in appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/ . At the bottom you find the section where the skin is included. Remove the comment markers from the skin you plan to use and add them to the current skin.<br />
# Try it out!<br />
# Multiple maps. Using *.bin will not actually grab multiple map files but actually grab just the FIRST map file in the directory. Note that *.bin still does have it's use... If you are using just a single map file in a single directory then whenever you downoad an updated map file you can place it into the directory and not have to worry about modifying the navit.xml file with the new map name. Just remember to delete your old map file from the directory. To specify multiple map files you will have to add multiple lines to the navit.xml file with the file name for each map, switch between them via the settings/maps onscreen menu. Extra maps may be for your holiday trips to Hawaii allowing you to set up bookmarks in advance without GPS using the instructions here http://www.webos-internals.org/wiki/Application:Navit#On_how_to_plan_a_route. Having the Garmin BaseMap in your mapset allows you to see the whole world when you zoom out.<br />
To do this you need to add the mapset this way:<br />
<mapset enabled="yes"><br />
<map type="binfile" enabled="yes" active="yes" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/osm/Australia.navit.bin"/><br />
<map type="binfile" enabled="yes" active="no" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/osm/Hawaii.navit.bin"/><br />
<map type="garmin" enabled="yes" active="no" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/garmin/gmapbmap.img"/><br />
</mapset><br />
# Look at appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/navit.log on you USB drive if Navit is not working as expected. If Navit has problems it writes the information into this log file.<br />
<br />
If you have any questions about this version then you can find help here => http://forums.precentral.net/webos-internals/254622-navit-3d-car-navigation-system.html<br />
<br />
== Using Map&Guide maps ==<br />
<br />
For all Europe uses. You can get a good Mapset from Amazon for 5 Euro => [http://www.amazon.de/Marco-Polo-Gro%C3%9Fer-Reiseplaner-DVD-ROM/dp/3829731426/ Marco Polo Großer Reiseplaner 2007/2008 (DVD-ROM) auf Amazon.de]<br />
<br />
The disadvantage is that the complete map is 3GB, if you only take Germany and the Major roots of Europe it is still 1GB.<br />
<br />
'''For Linux'''<br />
# Change directory to where DVD is mounted<br />
# Unpack data2.cab with: unshield x travel/data2.cab <br />
# Now, you should get a directory named like DIRLAN_GER.<br />
# Inside you find the maps...<br />
'''For Windows'''<br />
# Install the appliaction<br />
# you find the maps in a folder inside the program folder.<br />
<br />
'''Installing the maps'''<br />
# The dem.map folder with all the majors roads and towns of Europe...<br />
# ...and five smpX.smp folders, which contain the details of countries:<br />
* smp1: DK,S,N,IS,FIN,N<br />
* smp2: F,E,GBZ,P,AND,MC<br />
* smp3: Germany<br />
* smp4: CZ,SK,RSM,EST,GEO,LV,LT,MD,RUS,UA,BY,GR,H,I,RO,CH,A,PL,AL,MT,CY,BG,FL,SRB,MNE,HR,SLO,BIH,MK,TR,AZ,AM,V<br />
* smp5: NL,B,GB,L,IRL <br />
# copy the dem.map folder into a place on your hard drive<br />
# remove all *d60* files from the dem.map folder<br />
# copy the dem.map folder into /MaypsNavit on you usb drive<br />
# copy the smpX.smp folder you need into /MaypsNavit/dem.map folder<br />
# open appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/navit.xml and change the following:<br />
<mapset enabled="yes"><br />
<map type="binfile" enabled="yes" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/*.bin"/><br />
</mapset><br />
to <br />
<mapset enabled="yes"><br />
<map type="binfile" enabled="yes" active="yes" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/osm/*.bin"/><br />
<map type="mg" enabled="yes" active="no" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/dem.map" /><br />
<map type="mg" enabled="yes" active="no" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/dem.map/smp3.smp" /><br />
</mapset><br />
<br />
Now you can switch between the OSM and the M&G maps from the settings/maps menu inside of Navit. The OSM map is the default. To make M&G the default you need to invert the active switches.<br />
<br />
I would expect the the Map&Guide maps for other countries will also work. But you need to find a cheep Product that contains them.<br />
<br />
If you have the m&g and the OSM maps on your USB drive then you can use the index from the m&g maps for searching and the OSM maps for routing and display. To do this you need to add the mapset this way:<br />
<mapset enabled="yes"><br />
<map type="mg" enabled="yes" active="no" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/dem.map/smp3.smp" /><br />
<map type="mg" enabled="yes" active="no" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/dem.map" /><br />
<map type="binfile" enabled="yes" active="yes" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/osm/*.bin"/><br />
</mapset><br />
It looks like Navit uses the street index of the first enabled map even if it is not active.<br />
<br />
== Changing the display of POI (Points of interest) symbols ==<br />
<br />
you can switch every POI symbol off and on, but there is no Menu function to do it. Connect your Pre in USB Mode and open "appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/navit_layout.xml".<br />
<br />
'''Make a backup of the file before you start and be careful. Navit will not start if you mess up the file !!!'''<br />
<br />
This file defines the different layouts that you can select (Car, Car-dark, bike and T@M). Every layout starts with a line like this:<br />
<br />
<layout name="Car" nightlayout="Car-dark" color="#ffefb7" font="Prelude"><br />
.<br />
.<br />
.<br />
</layout><br />
<br />
If you scroll down in the layout you will find the POI definitions. It starts with the line:<br />
<br />
<layer name="POI Symbols"><br />
<br />
For every defined POI symbole you find the following three lines:<br />
<br />
<itemgra item_types="poi_hotel" order="12-"><br />
<icon src="hotel.png"/><br />
</itemgra><br />
<br />
to switch the POI of simply remove the three lines or change them to<br />
<pre><br />
<!-- <itemgra item_types="poi_hotel" order="12-"><br />
<icon src="hotel.png"/><br />
</itemgra> <br />
--><br />
</pre><br />
Then you can switch them on later if you like.<br />
<br />
Navit loads the first layout that is defined in this file on startup. If you like to have a other layout you will need to move it to the beginning of the file. You can find more documentation in the navit_layout.xml file. The current version can be found in the git repository => http://git.webos-internals.org/?p=preware/cross-compile.git;a=blob;f=packages/apps/navit/files/navit_layout.xml<br />
<br />
<br />
== Understanding ISSUES with OpenStreet Maps ==<br />
<br />
There is a list of issues that first time users keep asking about. These are not WEBOS issues but due to how NAVIT operates with OpenStreet maps. Look at <br />
http://wiki.navit-project.org/index.php/OpenStreetMaps#Problems_with_OSM_and_navit_or_navigation_in_general<br />
Look at the section below called "On how to plan a route" for advice.<br />
<br />
== Why don't I get the new skins we see below? ==<br />
Installation of Navit only copies in the new XML files '''''if the Navit.xml is not there'''''. You need to delete the old ones to get the new. '''''Preware does NOT REMOVE THEM!'''''<br />
<br />
<br />
You find the xml files on the USB drive J: (or another drive X: when your Pre is in USB mode (not charge only mode) depending upon your PC setup.<br />
<br />
Located here J:/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/<br />
<br />
To switch between the three skins shown below you need to open the navit.xml in appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/ . At the bottom you find the section where the skin is included.<br />
Remove the comment markers from the skin you plan to use and add them to the current skin. For example to use < !-- <xi:include href="$NAVIT_USER_DATADIR/navit_gui.xml"/> -- > remove the < !-- and the -- > and ADD the same in front and back of the existing skin, for example <xi:include href="$NAVIT_USER_DATADIR/navit_gui_PreNav.xml"/>. There is NO SPACE between the < and -- and similarly between -- and > in the code. The space appears in this wiki text due to formatting issues.<br />
<br />
== Only as a start. Some images of the current skins: ==<br />

== How to get around the menus v3 (still not complete)''' ==<br />
<br />
''As an aside the screen captures don't work on full screen - sorry.''<br />
<br />
Main screen is seen here before GPS lock <br />
<br />
[[Image:Start_screen.png]] (here the last saved GPS position is used to choose the starting map).<br />
<br />
Press your finger on the screen and "push" the map around to get the desired location (where you are now or where you want to go) right into the centre of the screen (if you want to zoom into a location use the + button). Tap the screen and you will get the Main Menu shown here.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Main_menu.png]]<br />
Since we want to go somewhere tap on Actions.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Actions_menu.png]]<br />
Now you have a choice of the Location at the center of the map screen, the location of the car (no good here as GPS has not locked in), the Location of a saved Bookmark, or searching for a Location in your OSM or other map you have already loaded into your Pre at /media/NavitMaps/. Choosing Town we get this screen.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Town_view.png]]<br />
Now unless you live in the USA you can now enter a town. If not tap on the US flag and you should get this screen.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Town_view2.png]]<br />
Now Type in your country eg Au will give at least two countries to choose from. Select one and you will then get to enter a town, the street and then house. Lots of times this does not work too well as the House numbering is not available. In this case follow instructions below on How to Plan a Route. <br />
Here are some FAQ about searching http://wiki.navit-project.org/index.php/OpenStreetMaps#Search_for_my_town_works.2C_but_I_can.27t_find_my_street<br />
<br />
OK I have told NAVIT that I wish to go to my new destination and now its ready to go. <br />
<br />
<br />
[[Image:Navit_OK_to_drive.png]] <br />
<br />
<br />
It shows the way to go as a BIG FAT BLUE line as well as speaking the directions. If you want to read the directions Chooose Route then Description. The voice reads these out as you go along the route. Now Rod Whitby can guess where I live.<br />
<br />
[[Now you want to change from a CAR to a Pedestrian, Horse or BIKE!]]<br />
<br />
Choose the Main Menu, then choose Settings and you will see this<br />
<br />
[[Image:Settings_menu.png]]<br />
Now choose Vehicle and you will see this<br />
<br />
[[Image:Vehicle_screen.png]]<br />
Now select GPS and you will see your last choice which is shown here as a car.<br />
<br />
[[Image:GPS_screen_car.png]]<br />
Press once on the row Change profile to: pedestrian (for example)<br />
Then at the top of the screen press on VEHICLE. This will get you back to the GPS screen. Now if you select GPS again you will get this screen confirming you are now a pedestrian.<br />
<br />
[[Image:GPS_screen_ped.png]]<br />
Enjoy :-)<br />
<br />
[[Changing Map view (or getting rid of all the POIs)]]<br />
<br />
If you want very few POIs the simplest option is MainMenu>>Settings>>Display>>Layout>>T@H<br />
<br />
[[Image:choose T@H.png]] [[Image:T@H view.png]] <br />
Go back to map and you will see hardly any POIs. <br />
<br />
Helpful notes from vreihen on 18 and 26 May 2010 now follow,<br />
<br />
== On starting up issues ie '''why the map layer isn't loading?''' ==<br />
<br />
<br />
When Navit first starts up, it uses the north pole as it's initial position (if I recall correctly) until it gets an initial GPS fix. Your map layer problem may be that the GPS point is still at the north pole, or perhaps outside of the map that you have installed. If you tap on the center of the screen and tap on actions, there will be an icon of a car and an icon of a globe. The car icon is your current position, and should contain a non-zero latitude and longitude if your GPS is working and has a fix. Verify that those coordinates are where you are located before you dig any deeper into the maps as the cause of the missing layer.<br />
<br />
The information panels at the bottom of the screen are only populated when Navit is navigating between two points. Otherwise, they should be blank.<br />
<br />
If all else fails with the maps, you could download the entire planet.bin if you have 3.5 gigs of free USB flash space in your phone to eliminate the map file as the cause of your problem.....<br />
<br />
== '''On how to plan a route''' ==<br />
<br />
'''OPTION 1 with GPS'''<br />
<br />
1) Scroll through the map until you can see the location that you want to drive to.<br />
<br />
2) Zoom in tight on the screen, if necessary. Tap on your destination on the map.<br />
<br />
3) When Navit opens it's main menu, tap on actions.<br />
<br />
4) The car icon should show your current latitude/longitude. <br />
<br />
5) The globe icon should show the destination latitude/longitude that you tapped on the map.<br />
<br />
6) Tap on the globe icon.<br />
<br />
7) From the menu that pops up, select either bookmark this location (recommended) or navigate to this location.<br />
<br />
8) If you chose to bookmark it, tap actions | bookmarks, then tap your bookmark. Select navigate to this location.<br />
<br />
9) Depending on the distance you asked it to go, Navit should pop up the first driving direction and speak it to you within 5-10 seconds.<br />
<br />
The OSM map data apparently does not contain the concept of a state, so navigating by state/city/street lookup is difficult to impossible. Navigating by bookmark on the map is the only option for the time being.....<br />
<br />
<br />
'''OPTION 2 No GPS needed'''<br />
<br />
The map you see is centred on your last GPS/chosen location. Now you wish to plan a route at another location '''NOT''' on your current map so GPS is not going to work. You will not get a map on the screen for this location until the end of this setup.<br />
<br />
1) Remove all maps except the one that includes the locations you plan to use later. (if you fully understand how maps work in NAVIT this step is not necessary of course but for first timers it makes things simple to diagnose if you have troubles doing these steps.)<br />
<br />
2) Open bookmarks.txt ===== To do the edit go to USB mode, open R:\appdata\org.webosinternals.navit\bookmark.txt with any text editor you like (replace R: with your Drive Letter)<br />
<br />
3) add a new line<br />
<br />
mg: longitude latitude type=bookmark label="Location 1"<br />
<br />
Format is longitude and latitude, both in DD.ddd coordinates. For example Honolulu Stadium is -157.829 21.295, note the need for "-" for W longitude and "-" for S latitude. DD.ddd can have more d's added.<br />
<br />
4) save bookmarks.txt<br />
<br />
5) Start navit and navigate via bookmarks to "Location 1"<br />
<br />
6) If you want to go from place to place just add more bookmarks, suggest arrange them inside a new folder called "My Trip". <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
''' Changing The Starting position'''<br />
<br />
You might want to change the starting position of navit, especially if you are using Navit without a GPS. You can get your coordinates here: http://itouchmap.com/latlong.html<br />
<br />
You can change the starting position in navit.xml, here :<br />
<br />
<navit gui="..." graphics="..." center="4808 N 1134 E" zoom="128" ><br />
<br />
The latitude and longitude are written as multiplied by 100, i.e. you won't see the decimal point. For example, instead of 48.08, enter 4808.<br />
<br />

== Summary ==<br />
<br />
[[Image:Navit_icon.png|50px|left]]<br />
Navit is an open source (GPL) car navigation software for Linux systems. It will display your position on a map (in bird-view mode or as a 3D "visualization") from GPS sensor data, and can provide precise route calculation, touch screen functionality and supports Points of Interest (POI), which can be extended via an easy to use plugin system. Unlike other navigation systems, Navit maps are dynamically generated in real time from vector data. Information about Navit can be found [http://wiki.navit-project.org/index.php/Main_Page on the Navit wiki].<br />
<br />
== Where do you get the latest version of Navit for WebOS 1.4.5 and above ? ==<br />
<br />
There is a bug in the OTA (over the air) update from 1.4.1 to 1.4.5 that prevents Navit from working. To check for the bug open a Terminal or Novaterm and issue this command 'cat /etc/fstab|grep internal'. You should get the following line:<br />
<br />
/dev/mapper/store-media /media/internal vfat utf8,shortname=mixed,umask=0000 0 0<br />
<br />
If your line do not have the 'umask=0000' statement then you need to fix this first as explained here => http://developer.palm.com/distribution/viewtopic.php?p=34750<br />
Thanks to Rod there is now an app in The Preware Testing feed that can do the fix for you => http://forums.precentral.net/showthread.php?p=2556103<br />
<br />
Eine Deutsche Anleitung zum beheben des Problemes ist hier zu finden => http://www.nexave.de/forum/39654-fehler-im-ota-1-4-5-update.html<br />
<br />
# Open Preware. Select available applications. Then type 'Navit' and install as any other WebOS application.<br />
# This will automatically install two other needed packages if you not have installed them. The packages are 'speechd' and 'locale'.<br />
# You settings are migrated if you had installed the Navit Alpha before. Then you can skip step 4-8 the rest.<br />
# Now start Navit. You will see the OSD but no map as this will be installed in the next step. This first start will create the default settings and the empty folder for the map.<br />
# Quit Navit and connect your Pre to your PC in USB mode.<br />
# You also need a map. '''There was a recent problem with the Navit planet extractor - this should now be fixed as of 19:22, 18 October 2010 (UTC).'''<br />

# Put the *.bin file into the folder appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps on the USB drive of your Pre.<br />
# To switch between the three skins you need to open the navit.xml in appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/ . At the bottom you find the section where the skin is included. Remove the comment markers from the skin you plan to use and add them to the current skin.<br />
# Try it out!<br />
# Multiple maps. Using *.bin will not actually grab multiple map files but actually grab just the FIRST map file in the directory. Note that *.bin still does have it's use... If you are using just a single map file in a single directory then whenever you downoad an updated map file you can place it into the directory and not have to worry about modifying the navit.xml file with the new map name. Just remember to delete your old map file from the directory. To specify multiple map files you will have to add multiple lines to the navit.xml file with the file name for each map, switch between them via the settings/maps onscreen menu. Extra maps may be for your holiday trips to Hawaii allowing you to set up bookmarks in advance without GPS using the instructions here http://www.webos-internals.org/wiki/Application:Navit#On_how_to_plan_a_route. Having the Garmin BaseMap in your mapset allows you to see the whole world when you zoom out.<br />
To do this you need to add the mapset this way:<br />
<mapset enabled="yes"><br />
<map type="binfile" enabled="yes" active="yes" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/osm/Australia.navit.bin"/><br />
<map type="binfile" enabled="yes" active="no" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/osm/Hawaii.navit.bin"/><br />
<map type="garmin" enabled="yes" active="no" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/garmin/gmapbmap.img"/><br />
</mapset><br />
# Look at appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/navit.log on you USB drive if Navit is not working as expected. If Navit has problems it writes the information into this log file.<br />
<br />
If you have any questions about this version then you can find help here => http://forums.precentral.net/webos-internals/254622-navit-3d-car-navigation-system.html<br />
<br />
== Using Map&Guide maps ==<br />
<br />
For all Europe uses. You can get a good Mapset from Amazon for 5 Euro => [http://www.amazon.de/Marco-Polo-Gro%C3%9Fer-Reiseplaner-DVD-ROM/dp/3829731426/ Marco Polo Großer Reiseplaner 2007/2008 (DVD-ROM) auf Amazon.de]<br />
<br />
The disadvantage is that the complete map is 3GB, if you only take Germany and the Major roots of Europe it is still 1GB.<br />
<br />
'''For Linux'''<br />
# Change directory to where DVD is mounted<br />
# Unpack data2.cab with: unshield x travel/data2.cab <br />
# Now, you should get a directory named like DIRLAN_GER.<br />
# Inside you find the maps...<br />
'''For Windows'''<br />
# Install the appliaction<br />
# you find the maps in a folder inside the program folder.<br />
<br />
'''Installing the maps'''<br />
# The dem.map folder with all the majors roads and towns of Europe...<br />
# ...and five smpX.smp folders, which contain the details of countries:<br />
* smp1: DK,S,N,IS,FIN,N<br />
* smp2: F,E,GBZ,P,AND,MC<br />
* smp3: Germany<br />
* smp4: CZ,SK,RSM,EST,GEO,LV,LT,MD,RUS,UA,BY,GR,H,I,RO,CH,A,PL,AL,MT,CY,BG,FL,SRB,MNE,HR,SLO,BIH,MK,TR,AZ,AM,V<br />
* smp5: NL,B,GB,L,IRL <br />
# copy the dem.map folder into a place on your hard drive<br />
# remove all *d60* files from the dem.map folder<br />
# copy the dem.map folder into /MaypsNavit on you usb drive<br />
# copy the smpX.smp folder you need into /MaypsNavit/dem.map folder<br />
# open appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/navit.xml and change the following:<br />
<mapset enabled="yes"><br />
<map type="binfile" enabled="yes" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/*.bin"/><br />
</mapset><br />
to <br />
<mapset enabled="yes"><br />
<map type="binfile" enabled="yes" active="yes" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/osm/*.bin"/><br />
<map type="mg" enabled="yes" active="no" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/dem.map" /><br />
<map type="mg" enabled="yes" active="no" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/dem.map/smp3.smp" /><br />
</mapset><br />
<br />
Now you can switch between the OSM and the M&G maps from the settings/maps menu inside of Navit. The OSM map is the default. To make M&G the default you need to invert the active switches.<br />
<br />
I would expect the the Map&Guide maps for other countries will also work. But you need to find a cheep Product that contains them.<br />
<br />
If you have the m&g and the OSM maps on your USB drive then you can use the index from the m&g maps for searching and the OSM maps for routing and display. To do this you need to add the mapset this way:<br />
<mapset enabled="yes"><br />
<map type="mg" enabled="yes" active="no" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/dem.map/smp3.smp" /><br />
<map type="mg" enabled="yes" active="no" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/dem.map" /><br />
<map type="binfile" enabled="yes" active="yes" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/osm/*.bin"/><br />
</mapset><br />
It looks like Navit uses the street index of the first enabled map even if it is not active.<br />
<br />
== Changing the display of POI (Points of interest) symbols ==<br />
<br />
you can switch every POI symbol off and on, but there is no Menu function to do it. Connect your Pre in USB Mode and open "appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/navit_layout.xml".<br />
<br />
'''Make a backup of the file before you start and be careful. Navit will not start if you mess up the file !!!'''<br />
<br />
This file defines the different layouts that you can select (Car, Car-dark, bike and T@M). Every layout starts with a line like this:<br />
<br />
<layout name="Car" nightlayout="Car-dark" color="#ffefb7" font="Prelude"><br />
.<br />
.<br />
.<br />
</layout><br />
<br />
If you scroll down in the layout you will find the POI definitions. It starts with the line:<br />
<br />
<layer name="POI Symbols"><br />
<br />
For every defined POI symbole you find the following three lines:<br />
<br />
<itemgra item_types="poi_hotel" order="12-"><br />
<icon src="hotel.png"/><br />
</itemgra><br />
<br />
to switch the POI of simply remove the three lines or change them to<br />
<pre><br />
<!-- <itemgra item_types="poi_hotel" order="12-"><br />
<icon src="hotel.png"/><br />
</itemgra> <br />
--><br />
</pre><br />
Then you can switch them on later if you like.<br />
<br />
Navit loads the first layout that is defined in this file on startup. If you like to have a other layout you will need to move it to the beginning of the file. You can find more documentation in the navit_layout.xml file. The current version can be found in the git repository => http://git.webos-internals.org/?p=preware/cross-compile.git;a=blob;f=packages/apps/navit/files/navit_layout.xml<br />
<br />
<br />
== Understanding ISSUES with OpenStreet Maps ==<br />
<br />
There is a list of issues that first time users keep asking about. These are not WEBOS issues but due to how NAVIT operates with OpenStreet maps. Look at <br />
http://wiki.navit-project.org/index.php/OpenStreetMaps#Problems_with_OSM_and_navit_or_navigation_in_general<br />
Look at the section below called "On how to plan a route" for advice.<br />
<br />
== Why don't I get the new skins we see below? ==<br />
Installation of Navit only copies in the new XML files '''''if the Navit.xml is not there'''''. You need to delete the old ones to get the new. '''''Preware does NOT REMOVE THEM!'''''<br />
<br />
<br />
You find the xml files on the USB drive J: (or another drive X: when your Pre is in USB mode (not charge only mode) depending upon your PC setup.<br />
<br />
Located here J:/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/<br />
<br />
To switch between the three skins shown below you need to open the navit.xml in appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/ . At the bottom you find the section where the skin is included.<br />
Remove the comment markers from the skin you plan to use and add them to the current skin. For example to use < !-- <xi:include href="$NAVIT_USER_DATADIR/navit_gui.xml"/> -- > remove the < !-- and the -- > and ADD the same in front and back of the existing skin, for example <xi:include href="$NAVIT_USER_DATADIR/navit_gui_PreNav.xml"/>. There is NO SPACE between the < and -- and similarly between -- and > in the code. The space appears in this wiki text due to formatting issues.<br />
<br />
== Only as a start. Some images of the current skins: ==<br />

== How to get around the menus v3 (still not complete)''' ==<br />
<br />
''As an aside the screen captures don't work on full screen - sorry.''<br />
<br />
Main screen is seen here before GPS lock <br />
<br />
[[Image:Start_screen.png]] (here the last saved GPS position is used to choose the starting map).<br />
<br />
Press your finger on the screen and "push" the map around to get the desired location (where you are now or where you want to go) right into the centre of the screen (if you want to zoom into a location use the + button). Tap the screen and you will get the Main Menu shown here.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Main_menu.png]]<br />
Since we want to go somewhere tap on Actions.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Actions_menu.png]]<br />
Now you have a choice of the Location at the center of the map screen, the location of the car (no good here as GPS has not locked in), the Location of a saved Bookmark, or searching for a Location in your OSM or other map you have already loaded into your Pre at /media/NavitMaps/. Choosing Town we get this screen.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Town_view.png]]<br />
Now unless you live in the USA you can now enter a town. If not tap on the US flag and you should get this screen.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Town_view2.png]]<br />
Now Type in your country eg Au will give at least two countries to choose from. Select one and you will then get to enter a town, the street and then house. Lots of times this does not work too well as the House numbering is not available. In this case follow instructions below on How to Plan a Route. <br />
Here are some FAQ about searching http://wiki.navit-project.org/index.php/OpenStreetMaps#Search_for_my_town_works.2C_but_I_can.27t_find_my_street<br />
<br />
OK I have told NAVIT that I wish to go to my new destination and now its ready to go. <br />
<br />
<br />
[[Image:Navit_OK_to_drive.png]] <br />
<br />
<br />
It shows the way to go as a BIG FAT BLUE line as well as speaking the directions. If you want to read the directions Chooose Route then Description. The voice reads these out as you go along the route. Now Rod Whitby can guess where I live.<br />
<br />
[[Now you want to change from a CAR to a Pedestrian, Horse or BIKE!]]<br />
<br />
Choose the Main Menu, then choose Settings and you will see this<br />
<br />
[[Image:Settings_menu.png]]<br />
Now choose Vehicle and you will see this<br />
<br />
[[Image:Vehicle_screen.png]]<br />
Now select GPS and you will see your last choice which is shown here as a car.<br />
<br />
[[Image:GPS_screen_car.png]]<br />
Press once on the row Change profile to: pedestrian (for example)<br />
Then at the top of the screen press on VEHICLE. This will get you back to the GPS screen. Now if you select GPS again you will get this screen confirming you are now a pedestrian.<br />
<br />

== On starting up issues ie '''why the map layer isn't loading?''' ==<br />
<br />
<br />
When Navit first starts up, it uses the north pole as it's initial position (if I recall correctly) until it gets an initial GPS fix. Your map layer problem may be that the GPS point is still at the north pole, or perhaps outside of the map that you have installed. If you tap on the center of the screen and tap on actions, there will be an icon of a car and an icon of a globe. The car icon is your current position, and should contain a non-zero latitude and longitude if your GPS is working and has a fix. Verify that those coordinates are where you are located before you dig any deeper into the maps as the cause of the missing layer.<br />
<br />
The information panels at the bottom of the screen are only populated when Navit is navigating between two points. Otherwise, they should be blank.<br />
<br />
If all else fails with the maps, you could download the entire planet.bin if you have 3.5 gigs of free USB flash space in your phone to eliminate the map file as the cause of your problem.....<br />
<br />
== '''On how to plan a route''' ==<br />
<br />
'''OPTION 1 with GPS'''<br />
<br />
1) Scroll through the map until you can see the location that you want to drive to.<br />
<br />
2) Zoom in tight on the screen, if necessary. Tap on your destination on the map.<br />
<br />
3) When Navit opens it's main menu, tap on actions.<br />
<br />
4) The car icon should show your current latitude/longitude. <br />
<br />
5) The globe icon should show the destination latitude/longitude that you tapped on the map.<br />
<br />
6) Tap on the globe icon.<br />
<br />
7) From the menu that pops up, select either bookmark this location (recommended) or navigate to this location.<br />
<br />
8) If you chose to bookmark it, tap actions | bookmarks, then tap your bookmark. Select navigate to this location.<br />
<br />
9) Depending on the distance you asked it to go, Navit should pop up the first driving direction and speak it to you within 5-10 seconds.<br />
<br />
The OSM map data apparently does not contain the concept of a state, so navigating by state/city/street lookup is difficult to impossible. Navigating by bookmark on the map is the only option for the time being.....<br />
<br />
<br />
'''OPTION 2 No GPS needed'''<br />
<br />
The map you see is centred on your last GPS/chosen location. Now you wish to plan a route at another location '''NOT''' on your current map so GPS is not going to work. You will not get a map on the screen for this location until the end of this setup.<br />
<br />
1) Remove all maps except the one that includes the locations you plan to use later. (if you fully understand how maps work in NAVIT this step is not necessary of course but for first timers it makes things simple to diagnose if you have troubles doing these steps.)<br />
<br />
2) Open bookmarks.txt ===== To do the edit go to USB mode, open R:\appdata\org.webosinternals.navit\bookmark.txt with any text editor you like (replace R: with your Drive Letter)<br />
<br />
3) add a new line<br />
<br />
mg: longitude latitude type=bookmark label="Location 1"<br />
<br />
Format is longitude and latitude, both in DD.ddd coordinates. For example Honolulu Stadium is -157.829 21.295, note the need for "-" for W longitude and "-" for S latitude. DD.ddd can have more d's added.<br />
<br />
4) save bookmarks.txt<br />
<br />
5) Start navit and navigate via bookmarks to "Location 1"<br />
<br />
6) If you want to go from place to place just add more bookmarks, suggest arrange them inside a new folder called "My Trip". <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
''' Changing The Starting position'''<br />
<br />
You might want to change the starting position of navit, especially if you are using Navit without a GPS. You can get your coordinates here: http://itouchmap.com/latlong.html<br />
<br />
You can change the starting position in navit.xml, here :<br />
<br />
<navit gui="..." graphics="..." center="4808 N 1134 E" zoom="128" ><br />
<br />
The latitude and longitude are written as multiplied by 100, i.e. you won't see the decimal point. For example, instead of 48.08, enter 4808.<br />
<br />

== Summary ==<br />
<br />
[[Image:Navit_icon.png|50px|left]]<br />
Navit is an open source (GPL) car navigation software for Linux systems. It will display your position on a map (in bird-view mode or as a 3D "visualization") from GPS sensor data, and can provide precise route calculation, touch screen functionality and supports Points of Interest (POI), which can be extended via an easy to use plugin system. Unlike other navigation systems, Navit maps are dynamically generated in real time from vector data. Information about Navit can be found [http://wiki.navit-project.org/index.php/Main_Page on the Navit wiki].<br />
<br />
== Where do you get the latest version of Navit for WebOS 1.4.5 and above ? ==<br />
<br />
There is a bug in the OTA (over the air) update from 1.4.1 to 1.4.5 that prevents Navit from working. To check for the bug open a Terminal or Novaterm and issue this command 'cat /etc/fstab|grep internal'. You should get the following line:<br />
<br />
/dev/mapper/store-media /media/internal vfat utf8,shortname=mixed,umask=0000 0 0<br />
<br />
If your line do not have the 'umask=0000' statement then you need to fix this first as explained here => http://developer.palm.com/distribution/viewtopic.php?p=34750<br />
Thanks to Rod there is now an app in The Preware Testing feed that can do the fix for you => http://forums.precentral.net/showthread.php?p=2556103<br />
<br />
Eine Deutsche Anleitung zum beheben des Problemes ist hier zu finden => http://www.nexave.de/forum/39654-fehler-im-ota-1-4-5-update.html<br />
<br />
# Open Preware. Select available applications. Then type 'Navit' and install as any other WebOS application.<br />
# This will automatically install two other needed packages if you not have installed them. The packages are 'speechd' and 'locale'.<br />
# You settings are migrated if you had installed the Navit Alpha before. Then you can skip step 4-8 the rest.<br />
# Now start Navit. You will see the OSD but no map as this will be installed in the next step. This first start will create the default settings and the empty folder for the map.<br />
# Quit Navit and connect your Pre to your PC in USB mode.<br />
# You also need a map. '''''AS OF 16 OCTOBER 2010 the NAVIT site reports that these maps are corrupted!!'''''<br />

# Put the *.bin file into the folder appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps on the USB drive of your Pre.<br />
# To switch between the three skins you need to open the navit.xml in appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/ . At the bottom you find the section where the skin is included. Remove the comment markers from the skin you plan to use and add them to the current skin.<br />
# Try it out!<br />
# Multiple maps. Using *.bin will not actually grab multiple map files but actually grab just the FIRST map file in the directory. Note that *.bin still does have it's use... If you are using just a single map file in a single directory then whenever you downoad an updated map file you can place it into the directory and not have to worry about modifying the navit.xml file with the new map name. Just remember to delete your old map file from the directory. To specify multiple map files you will have to add multiple lines to the navit.xml file with the file name for each map, switch between them via the settings/maps onscreen menu. Extra maps may be for your holiday trips to Hawaii allowing you to set up bookmarks in advance without GPS using the instructions here http://www.webos-internals.org/wiki/Application:Navit#On_how_to_plan_a_route. Having the Garmin BaseMap in your mapset allows you to see the whole world when you zoom out.<br />
To do this you need to add the mapset this way:<br />
<mapset enabled="yes"><br />
<map type="binfile" enabled="yes" active="yes" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/osm/Australia.navit.bin"/><br />
<map type="binfile" enabled="yes" active="no" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/osm/Hawaii.navit.bin"/><br />
<map type="garmin" enabled="yes" active="no" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/garmin/gmapbmap.img"/><br />
</mapset><br />
# Look at appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/navit.log on you USB drive if Navit is not working as expected. If Navit has problems it writes the information into this log file.<br />
<br />
If you have any questions about this version then you can find help here => http://forums.precentral.net/webos-internals/254622-navit-3d-car-navigation-system.html<br />
<br />
== Using Map&Guide maps ==<br />
<br />
For all Europe uses. You can get a good Mapset from Amazon for 5 Euro => [http://www.amazon.de/Marco-Polo-Gro%C3%9Fer-Reiseplaner-DVD-ROM/dp/3829731426/ Marco Polo Großer Reiseplaner 2007/2008 (DVD-ROM) auf Amazon.de]<br />
<br />
The disadvantage is that the complete map is 3GB, if you only take Germany and the Major roots of Europe it is still 1GB.<br />
<br />
'''For Linux'''<br />
# Change directory to where DVD is mounted<br />
# Unpack data2.cab with: unshield x travel/data2.cab <br />
# Now, you should get a directory named like DIRLAN_GER.<br />
# Inside you find the maps...<br />
'''For Windows'''<br />
# Install the appliaction<br />
# you find the maps in a folder inside the program folder.<br />
<br />
'''Installing the maps'''<br />
# The dem.map folder with all the majors roads and towns of Europe...<br />
# ...and five smpX.smp folders, which contain the details of countries:<br />
* smp1: DK,S,N,IS,FIN,N<br />
* smp2: F,E,GBZ,P,AND,MC<br />
* smp3: Germany<br />
* smp4: CZ,SK,RSM,EST,GEO,LV,LT,MD,RUS,UA,BY,GR,H,I,RO,CH,A,PL,AL,MT,CY,BG,FL,SRB,MNE,HR,SLO,BIH,MK,TR,AZ,AM,V<br />
* smp5: NL,B,GB,L,IRL <br />
# copy the dem.map folder into a place on your hard drive<br />
# remove all *d60* files from the dem.map folder<br />
# copy the dem.map folder into /MaypsNavit on you usb drive<br />
# copy the smpX.smp folder you need into /MaypsNavit/dem.map folder<br />
# open appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/navit.xml and change the following:<br />
<mapset enabled="yes"><br />
<map type="binfile" enabled="yes" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/*.bin"/><br />
</mapset><br />
to <br />
<mapset enabled="yes"><br />
<map type="binfile" enabled="yes" active="yes" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/osm/*.bin"/><br />
<map type="mg" enabled="yes" active="no" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/dem.map" /><br />
<map type="mg" enabled="yes" active="no" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/dem.map/smp3.smp" /><br />
</mapset><br />
<br />
Now you can switch between the OSM and the M&G maps from the settings/maps menu inside of Navit. The OSM map is the default. To make M&G the default you need to invert the active switches.<br />
<br />
I would expect the the Map&Guide maps for other countries will also work. But you need to find a cheep Product that contains them.<br />
<br />
If you have the m&g and the OSM maps on your USB drive then you can use the index from the m&g maps for searching and the OSM maps for routing and display. To do this you need to add the mapset this way:<br />
<mapset enabled="yes"><br />
<map type="mg" enabled="yes" active="no" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/dem.map/smp3.smp" /><br />
<map type="mg" enabled="yes" active="no" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/dem.map" /><br />
<map type="binfile" enabled="yes" active="yes" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/osm/*.bin"/><br />
</mapset><br />
It looks like Navit uses the street index of the first enabled map even if it is not active.<br />
<br />
== Changing the display of POI (Points of interest) symbols ==<br />
<br />
you can switch every POI symbol off and on, but there is no Menu function to do it. Connect your Pre in USB Mode and open "appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/navit_layout.xml".<br />
<br />
'''Make a backup of the file before you start and be careful. Navit will not start if you mess up the file !!!'''<br />
<br />
This file defines the different layouts that you can select (Car, Car-dark, bike and T@M). Every layout starts with a line like this:<br />
<br />
<layout name="Car" nightlayout="Car-dark" color="#ffefb7" font="Prelude"><br />
.<br />
.<br />
.<br />
</layout><br />
<br />
If you scroll down in the layout you will find the POI definitions. It starts with the line:<br />
<br />
<layer name="POI Symbols"><br />
<br />
For every defined POI symbole you find the following three lines:<br />
<br />
<itemgra item_types="poi_hotel" order="12-"><br />
<icon src="hotel.png"/><br />
</itemgra><br />
<br />
to switch the POI of simply remove the three lines or change them to<br />
<pre><br />
<!-- <itemgra item_types="poi_hotel" order="12-"><br />
<icon src="hotel.png"/><br />
</itemgra> <br />
--><br />
</pre><br />
Then you can switch them on later if you like.<br />
<br />
Navit loads the first layout that is defined in this file on startup. If you like to have a other layout you will need to move it to the beginning of the file. You can find more documentation in the navit_layout.xml file. The current version can be found in the git repository => http://git.webos-internals.org/?p=preware/cross-compile.git;a=blob;f=packages/apps/navit/files/navit_layout.xml<br />
<br />
<br />
== Understanding ISSUES with OpenStreet Maps ==<br />
<br />
There is a list of issues that first time users keep asking about. These are not WEBOS issues but due to how NAVIT operates with OpenStreet maps. Look at <br />
http://wiki.navit-project.org/index.php/OpenStreetMaps#Problems_with_OSM_and_navit_or_navigation_in_general<br />
Look at the section below called "On how to plan a route" for advice.<br />
<br />
== Why don't I get the new skins we see below? ==<br />
Installation of Navit only copies in the new XML files '''''if the Navit.xml is not there'''''. You need to delete the old ones to get the new. '''''Preware does NOT REMOVE THEM!'''''<br />
<br />
<br />
You find the xml files on the USB drive J: (or another drive X: when your Pre is in USB mode (not charge only mode) depending upon your PC setup.<br />
<br />
Located here J:/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/<br />
<br />
To switch between the three skins shown below you need to open the navit.xml in appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/ . At the bottom you find the section where the skin is included.<br />
Remove the comment markers from the skin you plan to use and add them to the current skin. For example to use < !-- <xi:include href="$NAVIT_USER_DATADIR/navit_gui.xml"/> -- > remove the < !-- and the -- > and ADD the same in front and back of the existing skin, for example <xi:include href="$NAVIT_USER_DATADIR/navit_gui_PreNav.xml"/>. There is NO SPACE between the < and -- and similarly between -- and > in the code. The space appears in this wiki text due to formatting issues.<br />
<br />
== Only as a start. Some images of the current skins: ==<br />

== How to get around the menus v3 (still not complete)''' ==<br />
<br />
''As an aside the screen captures don't work on full screen - sorry.''<br />
<br />
Main screen is seen here before GPS lock <br />
<br />
[[Image:Start_screen.png]] (here the last saved GPS position is used to choose the starting map).<br />
<br />
Press your finger on the screen and "push" the map around to get the desired location (where you are now or where you want to go) right into the centre of the screen (if you want to zoom into a location use the + button). Tap the screen and you will get the Main Menu shown here.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Main_menu.png]]<br />
Since we want to go somewhere tap on Actions.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Actions_menu.png]]<br />
Now you have a choice of the Location at the center of the map screen, the location of the car (no good here as GPS has not locked in), the Location of a saved Bookmark, or searching for a Location in your OSM or other map you have already loaded into your Pre at /media/NavitMaps/. Choosing Town we get this screen.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Town_view.png]]<br />
Now unless you live in the USA you can now enter a town. If not tap on the US flag and you should get this screen.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Town_view2.png]]<br />
Now Type in your country eg Au will give at least two countries to choose from. Select one and you will then get to enter a town, the street and then house. Lots of times this does not work too well as the House numbering is not available. In this case follow instructions below on How to Plan a Route. <br />
Here are some FAQ about searching http://wiki.navit-project.org/index.php/OpenStreetMaps#Search_for_my_town_works.2C_but_I_can.27t_find_my_street<br />
<br />
OK I have told NAVIT that I wish to go to my new destination and now its ready to go. <br />
<br />
<br />
[[Image:Navit_OK_to_drive.png]] <br />
<br />
<br />
It shows the way to go as a BIG FAT BLUE line as well as speaking the directions. If you want to read the directions Chooose Route then Description. The voice reads these out as you go along the route. Now Rod Whitby can guess where I live.<br />
<br />
[[Now you want to change from a CAR to a Pedestrian, Horse or BIKE!]]<br />
<br />
Choose the Main Menu, then choose Settings and you will see this<br />
<br />
[[Image:Settings_menu.png]]<br />
Now choose Vehicle and you will see this<br />
<br />
[[Image:Vehicle_screen.png]]<br />
Now select GPS and you will see your last choice which is shown here as a car.<br />
<br />
[[Image:GPS_screen_car.png]]<br />
Press once on the row Change profile to: pedestrian (for example)<br />
Then at the top of the screen press on VEHICLE. This will get you back to the GPS screen. Now if you select GPS again you will get this screen confirming you are now a pedestrian.<br />
<br />

Enjoy :-)<br />

[[Changing Map view (or getting rid of all the POIs)]]<br />

Helpful notes from vreihen on 18 and 26 May 2010 now follow,<br />
<br />
== On starting up issues ie '''why the map layer isn't loading?''' ==<br />
<br />
<br />
When Navit first starts up, it uses the north pole as it's initial position (if I recall correctly) until it gets an initial GPS fix. Your map layer problem may be that the GPS point is still at the north pole, or perhaps outside of the map that you have installed. If you tap on the center of the screen and tap on actions, there will be an icon of a car and an icon of a globe. The car icon is your current position, and should contain a non-zero latitude and longitude if your GPS is working and has a fix. Verify that those coordinates are where you are located before you dig any deeper into the maps as the cause of the missing layer.<br />
<br />
The information panels at the bottom of the screen are only populated when Navit is navigating between two points. Otherwise, they should be blank.<br />
<br />
If all else fails with the maps, you could download the entire planet.bin if you have 3.5 gigs of free USB flash space in your phone to eliminate the map file as the cause of your problem.....<br />
<br />
== '''On how to plan a route''' ==<br />
<br />
'''OPTION 1 with GPS'''<br />
<br />
1) Scroll through the map until you can see the location that you want to drive to.<br />
<br />
2) Zoom in tight on the screen, if necessary. Tap on your destination on the map.<br />
<br />
3) When Navit opens it's main menu, tap on actions.<br />
<br />
4) The car icon should show your current latitude/longitude. <br />
<br />
5) The globe icon should show the destination latitude/longitude that you tapped on the map.<br />
<br />
6) Tap on the globe icon.<br />
<br />
7) From the menu that pops up, select either bookmark this location (recommended) or navigate to this location.<br />
<br />
8) If you chose to bookmark it, tap actions | bookmarks, then tap your bookmark. Select navigate to this location.<br />
<br />
9) Depending on the distance you asked it to go, Navit should pop up the first driving direction and speak it to you within 5-10 seconds.<br />
<br />
The OSM map data apparently does not contain the concept of a state, so navigating by state/city/street lookup is difficult to impossible. Navigating by bookmark on the map is the only option for the time being.....<br />
<br />
<br />
'''OPTION 2 No GPS needed'''<br />
<br />
The map you see is centred on your last GPS/chosen location. Now you wish to plan a route at another location '''NOT''' on your current map so GPS is not going to work. You will not get a map on the screen for this location until the end of this setup.<br />
<br />
1) Remove all maps except the one that includes the locations you plan to use later. (if you fully understand how maps work in NAVIT this step is not necessary of course but for first timers it makes things simple to diagnose if you have troubles doing these steps.)<br />
<br />
2) Open bookmarks.txt ===== To do the edit go to USB mode, open R:\appdata\org.webosinternals.navit\bookmark.txt with any text editor you like (replace R: with your Drive Letter)<br />
<br />
3) add a new line<br />
<br />
mg: longitude latitude type=bookmark label="Location 1"<br />
<br />
Format is longitude and latitude, both in DD.ddd coordinates. For example Honolulu Stadium is -157.829 21.295, note the need for "-" for W longitude and "-" for S latitude. DD.ddd can have more d's added.<br />
<br />
4) save bookmarks.txt<br />
<br />
5) Start navit and navigate via bookmarks to "Location 1"<br />
<br />
6) If you want to go from place to place just add more bookmarks, suggest arrange them inside a new folder called "My Trip". <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
''' Changing The Starting position'''<br />
<br />
You might want to change the starting position of navit, especially if you are using Navit without a GPS. You can get your coordinates here: http://itouchmap.com/latlong.html<br />
<br />
You can change the starting position in navit.xml, here :<br />
<br />
<navit gui="..." graphics="..." center="4808 N 1134 E" zoom="128" ><br />
<br />
The latitude and longitude are written as multiplied by 100, i.e. you won't see the decimal point. For example, instead of 48.08, enter 4808.<br />
<br />
== So you want Miles not km? ==<br />

<div>[[Category: SDL]]<br />
Palm's binary sdk the "Plugin Developer Kit" became available to all developers in March 2010.<br />
<br />
In addition to the PDK, WebOS Internals has released a full "WIDK" (WebOS Internals Development Kit) for you using Scratchbox2. <br />
<br />
We ''strongly'' urge the community to standardize on this WIDK. It uses the same underlying technologies, and is entirely open. <br />
<br />
Scratchbox 2 is a cross-compilation engine, it can be used to create a highly flexible SDK.<br />
<br />
As installed below, the install process uses a script which extracts the required Palm provided files from a copy of webos doctor, and downloads from other sources, and builds a complete compilation environment automatically which can compile SDL and openGLES apps for webOS. <br />
<br />
SB2 ''itself'' is totally distribution neutral but the webOS cross-compile environment is designed and tested on Ubuntu 9.10 32 bit. (At least one user in #webos-internals reports complete success running the cross compile environment in Ubuntu 9.10 64 bit after installing curl via apt-get.) See [[WebOS_Internals_PDK_on_Mandriva]] if you want to run it on Mandriva and are willing to support that yourself and not ask WebOS Internals any questions about it. Otherwise, use the recommended OS.<br />
<br />
The webOS Internals team ''strongly suggest'' apt-get install into that environment only for this purpose. The same installation of Sun Virtualbox which hosts the Palm SDK emulator can host an Ubuntu 9.10 server with very little effort. <br />
<br />
Developers wanting to work in an open environment 'without' SB2 can consider using the [[PuffTheMagic NDK]].<br />
<br />
==SB2 Homepage==<br />
[http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/sbox2 http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/sbox2]pdk<br />
<br />
==License==<br />
Scratchbox 2 is distributed under LGPL version 2.1, portions are under GPL version 2. Some minor stuff is under MIT style license.<br />
<br />
== Installation on Ubuntu for WebOS PDK cross compiling ==<br />
<br />
If setting up in a Virtual Box instance, it is recommended that you first complete the openSSH config as described in the VirtualBox tips for Windows users to the right. This is helpful even with a Linux host, as SSH into the PDK Virtual Machine will allow copy and paste of the commands listed below and reduce errors.<br />

<br />
'''Note:''' If you are a beginner with Ubuntu Linux Distribution, you should update all the packages on your system to avoid problems when you will compile.<BR><br />
Use these 2 command line :<BR><br />
Update repositories :<br />
sudo aptitude update<br />
And next, update the packages :<br />
sudo aptitude safe-upgrade<br />
<br />
If you're on a 64-bit system, you will also need to install the ia32-libs package.<br />
<br />
'''Note:''' The ''make toolchain'' command and later steps will download approximately a half-gig of tools and sources from various locations. Do not start this if you do not have time for a large download. Additionally, if you already have downloaded a copy of the correct version of the WebOS doctor, you can reduce the download time by copying the doctor file into cross-compile/doctors/ with the correct name. This will cause the appropriate command to skip that download. Note that codesourcery rate limts downloads and at a minimum this process will take 10 to 15 minutes irrespective of your connection speed. <br />
<br />
====Start setup====<br />
Create a preware folder, copy the cross-compile tools into it (if you have not installed git, apt-get install git-core), and use a make script to begin the set up of the compilation toolchain. <br />
<br />
sudo mkdir -p /srv/preware<br />
cd /srv/preware<br />
sudo chmod 777 .<br />
git clone git://git.webos-internals.org/preware/cross-compile.git<br />
cd cross-compile<br />
make toolchain<br />
<br />
====Fix mmap errors====<br />
The following commands appear redundant. They are not. The install this fixes your mmap config to fix an mmap: permission denied error, but we don't need the package itself. (Do each command separately with cut and paste).<br />
<br />
sudo apt-get install qemu-arm-static<br />
sudo apt-get remove qemu-arm-static<br />
<br />
: <span style="font-size:150%">OR</span> As a workaround, if this package is not available, <br />
::: the following commands can be executed in a root shell (sudo -s) to fix the mmap configuration to enable qemu-arm to work.<br />
<br />
echo "vm.mmap_min_addr = 4096" > /etc/sysctl.d/mmap_min_addr.conf<br />
/etc/init.d/procps restart<br />
<br />
(note that the value should not be "0". 4096 is chosen to avoid null pointer attacks.)<br />
<br />
====Verify sh shell====<br />
On Ubuntu /bin/sh is a symbolic link to dash. This will cause errors with the make stage command below, as some of the scripts assume bash. Run the following command to see what shell sh is linked to.<br />
<br />
ls -l /bin/sh<br />
<br />
If the result is a link to dash:<br />
<br />
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 2010-07-06 23:55 /bin/sh -> dash<br />
<br />
You will want to correct it with the following:<br />
<br />
sudo dpkg-reconfigure dash<br />
<br />
You will be asked if you want to "Install dash as /bin/sh?". Select "<No>" and bash will be used. Rerun the command to verify:<br />
<br />
ls -l /bin/sh<br />
<br />
You should now see:<br />
<br />
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 2010-07-09 21:12 /bin/sh -> bash<br />
<br />
====Setup Scratchbox====<br />
Now, use apt-get to setup scratchbox...<br />
<br />
sudo apt-get install scratchbox2 qemu-kvm-extras<br />
<br />
...and set it up for compiling for webOS. <br />
<br />
cd /srv/preware/cross-compile/toolchain/arm-2007q3/arm-none-linux-gnueabi/libc<br />
PATH=/srv/preware/cross-compile/toolchain/arm-2007q3/bin:${PATH} sb2-init -c /usr/bin/qemu-arm armv7 arm-none-linux-gnueabi-gcc<br />
cd /srv/preware/cross-compile<br />
<br />
Then:<br />
<br />
make stage<br />
<br />
Once this setup is complete, compiling sdl apps for webOS is very simple.<br />
<br />

== Summary ==<br />
<br />
[[Image:Navit_icon.png|50px|left]]<br />
Navit is an open source (GPL) car navigation software for Linux systems. It will display your position on a map (in bird-view mode or as a 3D "visualization") from GPS sensor data, and can provide precise route calculation, touch screen functionality and supports Points of Interest (POI), which can be extended via an easy to use plugin system. Unlike other navigation systems, Navit maps are dynamically generated in real time from vector data. Information about Navit can be found [http://wiki.navit-project.org/index.php/Main_Page on the Navit wiki].<br />
<br />
== Where do you get the latest version of Navit for WebOS 1.4.5 and above ? ==<br />
<br />
There is a bug in the OTA (over the air) update from 1.4.1 to 1.4.5 that prevents Navit from working. To check for the bug open a Terminal or Novaterm and issue this command 'cat /etc/fstab|grep internal'. You should get the following line:<br />
<br />
/dev/mapper/store-media /media/internal vfat utf8,shortname=mixed,umask=0000 0 0<br />
<br />
If your line do not have the 'umask=0000' statement then you need to fix this first as explained here => http://developer.palm.com/distribution/viewtopic.php?p=34750<br />
Thanks to Rod there is now an app in The Preware Testing feed that can do the fix for you => http://forums.precentral.net/showthread.php?p=2556103<br />
<br />
Eine Deutsche Anleitung zum beheben des Problemes ist hier zu finden => http://www.nexave.de/forum/39654-fehler-im-ota-1-4-5-update.html<br />
<br />
# Open Preware. Select available applications. Then type 'Navit' and install as any other WebOS application.<br />
# This will automatically install two other needed packages if you not have installed them. The packages are 'speechd' and 'locale'.<br />
# You settings are migrated if you had installed the Navit Alpha before. Then you can skip step 4-8 the rest.<br />
# Now start Navit. You will see the OSD but no map as this will be installed in the next step. This first start will create the default settings and the empty folder for the map.<br />
# Quit Navit and connect your Pre to your PC in USB mode.<br />
# You also need a map.

# Put the *.bin file into the folder appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps on the USB drive of your Pre.<br />
# To switch between the three skins you need to open the navit.xml in appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/ . At the bottom you find the section where the skin is included. Remove the comment markers from the skin you plan to use and add them to the current skin.<br />
# Try it out!<br />
# Multiple maps. Using *.bin will not actually grab multiple map files but actually grab just the FIRST map file in the directory. Note that *.bin still does have it's use... If you are using just a single map file in a single directory then whenever you downoad an updated map file you can place it into the directory and not have to worry about modifying the navit.xml file with the new map name. Just remember to delete your old map file from the directory. To specify multiple map files you will have to add multiple lines to the navit.xml file with the file name for each map, switch between them via the settings/maps onscreen menu. Extra maps may be for your holiday trips to Hawaii allowing you to set up bookmarks in advance without GPS using the instructions here http://www.webos-internals.org/wiki/Application:Navit#On_how_to_plan_a_route. Having the Garmin BaseMap in your mapset allows you to see the whole world when you zoom out.<br />
To do this you need to add the mapset this way:<br />
<mapset enabled="yes"><br />
<map type="binfile" enabled="yes" active="yes" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/osm/Australia.navit.bin"/><br />
<map type="binfile" enabled="yes" active="no" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/osm/Hawaii.navit.bin"/><br />
<map type="garmin" enabled="yes" active="no" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/garmin/gmapbmap.img"/><br />
</mapset><br />
# Look at appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/navit.log on you USB drive if Navit is not working as expected. If Navit has problems it writes the information into this log file.<br />

# Connect your Pre in USB mode, create a folder named MapsNavit and put the *.bin file into it. <br />
# To switch between the three skins you need to open the navit.xml in appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/ . At the bottom you find the section where the skin is included. Remove the comment markers from the skin you plan to use and add them to the current skin.<br />
# Try it out!<br />
# Look at appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/navit.log on you USB drive if Navit is not working as expected. If Navit has problems it writes the information into this log file.<br />
<br />
== Using Map&Guide maps ==<br />
<br />
For all Europe uses. You can get a good Mapset from Amazon for 5 Euro => [http://www.amazon.de/Marco-Polo-Gro%C3%9Fer-Reiseplaner-DVD-ROM/dp/3829731426/ Marco Polo Großer Reiseplaner 2007/2008 (DVD-ROM) auf Amazon.de]<br />
<br />
The disadvantage is that the complete map is 3GB, if you only take Germany and the Major roots of Europe it is still 1GB.<br />
<br />
'''For Linux'''<br />
# Change directory to where DVD is mounted<br />
# Unpack data2.cab with: unshield x travel/data2.cab <br />
# Now, you should get a directory named like DIRLAN_GER.<br />
# Inside you find the maps...<br />
'''For Windows'''<br />
# Install the appliaction<br />
# you find the maps in a folder inside the program folder.<br />
<br />
'''Installing the maps'''<br />
# The dem.map folder with all the majors roads and towns of Europe...<br />
# ...and five smpX.smp folders, which contain the details of countries:<br />
* smp1: DK,S,N,IS,FIN,N<br />
* smp2: F,E,GBZ,P,AND,MC<br />
* smp3: Germany<br />
* smp4: CZ,SK,RSM,EST,GEO,LV,LT,MD,RUS,UA,BY,GR,H,I,RO,CH,A,PL,AL,MT,CY,BG,FL,SRB,MNE,HR,SLO,BIH,MK,TR,AZ,AM,V<br />
* smp5: NL,B,GB,L,IRL <br />
# copy the dem.map folder into a place on your hard drive<br />
# remove all *d60* files from the dem.map folder<br />
# copy the dem.map folder into /MaypsNavit on you usb drive<br />
# copy the smpX.smp folder you need into /MaypsNavit/dem.map folder<br />
# open appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/navit.xml and change the following:<br />
<mapset enabled="yes"><br />
<map type="binfile" enabled="yes" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/*.bin"/><br />
</mapset><br />
to <br />
<mapset enabled="yes"><br />
<map type="binfile" enabled="yes" active="yes" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/osm/*.bin"/><br />
<map type="mg" enabled="yes" active="no" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/dem.map" /><br />
<map type="mg" enabled="yes" active="no" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/dem.map/smp3.smp" /><br />
</mapset><br />
<br />
Now you can switch between the OSM and the M&G maps from the settings/maps menu inside of Navit. The OSM map is the default. To make M&G the default you need to invert the active switches.<br />
<br />
I would expect the the Map&Guide maps for other countries will also work. But you need to find a cheep Product that contains them.<br />
<br />
If you have the m&g and the OSM maps on your USB drive then you can use the index from the m&g maps for searching and the OSM maps for routing and display. To do this you need to add the mapset this way:<br />
<mapset enabled="yes"><br />
<map type="mg" enabled="yes" active="no" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/dem.map/smp3.smp" /><br />
<map type="mg" enabled="yes" active="no" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/dem.map" /><br />
<map type="binfile" enabled="yes" active="yes" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/osm/*.bin"/><br />
</mapset><br />
It looks like Navit uses the street index of the first enabled map even if it is not active.<br />
<br />
== Changing the display of POI (Points of interest) symbols ==<br />
<br />
you can switch every POI symbol off and on, but there is no Menu function to do it. Connect your Pre in USB Mode and open "appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/navit_layout.xml".<br />
<br />
'''Make a backup of the file before you start and be careful. Navit will not start if you mess up the file !!!'''<br />
<br />
This file defines the different layouts that you can select (Car, Car-dark, bike and T@M). Every layout starts with a line like this:<br />
<br />
<layout name="Car" nightlayout="Car-dark" color="#ffefb7" font="Prelude"><br />
.<br />
.<br />
.<br />
</layout><br />
<br />
If you scroll down in the layout you will find the POI definitions. It starts with the line:<br />
<br />
<layer name="POI Symbols"><br />
<br />
For every defined POI symbole you find the following three lines:<br />
<br />
<itemgra item_types="poi_hotel" order="12-"><br />
<icon src="hotel.png"/><br />
</itemgra><br />
<br />
to switch the POI of simply remove the three lines or change them to<br />
<pre><br />
<!-- <itemgra item_types="poi_hotel" order="12-"><br />
<icon src="hotel.png"/><br />
</itemgra> <br />
--><br />
</pre><br />
Then you can switch them on later if you like.<br />
<br />
Navit loads the first layout that is defined in this file on startup. If you like to have a other layout you will need to move it to the beginning of the file. You can find more documentation in the navit_layout.xml file. The current version can be found in the git repository => http://git.webos-internals.org/?p=preware/cross-compile.git;a=blob;f=packages/apps/navit/files/navit_layout.xml<br />
<br />
<br />
== Understanding ISSUES with OpenStreet Maps ==<br />
<br />
There is a list of issues that first time users keep asking about. These are not WEBOS issues but due to how NAVIT operates with OpenStreet maps. Look at <br />
http://wiki.navit-project.org/index.php/OpenStreetMaps#Problems_with_OSM_and_navit_or_navigation_in_general<br />
Look at the section below called "On how to plan a route" for advice.<br />
<br />
== Why don't I get the new skins we see below? ==<br />
Installation of Navit only copies in the new XML files '''''if the Navit.xml is not there'''''. You need to delete the old ones to get the new. '''''Preware does NOT REMOVE THEM!'''''<br />
<br />
<br />
You find the xml files on the USB drive J: (or another drive X: when your Pre is in USB mode (not charge only mode) depending upon your PC setup.<br />
<br />
Located here J:/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/<br />
<br />
To switch between the three skins shown below you need to open the navit.xml in appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/ . At the bottom you find the section where the skin is included.<br />
Remove the comment markers from the skin you plan to use and add them to the current skin. For example to use < !-- <xi:include href="$NAVIT_USER_DATADIR/navit_gui.xml"/> -- > remove the < !-- and the -- > and ADD the same in front and back of the existing skin, for example <xi:include href="$NAVIT_USER_DATADIR/navit_gui_PreNav.xml"/>. There is NO SPACE between the < and -- and similarly between -- and > in the code. The space appears in this wiki text due to formatting issues.<br />
<br />
== Only as a start. Some images of the current skins: ==<br />
<br />
<br />
Skin PreNav:<br />

'''<br />
<br />
== How to get around the menus v3 (still not complete)''' ==<br />
<br />
''As an aside the screen captures don't work on full screen - sorry.''<br />
<br />
Main screen is seen here before GPS lock <br />
<br />
[[Image:Start_screen.png]] (here the last saved GPS position is used to choose the starting map).<br />
<br />
Press your finger on the screen and "push" the map around to get the desired location (where you are now or where you want to go) right into the centre of the screen (if you want to zoom into a location use the + button). Tap the screen and you will get the Main Menu shown here.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Main_menu.png]]<br />
Since we want to go somewhere tap on Actions.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Actions_menu.png]]<br />
Now you have a choice of the Location at the center of the map screen, the location of the car (no good here as GPS has not locked in), the Location of a saved Bookmark, or searching for a Location in your OSM or other map you have already loaded into your Pre at /media/NavitMaps/. Choosing Town we get this screen.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Town_view.png]]<br />
Now unless you live in the USA you can now enter a town. If not tap on the US flag and you should get this screen.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Town_view2.png]]<br />
Now Type in your country eg Au will give at least two countries to choose from. Select one and you will then get to enter a town, the street and then house. Lots of times this does not work too well as the House numbering is not available. In this case follow instructions below on How to Plan a Route. <br />
Here are some FAQ about searching http://wiki.navit-project.org/index.php/OpenStreetMaps#Search_for_my_town_works.2C_but_I_can.27t_find_my_street<br />
<br />
OK I have told NAVIT that I wish to go to my new destination and now its ready to go. <br />
<br />
<br />
[[Image:Navit_OK_to_drive.png]] <br />
<br />
<br />
It shows the way to go as a BIG FAT BLUE line as well as speaking the directions. If you want to read the directions Chooose Route then Description. The voice reads these out as you go along the route. Now Rod Whitby can guess where I live.<br />
<br />
[[Now you want to change from a CAR to a Pedestrian, Horse or BIKE!]]<br />
<br />
Choose the Main Menu, then choose Settings and you will see this<br />
<br />
[[Image:Settings_menu.png]]<br />
Now choose Vehicle and you will see this<br />
<br />
[[Image:Vehicle_screen.png]]<br />
Now select GPS and you will see your last choice which is shown here as a car.<br />
<br />
[[Image:GPS_screen_car.png]]<br />
Press once on the row Change profile to: pedestrian (for example)<br />
Then at the top of the screen press on VEHICLE. This will get you back to the GPS screen. Now if you select GPS again you will get this screen confirming you are now a pedestrian.<br />
<br />
[[Image:GPS_screen_ped.png]]<br />
Enjoy :-)<br />
<br />
[[Changing Map view (or getting rid of all the POIs)]]<br />
<br />
If you want very few POIs the simplest option is MainMenu>>Settings>>Display>>Layout>>T@H<br />
<br />
[[Image:choose T@H.png]] [[Image:T@H view.png]] <br />
Go back to map and you will see hardly any POIs. <br />
<br />
Helpful notes from vreihen on 18 and 26 May 2010 now follow,<br />
<br />
== On starting up issues ie '''why the map layer isn't loading?''' ==<br />
<br />
<br />
When Navit first starts up, it uses the north pole as it's initial position (if I recall correctly) until it gets an initial GPS fix. Your map layer problem may be that the GPS point is still at the north pole, or perhaps outside of the map that you have installed. If you tap on the center of the screen and tap on actions, there will be an icon of a car and an icon of a globe. The car icon is your current position, and should contain a non-zero latitude and longitude if your GPS is working and has a fix. Verify that those coordinates are where you are located before you dig any deeper into the maps as the cause of the missing layer.<br />
<br />
The information panels at the bottom of the screen are only populated when Navit is navigating between two points. Otherwise, they should be blank.<br />
<br />
If all else fails with the maps, you could download the entire planet.bin if you have 3.5 gigs of free USB flash space in your phone to eliminate the map file as the cause of your problem.....<br />
<br />
== '''On how to plan a route''' ==<br />
<br />
'''OPTION 1 with GPS'''<br />
<br />
1) Scroll through the map until you can see the location that you want to drive to.<br />
<br />
2) Zoom in tight on the screen, if necessary. Tap on your destination on the map.<br />
<br />
3) When Navit opens it's main menu, tap on actions.<br />
<br />
4) The car icon should show your current latitude/longitude. <br />
<br />
5) The globe icon should show the destination latitude/longitude that you tapped on the map.<br />
<br />
6) Tap on the globe icon.<br />
<br />
7) From the menu that pops up, select either bookmark this location (recommended) or navigate to this location.<br />
<br />
8) If you chose to bookmark it, tap actions | bookmarks, then tap your bookmark. Select navigate to this location.<br />
<br />
9) Depending on the distance you asked it to go, Navit should pop up the first driving direction and speak it to you within 5-10 seconds.<br />
<br />
The OSM map data apparently does not contain the concept of a state, so navigating by state/city/street lookup is difficult to impossible. Navigating by bookmark on the map is the only option for the time being.....<br />
<br />
<br />
'''OPTION 2 No GPS needed'''<br />
<br />
The map you see is centred on your last GPS/chosen location. Now you wish to plan a route at another location '''NOT''' on your current map so GPS is not going to work. You will not get a map on the screen for this location until the end of this setup.<br />
<br />
1) Remove all maps except the one that includes the locations you plan to use later. (if you fully understand how maps work in NAVIT this step is not necessary of course but for first timers it makes things simple to diagnose if you have troubles doing these steps.)<br />
<br />
2) Open bookmarks.txt ===== To do the edit go to USB mode, open R:\appdata\org.webosinternals.navit\bookmark.txt with any text editor you like (replace R: with your Drive Letter)<br />
<br />
3) add a new line<br />
<br />
mg: longitude latitude type=bookmark label="Location 1"<br />
<br />
Format is longitude and latitude, both in DD.ddd coordinates. For example Honolulu Stadium is -157.829 21.295, note the need for "-" for W longitude and "-" for S latitude. DD.ddd can have more d's added.<br />
<br />
4) save bookmarks.txt<br />
<br />
5) Start navit and navigate via bookmarks to "Location 1"<br />
<br />
6) If you want to go from place to place just add more bookmarks, suggest arrange them inside a new folder called "My Trip". <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
''' Changing The Starting position'''<br />
<br />
You might want to change the starting position of navit, especially if you are using Navit without a GPS. You can get your coordinates here: http://itouchmap.com/latlong.html<br />
<br />
You can change the starting position in navit.xml, here :<br />
<br />
<navit gui="..." graphics="..." center="4808 N 1134 E" zoom="128" ><br />
<br />
The latitude and longitude are written as multiplied by 100, i.e. you won't see the decimal point. For example, instead of 48.08, enter 4808.<br />
<br />

== Summary ==<br />
<br />
[[Image:Navit_icon.png|50px|left]]<br />
Navit is an open source (GPL) car navigation software for Linux systems. It will display your position on a map (in bird-view mode or as a 3D "visualization") from GPS sensor data, and can provide precise route calculation, touch screen functionality and supports Points of Interest (POI), which can be extended via an easy to use plugin system. Unlike other navigation systems, Navit maps are dynamically generated in real time from vector data. Information about Navit can be found [http://wiki.navit-project.org/index.php/Main_Page on the Navit wiki].<br />
<br />
== Where do you get the latest version of Navit for WebOS 1.4.5 and above ? ==<br />
<br />
There is a bug in the OTA (over the air) update from 1.4.1 to 1.4.5 that prevents Navit from working. To check for the bug open a Terminal or Novaterm and issue this command 'cat /etc/fstab|grep internal'. You should get the following line:<br />
<br />
/dev/mapper/store-media /media/internal vfat utf8,shortname=mixed,umask=0000 0 0<br />
<br />
If your line do not have the 'umask=0000' statement then you need to fix this first as explained here => http://developer.palm.com/distribution/viewtopic.php?p=34750<br />
Thanks to Rod there is now an app in The Preware Testing feed that can do the fix for you => http://forums.precentral.net/showthread.php?p=2556103<br />
<br />
Eine Deutsche Anleitung zum beheben des Problemes ist hier zu finden => http://www.nexave.de/forum/39654-fehler-im-ota-1-4-5-update.html<br />
<br />
# Open Preware. Select available applications. Then type 'Navit' and install as any other WebOS application.<br />
# This will automatically install two other needed packages if you not have installed them. The packages are 'speechd' and 'locale'.<br />
# You settings are migrated if you had installed the Navit Alpha before. Then you can skip step 4-8 the rest.<br />
# Now start Navit. You will see the OSD but no map as this will be installed in the next step. This first start will create the default settings and the empty folder for the map.<br />
# Quit Navit and connect your Pre to your PC in USB mode.<br />
# You also need a map. Go to http://maps.navit-project.org/download/ and create one of the part of the world you need or look for created maps here => http://wiki.navit-project.org/index.php/OpenStreetMaps or use this direct links:<br/>[http://maps.navit-project.org/api/map/?bbox=-125.4,24.3,-66.5,49.3 USA (except Alaska and Hawaii)]<br/>[http://maps.navit-project.org/api/map/?bbox=-179.5,49.5,-129,71.6 Alaska]<br/>[http://maps.navit-project.org/api/map/?bbox=-161.07,18.49,-154.45,22.85 Hawaii]<br/>[http://maps.navit-project.org/api/map/?bbox=-141.3,41.5,-52.2,70.2 Canada]<br/>[http://maps.navit-project.org/api/map/?bbox=-117.6,14.1,-86.4,32.8 Mexico]<br/>[http://maps.navit-project.org/api/map/?bbox=-9.7,49.6,2.2,61.2 UK]<br/>[http://maps.navit-project.org/api/map/?bbox=-11.17,51.25,-5.23,55.9 Ireland]<br/>[http://maps.navit-project.org/api/map/?bbox=5.18,46.8,15.4,55.6 Germany]<br/>[http://maps.navit-project.org/api/map/?bbox=-5.45,42.0,8.44,51.68 France]<br/>[http://maps.navit-project.org/api/map/?bbox=2.08,48.86,7.78,54.51 Benelux]<br/>[http://maps.navit-project.org/api/map/?bbox=-11.03,34.87,4.61,44.4 Spain and Portugal]<br/>[http://maps.navit-project.org/api/map/?bbox=6.52,36.38,18.96,47.19 Italy]<br/>[http://maps.navit-project.org/api/map/?bbox=7.49,54.33,13.05,57.88 Denmark]<br/>[http://maps.navit-project.org/api/map/?bbox=9.4,46.32,17.21,49.1 Austria]<br/>[http://maps.navit-project.org/api/map/?bbox=5.79,45.74,10.59,47.84 Switzerland]<br/>[http://maps.navit-project.org/api/map/?bbox=11.91,48.48,19.02,51.17 Czech Republic]<br/>[http://maps.navit-project.org/api/map/?bbox=33.99,29.8,35.95,33.4 Israel]<br/>[http://maps.navit-project.org/api/map/?bbox=110.5,-44.2,154.9,-9.2 Australia]<br/>[http://maps.navit-project.org/api/map/?bbox=165.2,-47.6,179.1,-33.7 New Zealand]<br/>[http://maps.navit-project.org/api/map/?bbox=15.6,-35.2,33.3,-21.9 South Africa]<br/> <br/>''Note I (PreRunr) have found that small is better (faster processing) and that the Cloudmade maps can have problems so use the extractor version FIRST.'' <br />
# Put the *.bin file into the folder appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps on the USB drive of your Pre.<br />
# To switch between the three skins you need to open the navit.xml in appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/ . At the bottom you find the section where the skin is included. Remove the comment markers from the skin you plan to use and add them to the current skin.<br />
# Try it out!<br />
# Multiple maps. Using *.bin will not actually grab multiple map files but actually grab just the FIRST map file in the directory. Note that *.bin still does have it's use... If you are using just a single map file in a single directory then whenever you downoad an updated map file you can place it into the directory and not have to worry about modifying the navit.xml file with the new map name. Just remember to delete your old map file from the directory. To specify multiple map files you will have to add multiple lines to the navit.xml file with the file name for each map, switch between them via the settings/maps onscreen menu. Extra maps may be for your holiday trips to Hawaii allowing you to set up bookmarks in advance using the instructions here. Having the Garmin BaseMap in your mapset allows you to see the whole world when you zoom out.<br />
To do this you need to add the mapset this way:<br />
<mapset enabled="yes"><br />
<map type="binfile" enabled="yes" active="yes" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/osm/Australia.navit.bin"/><br />
<map type="binfile" enabled="yes" active="no" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/osm/Hawaii.navit.bin"/><br />

# The zip file contains a navit ipk, a espeak ipk and some locale ipks. The easy way to install is by using WebOSQuickInstall found here http://forums.precentral.net/canuck-software/228310-webos-quick-install-v3-14-a.html . Note Preware install method is not yet available, its promised in the future once the Palm PDK is officially released. If you have old versions of navit and espeak then use Preware or WebOSQuickInstall to delete them, although the locale ipk could be left alone.<br />
# You need to install at least the navit and the espeak ipk. You will see an Icon for both Navit and espeak (press it first and you get a speech to confirm it works!)<br />
# The default of the Navit menus and speak output is English. To get a other local language working you need to install the locale ipk for your lang/county. I made some small once with only one lang_COUNTRY combination and one big with all I have. Only use the all one if you can not find a matching other, as the installed size is about 64MB for the all one. ONLY INSTALL ONE LOCAL IPK AT THE TIME!!!!!! '''At the moment there is a bug when you remove an locale ipk. One symbolic link is not removed.

<br />
== Using Map&Guide maps ==<br />
<br />
For all Europe uses. You can get a good Mapset from Amazon for 5 Euro => [http://www.amazon.de/Marco-Polo-Gro%C3%9Fer-Reiseplaner-DVD-ROM/dp/3829731426/ Marco Polo Großer Reiseplaner 2007/2008 (DVD-ROM) auf Amazon.de]<br />
<br />
The disadvantage is that the complete map is 3GB, if you only take Germany and the Major roots of Europe it is still 1GB.<br />
<br />
'''For Linux'''<br />
# Change directory to where DVD is mounted<br />
# Unpack data2.cab with: unshield x travel/data2.cab <br />
# Now, you should get a directory named like DIRLAN_GER.<br />
# Inside you find the maps...<br />
'''For Windows'''<br />
# Install the appliaction<br />
# you find the maps in a folder inside the program folder.<br />
<br />
'''Installing the maps'''<br />
# The dem.map folder with all the majors roads and towns of Europe...<br />
# ...and five smpX.smp folders, which contain the details of countries:<br />
* smp1: DK,S,N,IS,FIN,N<br />
* smp2: F,E,GBZ,P,AND,MC<br />
* smp3: Germany<br />
* smp4: CZ,SK,RSM,EST,GEO,LV,LT,MD,RUS,UA,BY,GR,H,I,RO,CH,A,PL,AL,MT,CY,BG,FL,SRB,MNE,HR,SLO,BIH,MK,TR,AZ,AM,V<br />
* smp5: NL,B,GB,L,IRL <br />
# copy the dem.map folder into a place on your hard drive<br />
# remove all *d60* files from the dem.map folder<br />
# copy the dem.map folder into /MaypsNavit on you usb drive<br />
# copy the smpX.smp folder you need into /MaypsNavit/dem.map folder<br />
# open appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/navit.xml and change the following:<br />
<mapset enabled="yes"><br />
<map type="binfile" enabled="yes" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/*.bin"/><br />
</mapset><br />
to <br />
<mapset enabled="yes"><br />
<map type="binfile" enabled="yes" active="yes" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/osm/*.bin"/><br />
<map type="mg" enabled="yes" active="no" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/dem.map" /><br />
<map type="mg" enabled="yes" active="no" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/dem.map/smp3.smp" /><br />
</mapset><br />
<br />
Now you can switch between the OSM and the M&G maps from the settings/maps menu inside of Navit. The OSM map is the default. To make M&G the default you need to invert the active switches.<br />
<br />
I would expect the the Map&Guide maps for other countries will also work. But you need to find a cheep Product that contains them.<br />
<br />
If you have the m&g and the OSM maps on your USB drive then you can use the index from the m&g maps for searching and the OSM maps for routing and display. To do this you need to add the mapset this way:<br />
<mapset enabled="yes"><br />
<map type="mg" enabled="yes" active="no" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/dem.map/smp3.smp" /><br />
<map type="mg" enabled="yes" active="no" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/dem.map" /><br />
<map type="binfile" enabled="yes" active="yes" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/osm/*.bin"/><br />
</mapset><br />
It looks like Navit uses the street index of the first enabled map even if it is not active.<br />
<br />
== Changing the display of POI (Points of interest) symbols ==<br />
<br />
you can switch every POI symbol off and on, but there is no Menu function to do it. Connect your Pre in USB Mode and open "appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/navit_layout.xml".<br />
<br />
'''Make a backup of the file before you start and be careful. Navit will not start if you mess up the file !!!'''<br />
<br />
This file defines the different layouts that you can select (Car, Car-dark, bike and T@M). Every layout starts with a line like this:<br />
<br />
<layout name="Car" nightlayout="Car-dark" color="#ffefb7" font="Prelude"><br />
.<br />
.<br />
.<br />
</layout><br />
<br />
If you scroll down in the layout you will find the POI definitions. It starts with the line:<br />
<br />
<layer name="POI Symbols"><br />
<br />
For every defined POI symbole you find the following three lines:<br />
<br />
<itemgra item_types="poi_hotel" order="12-"><br />
<icon src="hotel.png"/><br />
</itemgra><br />
<br />
to switch the POI of simply remove the three lines or change them to<br />
<pre><br />
<!-- <itemgra item_types="poi_hotel" order="12-"><br />
<icon src="hotel.png"/><br />
</itemgra> <br />
--><br />
</pre><br />
Then you can switch them on later if you like.<br />
<br />
Navit loads the first layout that is defined in this file on startup. If you like to have a other layout you will need to move it to the beginning of the file. You can find more documentation in the navit_layout.xml file. The current version can be found in the git repository => http://git.webos-internals.org/?p=preware/cross-compile.git;a=blob;f=packages/apps/navit/files/navit_layout.xml<br />
<br />
<br />
== Understanding ISSUES with OpenStreet Maps ==<br />
<br />
There is a list of issues that first time users keep asking about. These are not WEBOS issues but due to how NAVIT operates with OpenStreet maps. Look at <br />
http://wiki.navit-project.org/index.php/OpenStreetMaps#Problems_with_OSM_and_navit_or_navigation_in_general<br />
Look at the section below called "On how to plan a route" for advice.<br />
<br />
== Why don't I get the new skins we see below? ==<br />
Installation of Navit only copies in the new XML files '''''if the Navit.xml is not there'''''. You need to delete the old ones to get the new. '''''Preware does NOT REMOVE THEM!'''''<br />
<br />
<br />
You find the xml files on the USB drive J: (or another drive X: when your Pre is in USB mode (not charge only mode) depending upon your PC setup.<br />
<br />
Located here J:/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/<br />
<br />
To switch between the three skins shown below you need to open the navit.xml in appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/ . At the bottom you find the section where the skin is included.<br />
Remove the comment markers from the skin you plan to use and add them to the current skin. For example to use < !-- <xi:include href="$NAVIT_USER_DATADIR/navit_gui.xml"/> -- > remove the < !-- and the -- > and ADD the same in front and back of the existing skin, for example <xi:include href="$NAVIT_USER_DATADIR/navit_gui_PreNav.xml"/>. There is NO SPACE between the < and -- and similarly between -- and > in the code. The space appears in this wiki text due to formatting issues.<br />
<br />
== Only as a start. Some images of the current skins: ==<br />
<br />
<br />
Skin PreNav:<br />

<br />
== How to get around the menus v3 (still not complete)''' ==<br />
<br />
''As an aside the screen captures don't work on full screen - sorry.''<br />
<br />
Main screen is seen here before GPS lock <br />
<br />
[[Image:Start_screen.png]] (here the last saved GPS position is used to choose the starting map).<br />
<br />
Press your finger on the screen and "push" the map around to get the desired location (where you are now or where you want to go) right into the centre of the screen (if you want to zoom into a location use the + button). Tap the screen and you will get the Main Menu shown here.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Main_menu.png]]<br />
Since we want to go somewhere tap on Actions.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Actions_menu.png]]<br />
Now you have a choice of the Location at the center of the map screen, the location of the car (no good here as GPS has not locked in), the Location of a saved Bookmark, or searching for a Location in your OSM or other map you have already loaded into your Pre at /media/NavitMaps/. Choosing Town we get this screen.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Town_view.png]]<br />
Now unless you live in the USA you can now enter a town. If not tap on the US flag and you should get this screen.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Town_view2.png]]<br />
Now Type in your country eg Au will give at least two countries to choose from. Select one and you will then get to enter a town, the street and then house. Lots of times this does not work too well as the House numbering is not available. In this case follow instructions below on How to Plan a Route. <br />
Here are some FAQ about searching http://wiki.navit-project.org/index.php/OpenStreetMaps#Search_for_my_town_works.2C_but_I_can.27t_find_my_street<br />
<br />
OK I have told NAVIT that I wish to go to my new destination and now its ready to go. <br />
<br />
<br />
[[Image:Navit_OK_to_drive.png]] <br />
<br />
<br />
It shows the way to go as a BIG FAT BLUE line as well as speaking the directions. If you want to read the directions Chooose Route then Description. The voice reads these out as you go along the route. Now Rod Whitby can guess where I live.<br />
<br />
[[Now you want to change from a CAR to a Pedestrian, Horse or BIKE!]]<br />
<br />
Choose the Main Menu, then choose Settings and you will see this<br />
<br />
[[Image:Settings_menu.png]]<br />
Now choose Vehicle and you will see this<br />
<br />
[[Image:Vehicle_screen.png]]<br />
Now select GPS and you will see your last choice which is shown here as a car.<br />
<br />
[[Image:GPS_screen_car.png]]<br />
Press once on the row Change profile to: pedestrian (for example)<br />
Then at the top of the screen press on VEHICLE. This will get you back to the GPS screen. Now if you select GPS again you will get this screen confirming you are now a pedestrian.<br />
<br />
[[Image:GPS_screen_ped.png]]<br />
Enjoy :-)<br />
<br />
[[Changing Map view (or getting rid of all the POIs)]]<br />
<br />
If you want very few POIs the simplest option is MainMenu>>Settings>>Display>>Layout>>T@H<br />
<br />
[[Image:choose T@H.png]] [[Image:T@H view.png]] <br />
Go back to map and you will see hardly any POIs. <br />
<br />
Helpful notes from vreihen on 18 and 26 May 2010 now follow,<br />
<br />
== On starting up issues ie '''why the map layer isn't loading?''' ==<br />
<br />
<br />
When Navit first starts up, it uses the north pole as it's initial position (if I recall correctly) until it gets an initial GPS fix. Your map layer problem may be that the GPS point is still at the north pole, or perhaps outside of the map that you have installed. If you tap on the center of the screen and tap on actions, there will be an icon of a car and an icon of a globe. The car icon is your current position, and should contain a non-zero latitude and longitude if your GPS is working and has a fix. Verify that those coordinates are where you are located before you dig any deeper into the maps as the cause of the missing layer.<br />
<br />
The information panels at the bottom of the screen are only populated when Navit is navigating between two points. Otherwise, they should be blank.<br />
<br />
If all else fails with the maps, you could download the entire planet.bin if you have 3.5 gigs of free USB flash space in your phone to eliminate the map file as the cause of your problem.....<br />
<br />
== '''On how to plan a route''' ==<br />
<br />
'''OPTION 1 with GPS'''<br />
<br />
1) Scroll through the map until you can see the location that you want to drive to.<br />
<br />
2) Zoom in tight on the screen, if necessary. Tap on your destination on the map.<br />
<br />
3) When Navit opens it's main menu, tap on actions.<br />
<br />
4) The car icon should show your current latitude/longitude. <br />
<br />
5) The globe icon should show the destination latitude/longitude that you tapped on the map.<br />
<br />
6) Tap on the globe icon.<br />
<br />
7) From the menu that pops up, select either bookmark this location (recommended) or navigate to this location.<br />
<br />
8) If you chose to bookmark it, tap actions | bookmarks, then tap your bookmark. Select navigate to this location.<br />
<br />
9) Depending on the distance you asked it to go, Navit should pop up the first driving direction and speak it to you within 5-10 seconds.<br />
<br />
The OSM map data apparently does not contain the concept of a state, so navigating by state/city/street lookup is difficult to impossible. Navigating by bookmark on the map is the only option for the time being.....<br />
<br />
<br />
'''OPTION 2 No GPS needed'''<br />
<br />
The map you see is centred on your last GPS/chosen location. Now you wish to plan a route at another location '''NOT''' on your current map so GPS is not going to work. You will not get a map on the screen for this location until the end of this setup.<br />
<br />
1) Remove all maps except the one that includes the locations you plan to use later. (if you fully understand how maps work in NAVIT this step is not necessary of course but for first timers it makes things simple to diagnose if you have troubles doing these steps.)<br />
<br />
2) Open bookmarks.txt ===== To do the edit go to USB mode, open R:\appdata\org.webosinternals.navit\bookmark.txt with any text editor you like (replace R: with your Drive Letter)<br />
<br />
3) add a new line<br />
<br />
mg: longitude latitude type=bookmark label="Location 1"<br />
<br />
Format is longitude and latitude, both in DD.ddd coordinates. For example Honolulu Stadium is -157.829 21.295, note the need for "-" for W longitude and "-" for S latitude. DD.ddd can have more d's added.<br />
<br />
4) save bookmarks.txt<br />
<br />
5) Start navit and navigate via bookmarks to "Location 1"<br />
<br />
6) If you want to go from place to place just add more bookmarks, suggest arrange them inside a new folder called "My Trip". <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
''' Changing The Starting position'''<br />
<br />
You might want to change the starting position of navit, especially if you are using Navit without a GPS. You can get your coordinates here: http://itouchmap.com/latlong.html<br />
<br />
You can change the starting position in navit.xml, here :<br />
<br />
<navit gui="..." graphics="..." center="4808 N 1134 E" zoom="128" ><br />
<br />
The latitude and longitude are written as multiplied by 100, i.e. you won't see the decimal point. For example, instead of 48.08, enter 4808.<br />
<br />

== Summary ==<br />
<br />
[[Image:Navit_icon.png|50px|left]]<br />
Navit is an open source (GPL) car navigation software for Linux systems. It will display your position on a map (in bird-view mode or as a 3D "visualization") from GPS sensor data, and can provide precise route calculation, touch screen functionality and supports Points of Interest (POI), which can be extended via an easy to use plugin system. Unlike other navigation systems, Navit maps are dynamically generated in real time from vector data. Information about Navit can be found [http://wiki.navit-project.org/index.php/Main_Page on the Navit wiki].<br />
<br />
== Where do you get the latest version of Navit for WebOS 1.4.5 and above ? ==<br />
<br />
There is a bug in the OTA (over the air) update from 1.4.1 to 1.4.5 that prevents Navit from working. To check for the bug open a Terminal or Novaterm and issue this command 'cat /etc/fstab|grep internal'. You should get the following line:<br />
<br />
/dev/mapper/store-media /media/internal vfat utf8,shortname=mixed,umask=0000 0 0<br />
<br />
If your line do not have the 'umask=0000' statement then you need to fix this first as explained here => http://developer.palm.com/distribution/viewtopic.php?p=34750<br />
Thanks to Rod there is now an app in The Preware Testing feed that can do the fix for you => http://forums.precentral.net/showthread.php?p=2556103<br />
<br />
Eine Deutsche Anleitung zum beheben des Problemes ist hier zu finden => http://www.nexave.de/forum/39654-fehler-im-ota-1-4-5-update.html<br />
<br />
# Open Preware. Select available applications. Then type 'Navit' and install as any other WebOS application.<br />
# This will automatically install two other needed packages if you not have installed them. The packages are 'speechd' and 'locale'.<br />
# You settings are migrated if you had installed the Navit Alpha before. Then you can skip step 4-8 the rest.<br />
# Now start Navit. You will see the OSD but no map as this will be installed in the next step. This first start will create the default settings and the empty folder for the map.<br />

# Put the *.bin file into the folder appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps on the USB drive of your Pre.<br />
# To switch between the three skins you need to open the navit.xml in appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/ . At the bottom you find the section where the skin is included. Remove the comment markers from the skin you plan to use and add them to the current skin.<br />
# Try it out!<br />
# Multiple maps. Using *.bin will not actually grab multiple map files but actually grab just the FIRST map file in the directory. Note that *.bin still does have it's use... If you are using just a single map file in a single directory then whenever you downoad an updated map file you can place it into the directory and not have to worry about modifying the navit.xml file with the new map name. Just remember to delete your old map file from the directory. To specify multiple map files you will have to add multiple lines to the navit.xml file with the file name for each map, switch between them via the settings/maps onscreen menu.<br />
To do this you need to add the mapset this way:<br />
<mapset enabled="yes"><br />
<map type="binfile" enabled="yes" active="yes" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/osm/Australia.navit.bin"/><br />
<map type="binfile" enabled="yes" active="no" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/osm/Hawaii.navit.bin"/><br />
<map type="garmin" enabled="yes" active="no" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/garmin/gmapbmap.img"/><br />
</mapset><br />
# Look at appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/navit.log on you USB drive if Navit is not working as expected. If Navit has problems it writes the information into this log file.<br />

== Using Map&Guide maps ==<br />
<br />
For all Europe uses. You can get a good Mapset from Amazon for 5 Euro => [http://www.amazon.de/Marco-Polo-Gro%C3%9Fer-Reiseplaner-DVD-ROM/dp/3829731426/ Marco Polo Großer Reiseplaner 2007/2008 (DVD-ROM) auf Amazon.de]<br />
<br />
The disadvantage is that the complete map is 3GB, if you only take Germany and the Major roots of Europe it is still 1GB.<br />
<br />
'''For Linux'''<br />
# Change directory to where DVD is mounted<br />
# Unpack data2.cab with: unshield x travel/data2.cab <br />
# Now, you should get a directory named like DIRLAN_GER.<br />
# Inside you find the maps...<br />
'''For Windows'''<br />
# Install the appliaction<br />
# you find the maps in a folder inside the program folder.<br />
<br />
'''Installing the maps'''<br />
# The dem.map folder with all the majors roads and towns of Europe...<br />
# ...and five smpX.smp folders, which contain the details of countries:<br />
* smp1: DK,S,N,IS,FIN,N<br />
* smp2: F,E,GBZ,P,AND,MC<br />
* smp3: Germany<br />
* smp4: CZ,SK,RSM,EST,GEO,LV,LT,MD,RUS,UA,BY,GR,H,I,RO,CH,A,PL,AL,MT,CY,BG,FL,SRB,MNE,HR,SLO,BIH,MK,TR,AZ,AM,V<br />
* smp5: NL,B,GB,L,IRL <br />
# copy the dem.map folder into a place on your hard drive<br />
# remove all *d60* files from the dem.map folder<br />
# copy the dem.map folder into /MaypsNavit on you usb drive<br />
# copy the smpX.smp folder you need into /MaypsNavit/dem.map folder<br />
# open appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/navit.xml and change the following:<br />
<mapset enabled="yes"><br />
<map type="binfile" enabled="yes" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/*.bin"/><br />
</mapset><br />
to <br />
<mapset enabled="yes"><br />
<map type="binfile" enabled="yes" active="yes" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/osm/*.bin"/><br />
<map type="mg" enabled="yes" active="no" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/dem.map" /><br />
<map type="mg" enabled="yes" active="no" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/dem.map/smp3.smp" /><br />
</mapset><br />
<br />
Now you can switch between the OSM and the M&G maps from the settings/maps menu inside of Navit. The OSM map is the default. To make M&G the default you need to invert the active switches.<br />
<br />
I would expect the the Map&Guide maps for other countries will also work. But you need to find a cheep Product that contains them.<br />
<br />
If you have the m&g and the OSM maps on your USB drive then you can use the index from the m&g maps for searching and the OSM maps for routing and display. To do this you need to add the mapset this way:<br />
<mapset enabled="yes"><br />
<map type="mg" enabled="yes" active="no" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/dem.map/smp3.smp" /><br />
<map type="mg" enabled="yes" active="no" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/dem.map" /><br />
<map type="binfile" enabled="yes" active="yes" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/osm/*.bin"/><br />
</mapset><br />
It looks like Navit uses the street index of the first enabled map even if it is not active.<br />
<br />
== Changing the display of POI (Points of interest) symbols ==<br />
<br />
you can switch every POI symbol off and on, but there is no Menu function to do it. Connect your Pre in USB Mode and open "appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/navit_layout.xml".<br />
<br />
'''Make a backup of the file before you start and be careful. Navit will not start if you mess up the file !!!'''<br />
<br />
This file defines the different layouts that you can select (Car, Car-dark, bike and T@M). Every layout starts with a line like this:<br />
<br />
<layout name="Car" nightlayout="Car-dark" color="#ffefb7" font="Prelude"><br />
.<br />
.<br />
.<br />
</layout><br />
<br />
If you scroll down in the layout you will find the POI definitions. It starts with the line:<br />
<br />
<layer name="POI Symbols"><br />
<br />
For every defined POI symbole you find the following three lines:<br />
<br />
<itemgra item_types="poi_hotel" order="12-"><br />
<icon src="hotel.png"/><br />
</itemgra><br />
<br />
to switch the POI of simply remove the three lines or change them to<br />
<pre><br />
<!-- <itemgra item_types="poi_hotel" order="12-"><br />
<icon src="hotel.png"/><br />
</itemgra> <br />
--><br />
</pre><br />
Then you can switch them on later if you like.<br />
<br />
Navit loads the first layout that is defined in this file on startup. If you like to have a other layout you will need to move it to the beginning of the file. You can find more documentation in the navit_layout.xml file. The current version can be found in the git repository => http://git.webos-internals.org/?p=preware/cross-compile.git;a=blob;f=packages/apps/navit/files/navit_layout.xml<br />
<br />
<br />
== Understanding ISSUES with OpenStreet Maps ==<br />
<br />
There is a list of issues that first time users keep asking about. These are not WEBOS issues but due to how NAVIT operates with OpenStreet maps. Look at <br />
http://wiki.navit-project.org/index.php/OpenStreetMaps#Problems_with_OSM_and_navit_or_navigation_in_general<br />
Look at the section below called "On how to plan a route" for advice.<br />
<br />
== Why don't I get the new skins we see below? ==<br />
Installation of Navit only copies in the new XML files '''''if the Navit.xml is not there'''''. You need to delete the old ones to get the new. '''''Preware does NOT REMOVE THEM!'''''<br />
<br />
<br />
You find the xml files on the USB drive J: (or another drive X: when your Pre is in USB mode (not charge only mode) depending upon your PC setup.<br />
<br />
Located here J:/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/<br />
<br />
To switch between the three skins shown below you need to open the navit.xml in appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/ . At the bottom you find the section where the skin is included.<br />
Remove the comment markers from the skin you plan to use and add them to the current skin. For example to use < !-- <xi:include href="$NAVIT_USER_DATADIR/navit_gui.xml"/> -- > remove the < !-- and the -- > and ADD the same in front and back of the existing skin, for example <xi:include href="$NAVIT_USER_DATADIR/navit_gui_PreNav.xml"/>. There is NO SPACE between the < and -- and similarly between -- and > in the code. The space appears in this wiki text due to formatting issues.<br />
<br />
== Only as a start. Some images of the current skins: ==<br />
<br />
<br />

== How to get around the menus v3 (still not complete)''' ==<br />
<br />
''As an aside the screen captures don't work on full screen - sorry.''<br />
<br />
Main screen is seen here before GPS lock <br />
<br />
[[Image:Start_screen.png]] (here the last saved GPS position is used to choose the starting map).<br />
<br />
Press your finger on the screen and "push" the map around to get the desired location (where you are now or where you want to go) right into the centre of the screen (if you want to zoom into a location use the + button). Tap the screen and you will get the Main Menu shown here.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Main_menu.png]]<br />
Since we want to go somewhere tap on Actions.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Actions_menu.png]]<br />
Now you have a choice of the Location at the center of the map screen, the location of the car (no good here as GPS has not locked in), the Location of a saved Bookmark, or searching for a Location in your OSM or other map you have already loaded into your Pre at /media/NavitMaps/. Choosing Town we get this screen.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Town_view.png]]<br />
Now unless you live in the USA you can now enter a town. If not tap on the US flag and you should get this screen.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Town_view2.png]]<br />
Now Type in your country eg Au will give at least two countries to choose from. Select one and you will then get to enter a town, the street and then house. Lots of times this does not work too well as the House numbering is not available. In this case follow instructions below on How to Plan a Route. <br />
Here are some FAQ about searching http://wiki.navit-project.org/index.php/OpenStreetMaps#Search_for_my_town_works.2C_but_I_can.27t_find_my_street<br />
<br />
OK I have told NAVIT that I wish to go to my new destination and now its ready to go. <br />
<br />
<br />
[[Image:Navit_OK_to_drive.png]] <br />
<br />
<br />
It shows the way to go as a BIG FAT BLUE line as well as speaking the directions. If you want to read the directions Chooose Route then Description. The voice reads these out as you go along the route. Now Rod Whitby can guess where I live.<br />
<br />
[[Now you want to change from a CAR to a Pedestrian, Horse or BIKE!]]<br />
<br />
Choose the Main Menu, then choose Settings and you will see this<br />
<br />
[[Image:Settings_menu.png]]<br />
Now choose Vehicle and you will see this<br />
<br />
[[Image:Vehicle_screen.png]]<br />
Now select GPS and you will see your last choice which is shown here as a car.<br />
<br />
[[Image:GPS_screen_car.png]]<br />
Press once on the row Change profile to: pedestrian (for example)<br />
Then at the top of the screen press on VEHICLE. This will get you back to the GPS screen. Now if you select GPS again you will get this screen confirming you are now a pedestrian.<br />
<br />
[[Image:GPS_screen_ped.png]]<br />
Enjoy :-)<br />
<br />
[[Changing Map view (or getting rid of all the POIs)]]<br />
<br />
If you want very few POIs the simplest option is MainMenu>>Settings>>Display>>Layout>>T@H<br />
<br />
[[Image:choose T@H.png]] [[Image:T@H view.png]] <br />
Go back to map and you will see hardly any POIs. <br />
<br />
Helpful notes from vreihen on 18 and 26 May 2010 now follow,<br />
<br />
== On starting up issues ie '''why the map layer isn't loading?''' ==<br />
<br />
<br />
When Navit first starts up, it uses the north pole as it's initial position (if I recall correctly) until it gets an initial GPS fix. Your map layer problem may be that the GPS point is still at the north pole, or perhaps outside of the map that you have installed. If you tap on the center of the screen and tap on actions, there will be an icon of a car and an icon of a globe. The car icon is your current position, and should contain a non-zero latitude and longitude if your GPS is working and has a fix. Verify that those coordinates are where you are located before you dig any deeper into the maps as the cause of the missing layer.<br />
<br />
The information panels at the bottom of the screen are only populated when Navit is navigating between two points. Otherwise, they should be blank.<br />
<br />
If all else fails with the maps, you could download the entire planet.bin if you have 3.5 gigs of free USB flash space in your phone to eliminate the map file as the cause of your problem.....<br />
<br />
== '''On how to plan a route''' ==<br />
<br />
'''OPTION 1 with GPS'''<br />
<br />
1) Scroll through the map until you can see the location that you want to drive to.<br />
<br />
2) Zoom in tight on the screen, if necessary. Tap on your destination on the map.<br />
<br />
3) When Navit opens it's main menu, tap on actions.<br />
<br />
4) The car icon should show your current latitude/longitude. <br />
<br />
5) The globe icon should show the destination latitude/longitude that you tapped on the map.<br />
<br />
6) Tap on the globe icon.<br />
<br />
7) From the menu that pops up, select either bookmark this location (recommended) or navigate to this location.<br />
<br />
8) If you chose to bookmark it, tap actions | bookmarks, then tap your bookmark. Select navigate to this location.<br />
<br />
9) Depending on the distance you asked it to go, Navit should pop up the first driving direction and speak it to you within 5-10 seconds.<br />
<br />
The OSM map data apparently does not contain the concept of a state, so navigating by state/city/street lookup is difficult to impossible. Navigating by bookmark on the map is the only option for the time being.....<br />
<br />
<br />
'''OPTION 2 No GPS needed'''<br />
<br />
The map you see is centred on your last GPS/chosen location. Now you wish to plan a route at another location '''NOT''' on your current map so GPS is not going to work. You will not get a map on the screen for this location until the end of this setup.<br />
<br />
1) Remove all maps except the one that includes the locations you plan to use later. (if you fully understand how maps work in NAVIT this step is not necessary of course but for first timers it makes things simple to diagnose if you have troubles doing these steps.)<br />
<br />
2) Open bookmarks.txt ===== To do the edit go to USB mode, open R:\appdata\org.webosinternals.navit\bookmark.txt with any text editor you like (replace R: with your Drive Letter)<br />
<br />
3) add a new line<br />
<br />
mg: longitude latitude type=bookmark label="Location 1"<br />
<br />
Format is longitude and latitude, both in DD.ddd coordinates. For example Honolulu Stadium is -157.829 21.295, note the need for "-" for W longitude and "-" for S latitude. DD.ddd can have more d's added.<br />
<br />
4) save bookmarks.txt<br />
<br />
5) Start navit and navigate via bookmarks to "Location 1"<br />
<br />
6) If you want to go from place to place just add more bookmarks, suggest arrange them inside a new folder called "My Trip". <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
''' Changing The Starting position'''<br />
<br />
You might want to change the starting position of navit, especially if you are using Navit without a GPS. You can get your coordinates here: http://itouchmap.com/latlong.html<br />
<br />
You can change the starting position in navit.xml, here :<br />
<br />
<navit gui="..." graphics="..." center="4808 N 1134 E" zoom="128" ><br />
<br />
The latitude and longitude are written as multiplied by 100, i.e. you won't see the decimal point. For example, instead of 48.08, enter 4808.<br />
<br />

<div>[[Category: SDL]]<br />
Palm's binary sdk the "Plugin Developer Kit" became available to all developers in March 2010.<br />
<br />
In addition to the PDK, WebOS Internals has released a full "WIDK" (WebOS Internals Development Kit) for you using Scratchbox2. <br />
<br />
We ''strongly'' urge the community to standardize on this WIDK. It uses the same underlying technologies, and is entirely open. <br />
<br />
Scratchbox 2 is a cross-compilation engine, it can be used to create a highly flexible SDK.<br />
<br />
As installed below, the install process uses a script which extracts the required Palm provided files from a copy of webos doctor, and downloads from other sources, and builds a complete compilation environment automatically which can compile SDL and openGLES apps for webOS. <br />
<br />
SB2 ''itself'' is totally distribution neutral but the webOS cross-compile environment is designed and tested on Ubuntu 9.10 32 bit. (At least one user in #webos-internals reports complete success running the cross compile environment in Ubuntu 9.10 64 bit after installing curl via apt-get.) See [[WebOS_Internals_PDK_on_Mandriva]] if you want to run it on Mandriva and are willing to support that yourself and not ask WebOS Internals any questions about it. Otherwise, use the recommended OS.<br />
<br />
The webOS Internals team ''strongly suggest'' apt-get install into that environment only for this purpose. The same installation of Sun Virtualbox which hosts the Palm SDK emulator can host an Ubuntu 9.10 server with very little effort. <br />
<br />
Developers wanting to work in an open environment 'without' SB2 can consider using the [[PuffTheMagic NDK]].<br />

If setting up in a Virtual Box instance, it is recommended that you first complete the openSSH config as described in the VirtualBox tips for Windows users to the right. This is helpful even with a Linux host, as SSH into the PDK Virtual Machine will allow copy and paste of the commands listed below and reduce errors.<br />

<br />
'''Note:''' If you are a beginner with Ubuntu Linux Distribution, you should update all the packages on your system to avoid problems when you will compile.<BR><br />
Use these 2 command line :<BR><br />
Update repositories :<br />
sudo aptitude update<br />
And next, update the packages :<br />
sudo aptitude safe-upgrade<br />
<br />
If you're on a 64-bit system, you will also need to install the ia32-libs package.<br />
<br />
'''Note:''' The ''make toolchain'' command and later steps will download approximately a half-gig of tools and sources from various locations. Do not start this if you do not have time for a large download. Additionally, if you already have downloaded a copy of the correct version of the WebOS doctor, you can reduce the download time by copying the doctor file into cross-compile/doctors/ with the correct name. This will cause the appropriate command to skip that download. Note that codesourcery rate limts downloads and at a minimum this process will take 10 to 15 minutes irrespective of your connection speed. <br />
<br />
====Start setup====<br />
Create a preware folder, copy the cross-compile tools into it (if you have not installed git, apt-get install git-core), and use a make script to begin the set up of the compilation toolchain. <br />
<br />
sudo mkdir -p /srv/preware<br />
cd /srv/preware<br />
sudo chmod 777 .<br />
git clone git://git.webos-internals.org/preware/cross-compile.git<br />
cd cross-compile<br />
make toolchain<br />
<br />
====Fix mmap errors====<br />
The following commands appear redundant. They are not. The install this fixes your mmap config to fix an mmap: permission denied error, but we don't need the package itself. (Do each command separately with cut and paste).<br />
<br />
sudo apt-get install qemu-arm-static<br />
sudo apt-get remove qemu-arm-static<br />
<br />
: <span style="font-size:150%">OR</span> As a workaround, if this package is not available, <br />
::: the following commands can be executed in a root shell (sudo -s) to fix the mmap configuration to enable qemu-arm to work.<br />
<br />
echo "vm.mmap_min_addr = 4096" > /etc/sysctl.d/mmap_min_addr.conf<br />
/etc/init.d/procps restart<br />
<br />
(note that the value should not be "0". 4096 is chosen to avoid null pointer attacks.)<br />
<br />
====Verify sh shell====<br />
On Ubuntu /bin/sh is a symbolic link to dash. This will cause errors with the make stage command below, as some of the scripts assume bash. Run the following command to see what shell sh is linked to.<br />
<br />
ls -l /bin/sh<br />
<br />
If the result is a link to dash:<br />
<br />
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 2010-07-06 23:55 /bin/sh -> dash<br />
<br />
You will want to correct it with the following:<br />
<br />
sudo dpkg-reconfigure dash<br />
<br />
You will be asked if you want to "Install dash as /bin/sh?". Select "<No>" and bash will be used. Rerun the command to verify:<br />
<br />
ls -l /bin/sh<br />
<br />
You should now see:<br />
<br />
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 2010-07-09 21:12 /bin/sh -> bash<br />
<br />
====Setup Scratchbox====<br />
Now, use apt-get to setup scratchbox...<br />
<br />
sudo apt-get install scratchbox2 qemu-kvm-extras<br />
<br />
...and set it up for compiling for webOS. <br />
<br />
cd /srv/preware/cross-compile/toolchain/arm-2007q3/arm-none-linux-gnueabi/libc<br />
PATH=/srv/preware/cross-compile/toolchain/arm-2007q3/bin:${PATH} sb2-init -c /usr/bin/qemu-arm armv7 arm-none-linux-gnueabi-gcc<br />
cd /srv/preware/cross-compile<br />
<br />
Then:<br />
<br />
make stage<br />
<br />
Once this setup is complete, compiling sdl apps for webOS is very simple.<br />
<br />

It just doesn't work tried for over a week, with fresh Ubuntu 10.4 inside and outside of virtual box, fails on libtool for common/fuse/. Tried -j4 option with make stage, tried make staging-armv7. Also installed automake-1.9 after seeing complaints about that.<br />

===/bin/sh errors===<br />
If you are getting a "bad fd number" or other /bin/sh error, make sure your /bin/sh points to bash, not another shell (such as dash.)<br />

<br />
== Summary ==<br />
<br />
[[Image:Navit_icon.png|50px|left]]<br />
Navit is an open source (GPL) car navigation software for Linux systems. It will display your position on a map (in bird-view mode or as a 3D "visualization") from GPS sensor data, and can provide precise route calculation, touch screen functionality and supports Points of Interest (POI), which can be extended via an easy to use plugin system. Unlike other navigation systems, Navit maps are dynamically generated in real time from vector data. Information about Navit can be found [http://wiki.navit-project.org/index.php/Main_Page on the Navit wiki].<br />
<br />
== Where do you get the latest version of Navit for WebOS 1.4.5 and above ? ==<br />
<br />
There is a bug in the OTA (over the air) update from 1.4.1 to 1.4.5 that prevents Navit from working. To check for the bug open a Terminal or Novaterm and issue this command 'cat /etc/fstab|grep internal'. You should get the following line:<br />
<br />
/dev/mapper/store-media /media/internal vfat utf8,shortname=mixed,umask=0000 0 0<br />
<br />
If your line do not have the 'umask=0000' statement then you need to fix this first as explained here => http://developer.palm.com/distribution/viewtopic.php?p=34750<br />
Thanks to Rod there is now an app in The Preware Testing feed that can do the fix for you => http://forums.precentral.net/showthread.php?p=2556103<br />
<br />
Eine Deutsche Anleitung zum beheben des Problemes ist hier zu finden => http://www.nexave.de/forum/39654-fehler-im-ota-1-4-5-update.html<br />
<br />
# Open Preware. Select available applications. Then type 'Navit' and install as any other WebOS application.<br />
# This will automatically install two other needed packages if you not have installed them. The packages are 'speechd' and 'locale'.<br />
# You settings are migrated if you had installed the Navit Alpha before. Then you can skip step 4-8 the rest.<br />
# Now start Navit. You will see the OSD but no map as this will be installed in the next step. This first start will create the default settings and the empty folder for the map.<br />

# Put the *.bin file into the folder appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps on the USB drive of your Pre.<br />
# To switch between the three skins you need to open the navit.xml in appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/ . At the bottom you find the section where the skin is included. Remove the comment markers from the skin you plan to use and add them to the current skin.<br />
# Try it out!<br />
# Multiple maps. Using *.bin will not actually grab multiple map files but actually grab just the FIRST map file in the directory. Note that *.bin still does have it's use... If you are using just a single map file in a single directory then whenever you downoad an updated map file you can place it into the directory and not have to worry about modifying the navit.xml file with the new map name. Just remember to delete your old map file from the directory. To specify multiple map files you will have to add multiple lines to the navit.xml file with the file name for each map, switch between them via the settings/maps onscreen menu.<br />
To do this you need to add the mapset this way:<br />
<mapset enabled="yes"><br />
<map type="binfile" enabled="yes" active="yes" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/osm/Australia.navit.bin"/><br />
<map type="binfile" enabled="yes" active="no" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/osm/Hawaii.navit.bin"/><br />
<map type="garmin" enabled="yes" active="no" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/garmin/gmapbmap.img"/><br />
</mapset><br />
# Look at appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/navit.log on you USB drive if Navit is not working as expected. If Navit has problems it writes the information into this log file.<br />

== Using Map&Guide maps ==<br />
<br />
For all Europe uses. You can get a good Mapset from Amazon for 5 Euro => [http://www.amazon.de/Marco-Polo-Gro%C3%9Fer-Reiseplaner-DVD-ROM/dp/3829731426/ Marco Polo Großer Reiseplaner 2007/2008 (DVD-ROM) auf Amazon.de]<br />
<br />
The disadvantage is that the complete map is 3GB, if you only take Germany and the Major roots of Europe it is still 1GB.<br />
<br />
'''For Linux'''<br />
# Change directory to where DVD is mounted<br />
# Unpack data2.cab with: unshield x travel/data2.cab <br />
# Now, you should get a directory named like DIRLAN_GER.<br />
# Inside you find the maps...<br />
'''For Windows'''<br />
# Install the appliaction<br />
# you find the maps in a folder inside the program folder.<br />
<br />
'''Installing the maps'''<br />
# The dem.map folder with all the majors roads and towns of Europe...<br />
# ...and five smpX.smp folders, which contain the details of countries:<br />
* smp1: DK,S,N,IS,FIN,N<br />
* smp2: F,E,GBZ,P,AND,MC<br />
* smp3: Germany<br />
* smp4: CZ,SK,RSM,EST,GEO,LV,LT,MD,RUS,UA,BY,GR,H,I,RO,CH,A,PL,AL,MT,CY,BG,FL,SRB,MNE,HR,SLO,BIH,MK,TR,AZ,AM,V<br />
* smp5: NL,B,GB,L,IRL <br />
# copy the dem.map folder into a place on your hard drive<br />
# remove all *d60* files from the dem.map folder<br />
# copy the dem.map folder into /MaypsNavit on you usb drive<br />
# copy the smpX.smp folder you need into /MaypsNavit/dem.map folder<br />
# open appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/navit.xml and change the following:<br />
<mapset enabled="yes"><br />
<map type="binfile" enabled="yes" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/*.bin"/><br />
</mapset><br />
to <br />
<mapset enabled="yes"><br />
<map type="binfile" enabled="yes" active="yes" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/osm/*.bin"/><br />
<map type="mg" enabled="yes" active="no" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/dem.map" /><br />
<map type="mg" enabled="yes" active="no" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/dem.map/smp3.smp" /><br />
</mapset><br />
<br />
Now you can switch between the OSM and the M&G maps from the settings/maps menu inside of Navit. The OSM map is the default. To make M&G the default you need to invert the active switches.<br />
<br />
I would expect the the Map&Guide maps for other countries will also work. But you need to find a cheep Product that contains them.<br />
<br />
If you have the m&g and the OSM maps on your USB drive then you can use the index from the m&g maps for searching and the OSM maps for routing and display. To do this you need to add the mapset this way:<br />
<mapset enabled="yes"><br />
<map type="mg" enabled="yes" active="no" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/dem.map/smp3.smp" /><br />
<map type="mg" enabled="yes" active="no" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/dem.map" /><br />
<map type="binfile" enabled="yes" active="yes" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/osm/*.bin"/><br />
</mapset><br />
It looks like Navit uses the street index of the first enabled map even if it is not active.<br />
<br />
== Changing the display of POI (Points of interest) symbols ==<br />
<br />
you can switch every POI symbol off and on, but there is no Menu function to do it. Connect your Pre in USB Mode and open "appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/navit_layout.xml".<br />
<br />
'''Make a backup of the file before you start and be careful. Navit will not start if you mess up the file !!!'''<br />
<br />
This file defines the different layouts that you can select (Car, Car-dark, bike and T@M). Every layout starts with a line like this:<br />
<br />
<layout name="Car" nightlayout="Car-dark" color="#ffefb7" font="Prelude"><br />
.<br />
.<br />
.<br />
</layout><br />
<br />
If you scroll down in the layout you will find the POI definitions. It starts with the line:<br />
<br />
<layer name="POI Symbols"><br />
<br />
For every defined POI symbole you find the following three lines:<br />
<br />
<itemgra item_types="poi_hotel" order="12-"><br />
<icon src="hotel.png"/><br />
</itemgra><br />
<br />
to switch the POI of simply remove the three lines or change them to<br />
<pre><br />
<!-- <itemgra item_types="poi_hotel" order="12-"><br />
<icon src="hotel.png"/><br />
</itemgra> <br />
--><br />
</pre><br />
Then you can switch them on later if you like.<br />
<br />
Navit loads the first layout that is defined in this file on startup. If you like to have a other layout you will need to move it to the beginning of the file. You can find more documentation in the navit_layout.xml file. The current version can be found in the git repository => http://git.webos-internals.org/?p=preware/cross-compile.git;a=blob;f=packages/apps/navit/files/navit_layout.xml<br />
<br />
<br />
== Understanding ISSUES with OpenStreet Maps ==<br />
<br />
There is a list of issues that first time users keep asking about. These are not WEBOS issues but due to how NAVIT operates with OpenStreet maps. Look at <br />
http://wiki.navit-project.org/index.php/OpenStreetMaps#Problems_with_OSM_and_navit_or_navigation_in_general<br />
Look at the section below called "On how to plan a route" for advice.<br />
<br />
== Why don't I get the new skins we see below? ==<br />
Installation of Navit only copies in the new XML files '''''if the Navit.xml is not there'''''. You need to delete the old ones to get the new. '''''Preware does NOT REMOVE THEM!'''''<br />
<br />
<br />
You find the xml files on the USB drive J: (or another drive X: when your Pre is in USB mode (not charge only mode) depending upon your PC setup.<br />
<br />
Located here J:/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/<br />
<br />
To switch between the three skins shown below you need to open the navit.xml in appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/ . At the bottom you find the section where the skin is included.<br />
Remove the comment markers from the skin you plan to use and add them to the current skin. For example to use < !-- <xi:include href="$NAVIT_USER_DATADIR/navit_gui.xml"/> -- > remove the < !-- and the -- > and ADD the same in front and back of the existing skin, for example <xi:include href="$NAVIT_USER_DATADIR/navit_gui_PreNav.xml"/>. There is NO SPACE between the < and -- and similarly between -- and > in the code. The space appears in this wiki text due to formatting issues.<br />
<br />
== Only as a start. Some images of the current skins: ==<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
== How to get around the menus v3 (still not complete)''' ==<br />
<br />
''As an aside the screen captures don't work on full screen - sorry.''<br />
<br />
Main screen is seen here before GPS lock <br />
<br />
[[Image:Start_screen.png]] (here the last saved GPS position is used to choose the starting map).<br />
<br />
Press your finger on the screen and "push" the map around to get the desired location (where you are now or where you want to go) right into the centre of the screen (if you want to zoom into a location use the + button). Tap the screen and you will get the Main Menu shown here.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Main_menu.png]]<br />
Since we want to go somewhere tap on Actions.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Actions_menu.png]]<br />
Now you have a choice of the Location at the center of the map screen, the location of the car (no good here as GPS has not locked in), the Location of a saved Bookmark, or searching for a Location in your OSM or other map you have already loaded into your Pre at /media/NavitMaps/. Choosing Town we get this screen.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Town_view.png]]<br />
Now unless you live in the USA you can now enter a town. If not tap on the US flag and you should get this screen.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Town_view2.png]]<br />
Now Type in your country eg Au will give at least two countries to choose from. Select one and you will then get to enter a town, the street and then house. Lots of times this does not work too well as the House numbering is not available. In this case follow instructions below on How to Plan a Route. <br />
Here are some FAQ about searching http://wiki.navit-project.org/index.php/OpenStreetMaps#Search_for_my_town_works.2C_but_I_can.27t_find_my_street<br />
<br />
OK I have told NAVIT that I wish to go to my new destination and now its ready to go. <br />
<br />
<br />
[[Image:Navit_OK_to_drive.png]] <br />
<br />
<br />
It shows the way to go as a BIG FAT BLUE line as well as speaking the directions. If you want to read the directions Chooose Route then Description. The voice reads these out as you go along the route. Now Rod Whitby can guess where I live.<br />
<br />
[[Now you want to change from a CAR to a Pedestrian, Horse or BIKE!]]<br />
<br />
Choose the Main Menu, then choose Settings and you will see this<br />
<br />
[[Image:Settings_menu.png]]<br />
Now choose Vehicle and you will see this<br />
<br />
[[Image:Vehicle_screen.png]]<br />
Now select GPS and you will see your last choice which is shown here as a car.<br />
<br />
[[Image:GPS_screen_car.png]]<br />
Press once on the row Change profile to: pedestrian (for example)<br />
Then at the top of the screen press on VEHICLE. This will get you back to the GPS screen. Now if you select GPS again you will get this screen confirming you are now a pedestrian.<br />
<br />
[[Image:GPS_screen_ped.png]]<br />
Enjoy :-)<br />
<br />
[[Changing Map view (or getting rid of all the POIs)]]<br />
<br />
If you want very few POIs the simplest option is MainMenu>>Settings>>Display>>Layout>>T@H<br />
<br />
[[Image:choose T@H.png]] [[Image:T@H view.png]] <br />
Go back to map and you will see hardly any POIs. <br />
<br />
Helpful notes from vreihen on 18 and 26 May 2010 now follow,<br />
<br />
== On starting up issues ie '''why the map layer isn't loading?''' ==<br />
<br />
<br />
When Navit first starts up, it uses the north pole as it's initial position (if I recall correctly) until it gets an initial GPS fix. Your map layer problem may be that the GPS point is still at the north pole, or perhaps outside of the map that you have installed. If you tap on the center of the screen and tap on actions, there will be an icon of a car and an icon of a globe. The car icon is your current position, and should contain a non-zero latitude and longitude if your GPS is working and has a fix. Verify that those coordinates are where you are located before you dig any deeper into the maps as the cause of the missing layer.<br />
<br />
The information panels at the bottom of the screen are only populated when Navit is navigating between two points. Otherwise, they should be blank.<br />
<br />
If all else fails with the maps, you could download the entire planet.bin if you have 3.5 gigs of free USB flash space in your phone to eliminate the map file as the cause of your problem.....<br />
<br />
== '''On how to plan a route''' ==<br />
<br />
'''OPTION 1 with GPS'''<br />
<br />
1) Scroll through the map until you can see the location that you want to drive to.<br />
<br />
2) Zoom in tight on the screen, if necessary. Tap on your destination on the map.<br />
<br />
3) When Navit opens it's main menu, tap on actions.<br />
<br />
4) The car icon should show your current latitude/longitude. <br />
<br />
5) The globe icon should show the destination latitude/longitude that you tapped on the map.<br />
<br />
6) Tap on the globe icon.<br />
<br />
7) From the menu that pops up, select either bookmark this location (recommended) or navigate to this location.<br />
<br />
8) If you chose to bookmark it, tap actions | bookmarks, then tap your bookmark. Select navigate to this location.<br />
<br />
9) Depending on the distance you asked it to go, Navit should pop up the first driving direction and speak it to you within 5-10 seconds.<br />
<br />
The OSM map data apparently does not contain the concept of a state, so navigating by state/city/street lookup is difficult to impossible. Navigating by bookmark on the map is the only option for the time being.....<br />
<br />
<br />
'''OPTION 2 No GPS needed'''<br />
<br />
The map you see is centred on your last GPS/chosen location. Now you wish to plan a route at another location '''NOT''' on your current map so GPS is not going to work. You will not get a map on the screen for this location until the end of this setup.<br />
<br />
1) Remove all maps except the one that includes the locations you plan to use later.<br />
<br />
2) Open bookmarks.txt ===== To do the edit go to USB mode, open R:\appdata\org.webosinternals.navit\bookmark.txt with any text editor you like (replace R: with your Drive Letter)<br />
<br />
3) add a new line<br />
<br />
mg: longitude latitude type=bookmark label="Location 1"<br />
<br />
Format is longitude and latitude, both in DD.ddd coordinates. For example Honolulu Stadium is -157.829 21.295, note the need for "-" for W longitude and "-" for S latitude. DD.ddd can have more d's added.<br />
<br />
4) save bookmarks.txt<br />
<br />
5) Start navit and navigate via bookmarks to "Location 1"<br />
<br />
6) If you want to go from place to place just add more bookmarks, suggest arrange them inside a new folder called "My Trip". <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
''' Changing The Starting position'''<br />
<br />
You might want to change the starting position of navit, especially if you are using Navit without a GPS. You can get your coordinates here: http://itouchmap.com/latlong.html<br />
<br />
You can change the starting position in navit.xml, here :<br />
<br />
<navit gui="..." graphics="..." center="4808 N 1134 E" zoom="128" ><br />
<br />
The latitude and longitude are written as multiplied by 100, i.e. you won't see the decimal point. For example, instead of 48.08, enter 4808.<br />
<br />

Navit is an open source (GPL) car navigation software for Linux systems. It will display your position on a map (in bird-view mode or as a 3D "visualization") from GPS sensor data, and can provide precise route calculation, touch screen functionality and supports Points of Interest (POI), which can be extended via an easy to use plugin system. Unlike other navigation systems, Navit maps are dynamically generated in real time from vector data. Information about Navit can be found [http://wiki.navit-project.org/index.php/Main_Page on the Navit wiki].<br />
<br />
== Where do you get the latest version of Navit for WebOS 1.4.5 and above ? ==<br />
<br />
There is a bug in the OTA (over the air) update from 1.4.1 to 1.4.5 that prevents Navit from working. To check for the bug open a Terminal or Novaterm and issue this command 'cat /etc/fstab|grep internal'. You should get the following line:<br />
<br />
/dev/mapper/store-media /media/internal vfat utf8,shortname=mixed,umask=0000 0 0<br />
<br />
If your line do not have the 'umask=0000' statement then you need to fix this first as explained here => http://developer.palm.com/distribution/viewtopic.php?p=34750<br />
Thanks to Rod there is now an app in The Preware Testing feed that can do the fix for you => http://forums.precentral.net/showthread.php?p=2556103<br />
<br />
Eine Deutsche Anleitung zum beheben des Problemes ist hier zu finden => http://www.nexave.de/forum/39654-fehler-im-ota-1-4-5-update.html<br />
<br />
# Open Preware. Select available applications. Then type 'Navit' and install as any other WebOS application.<br />
# This will automatically install two other needed packages if you not have installed them. The packages are 'speechd' and 'locale'.<br />
# You settings are migrated if you had installed the Navit Alpha before. Then you can skip step 4-8 the rest.<br />
# Now start Navit. You will see the OSD but no map as this will be installed in the next step. This first start will create the default settings and the empty folder for the map.<br />
# Quit Navit and connect your Pre to your PC in USB mode.<br />
# You also need a map. Go to http://maps.navit-project.org/download/ and create one of the part of the world you need or look for created maps here => http://wiki.navit-project.org/index.php/OpenStreetMaps or use this direct links:<br/>[http://maps.navit-project.org/api/map/?bbox=-125.4,24.3,-66.5,49.3 USA (except Alaska and Hawaii)]<br/>[http://maps.navit-project.org/api/map/?bbox=-179.5,49.5,-129,71.6 Alaska]<br/>[http://maps.navit-project.org/api/map/?bbox=-161.07,18.49,-154.45,22.85 Hawaii]<br/>[http://maps.navit-project.org/api/map/?bbox=-141.3,41.5,-52.2,70.2 Canada]<br/>[http://maps.navit-project.org/api/map/?bbox=-117.6,14.1,-86.4,32.8 Mexico]<br/>[http://maps.navit-project.org/api/map/?bbox=-9.7,49.6,2.2,61.2 UK]<br/>[http://maps.navit-project.org/api/map/?bbox=-11.17,51.25,-5.23,55.9 Ireland]<br/>[http://maps.navit-project.org/api/map/?bbox=5.18,46.8,15.4,55.6 Germany]<br/>[http://maps.navit-project.org/api/map/?bbox=-5.45,42.0,8.44,51.68 France]<br/>[http://maps.navit-project.org/api/map/?bbox=2.08,48.86,7.78,54.51 Benelux]<br/>[http://maps.navit-project.org/api/map/?bbox=-11.03,34.87,4.61,44.4 Spain and Portugal]<br/>[http://maps.navit-project.org/api/map/?bbox=6.52,36.38,18.96,47.19 Italy]<br/>[http://maps.navit-project.org/api/map/?bbox=7.49,54.33,13.05,57.88 Denmark]<br/>[http://maps.navit-project.org/api/map/?bbox=9.4,46.32,17.21,49.1 Austria]<br/>[http://maps.navit-project.org/api/map/?bbox=5.79,45.74,10.59,47.84 Switzerland]<br/>[http://maps.navit-project.org/api/map/?bbox=11.91,48.48,19.02,51.17 Czech Republic]<br/>[http://maps.navit-project.org/api/map/?bbox=33.99,29.8,35.95,33.4 Israel]<br/>[http://maps.navit-project.org/api/map/?bbox=110.5,-44.2,154.9,-9.2 Australia]<br/>[http://maps.navit-project.org/api/map/?bbox=165.2,-47.6,179.1,-33.7 New Zealand]<br/>[http://maps.navit-project.org/api/map/?bbox=15.6,-35.2,33.3,-21.9 South Africa]<br/> <br/>''Note I (PreRunr) have found that small is better (faster processing) and that the Cloudmade maps can have problems so use the extractor version FIRST.'' <br />
# Put the *.bin file into the folder appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps on the USB drive of your Pre.<br />
# To switch between the three skins you need to open the navit.xml in appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/ . At the bottom you find the section where the skin is included. Remove the comment markers from the skin you plan to use and add them to the current skin.<br />
# Try it out!<br />
# Multiple maps. Using *.bin will not actually grab multiple map files but actually grab just the FIRST map file in the directory. Note that *.bin still does have it's use... If you are using just a single map file in a single directory then whenever you downoad an updated map file you can place it into the directory and not have to worry about modifying the navit.xml file with the new map name. Just remember to delete your old map file from the directory. To specifiy multiple map files you will have to add multiple lines to the navit.xml file with the file name for each map, switch betwwen via the onscreen menu.<br />
To do this you need to add the mapset this way:<br />
<mapset enabled="yes"><br />
<map type="binfile" enabled="yes" active="yes" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/osm/Australia.navit.bin"/><br />
<map type="binfile" enabled="yes" active="no" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/osm/Hawaii.navit.bin"/><br />
<map type="garmin" enabled="yes" active="no" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/garmin/gmapbmap.img"/><br />
</mapset><br />
<br />
# Look at appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/navit.log on you USB drive if Navit is not working as expected. If Navit has problems it writes the information into this log file.<br />

== Using Map&Guide maps ==<br />
<br />
For all Europe uses. You can get a good Mapset from Amazon for 5 Euro => [http://www.amazon.de/Marco-Polo-Gro%C3%9Fer-Reiseplaner-DVD-ROM/dp/3829731426/ Marco Polo Großer Reiseplaner 2007/2008 (DVD-ROM) auf Amazon.de]<br />
<br />
The disadvantage is that the complete map is 3GB, if you only take Germany and the Major roots of Europe it is still 1GB.<br />
<br />
'''For Linux'''<br />
# Change directory to where DVD is mounted<br />
# Unpack data2.cab with: unshield x travel/data2.cab <br />
# Now, you should get a directory named like DIRLAN_GER.<br />
# Inside you find the maps...<br />
'''For Windows'''<br />
# Install the appliaction<br />
# you find the maps in a folder inside the program folder.<br />
<br />
'''Installing the maps'''<br />
# The dem.map folder with all the majors roads and towns of Europe...<br />
# ...and five smpX.smp folders, which contain the details of countries:<br />
* smp1: DK,S,N,IS,FIN,N<br />
* smp2: F,E,GBZ,P,AND,MC<br />
* smp3: Germany<br />
* smp4: CZ,SK,RSM,EST,GEO,LV,LT,MD,RUS,UA,BY,GR,H,I,RO,CH,A,PL,AL,MT,CY,BG,FL,SRB,MNE,HR,SLO,BIH,MK,TR,AZ,AM,V<br />
* smp5: NL,B,GB,L,IRL <br />
# copy the dem.map folder into a place on your hard drive<br />
# remove all *d60* files from the dem.map folder<br />
# copy the dem.map folder into /MaypsNavit on you usb drive<br />
# copy the smpX.smp folder you need into /MaypsNavit/dem.map folder<br />
# open appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/navit.xml and change the following:<br />
<mapset enabled="yes"><br />
<map type="binfile" enabled="yes" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/*.bin"/><br />
</mapset><br />
to <br />
<mapset enabled="yes"><br />
<map type="binfile" enabled="yes" active="yes" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/osm/*.bin"/><br />
<map type="mg" enabled="yes" active="no" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/dem.map" /><br />
<map type="mg" enabled="yes" active="no" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/dem.map/smp3.smp" /><br />
</mapset><br />
<br />
Now you can switch between the OSM and the M&G maps from the settings/maps menu inside of Navit. The OSM map is the default. To make M&G the default you need to invert the active switches.<br />
<br />
I would expect the the Map&Guide maps for other countries will also work. But you need to find a cheep Product that contains them.<br />
<br />
If you have the m&g and the OSM maps on your USB drive then you can use the index from the m&g maps for searching and the OSM maps for routing and display. To do this you need to add the mapset this way:<br />
<mapset enabled="yes"><br />
<map type="mg" enabled="yes" active="no" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/dem.map/smp3.smp" /><br />
<map type="mg" enabled="yes" active="no" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/dem.map" /><br />
<map type="binfile" enabled="yes" active="yes" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/osm/*.bin"/><br />
</mapset><br />
It looks like Navit uses the street index of the first enabled map even if it is not active.<br />
<br />
== Changing the display of POI (Points of interest) symbols ==<br />
<br />
you can switch every POI symbol off and on, but there is no Menu function to do it. Connect your Pre in USB Mode and open "appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/navit_layout.xml".<br />
<br />
'''Make a backup of the file before you start and be careful. Navit will not start if you mess up the file !!!'''<br />
<br />
This file defines the different layouts that you can select (Car, Car-dark, bike and T@M). Every layout starts with a line like this:<br />
<br />
<layout name="Car" nightlayout="Car-dark" color="#ffefb7" font="Prelude"><br />
.<br />
.<br />
.<br />
</layout><br />
<br />
If you scroll down in the layout you will find the POI definitions. It starts with the line:<br />
<br />
<layer name="POI Symbols"><br />
<br />
For every defined POI symbole you find the following three lines:<br />
<br />
<itemgra item_types="poi_hotel" order="12-"><br />
<icon src="hotel.png"/><br />
</itemgra><br />
<br />
to switch the POI of simply remove the three lines or change them to<br />
<pre><br />
<!-- <itemgra item_types="poi_hotel" order="12-"><br />
<icon src="hotel.png"/><br />
</itemgra> <br />
--><br />
</pre><br />
Then you can switch them on later if you like.<br />
<br />
Navit loads the first layout that is defined in this file on startup. If you like to have a other layout you will need to move it to the beginning of the file. You can find more documentation in the navit_layout.xml file. The current version can be found in the git repository => http://git.webos-internals.org/?p=preware/cross-compile.git;a=blob;f=packages/apps/navit/files/navit_layout.xml<br />
<br />
<br />
== Understanding ISSUES with OpenStreet Maps ==<br />
<br />
There is a list of issues that first time users keep asking about. These are not WEBOS issues but due to how NAVIT operates with OpenStreet maps. Look at <br />
http://wiki.navit-project.org/index.php/OpenStreetMaps#Problems_with_OSM_and_navit_or_navigation_in_general<br />
Look at the section below called "On how to plan a route" for advice.<br />
<br />
== Why don't I get the new skins we see below? ==<br />
Installation of Navit only copies in the new XML files '''''if the Navit.xml is not there'''''. You need to delete the old ones to get the new. '''''Preware does NOT REMOVE THEM!'''''<br />
<br />
<br />
You find the xml files on the USB drive J: (or another drive X: when your Pre is in USB mode (not charge only mode) depending upon your PC setup.<br />
<br />
Located here J:/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/<br />
<br />
To switch between the three skins shown below you need to open the navit.xml in appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/ . At the bottom you find the section where the skin is included.<br />
Remove the comment markers from the skin you plan to use and add them to the current skin. For example to use < !-- <xi:include href="$NAVIT_USER_DATADIR/navit_gui.xml"/> -- > remove the < !-- and the -- > and ADD the same in front and back of the existing skin, for example <xi:include href="$NAVIT_USER_DATADIR/navit_gui_PreNav.xml"/>. There is NO SPACE between the < and -- and similarly between -- and > in the code. The space appears in this wiki text due to formatting issues.<br />
<br />
== Only as a start. Some images of the current skins: ==<br />
<br />

== How to get around the menus v3 (still not complete)''' ==<br />
<br />
''As an aside the screen captures don't work on full screen - sorry.''<br />
<br />
Main screen is seen here before GPS lock <br />
<br />
[[Image:Start_screen.png]] (here the last saved GPS position is used to choose the starting map).<br />
<br />
Press your finger on the screen and "push" the map around to get the desired location (where you are now or where you want to go) right into the centre of the screen (if you want to zoom into a location use the + button). Tap the screen and you will get the Main Menu shown here.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Main_menu.png]]<br />
Since we want to go somewhere tap on Actions.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Actions_menu.png]]<br />
Now you have a choice of the Location at the center of the map screen, the location of the car (no good here as GPS has not locked in), the Location of a saved Bookmark, or searching for a Location in your OSM or other map you have already loaded into your Pre at /media/NavitMaps/. Choosing Town we get this screen.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Town_view.png]]<br />
Now unless you live in the USA you can now enter a town. If not tap on the US flag and you should get this screen.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Town_view2.png]]<br />
Now Type in your country eg Au will give at least two countries to choose from. Select one and you will then get to enter a town, the street and then house. Lots of times this does not work too well as the House numbering is not available. In this case follow instructions below on How to Plan a Route. <br />
Here are some FAQ about searching http://wiki.navit-project.org/index.php/OpenStreetMaps#Search_for_my_town_works.2C_but_I_can.27t_find_my_street<br />
<br />
OK I have told NAVIT that I wish to go to my new destination and now its ready to go. <br />
<br />
<br />
[[Image:Navit_OK_to_drive.png]] <br />
<br />
<br />
It shows the way to go as a BIG FAT BLUE line as well as speaking the directions. If you want to read the directions Chooose Route then Description. The voice reads these out as you go along the route. Now Rod Whitby can guess where I live.<br />
<br />
[[Now you want to change from a CAR to a Pedestrian, Horse or BIKE!]]<br />
<br />
Choose the Main Menu, then choose Settings and you will see this<br />
<br />
[[Image:Settings_menu.png]]<br />
Now choose Vehicle and you will see this<br />
<br />
[[Image:Vehicle_screen.png]]<br />
Now select GPS and you will see your last choice which is shown here as a car.<br />
<br />
[[Image:GPS_screen_car.png]]<br />
Press once on the row Change profile to: pedestrian (for example)<br />
Then at the top of the screen press on VEHICLE. This will get you back to the GPS screen. Now if you select GPS again you will get this screen confirming you are now a pedestrian.<br />
<br />
[[Image:GPS_screen_ped.png]]<br />
Enjoy :-)<br />
<br />
[[Changing Map view (or getting rid of all the POIs)]]<br />
<br />
If you want very few POIs the simplest option is MainMenu>>Settings>>Display>>Layout>>T@H<br />
<br />
[[Image:choose T@H.png]] [[Image:T@H view.png]] <br />
Go back to map and you will see hardly any POIs. <br />
<br />
Helpful notes from vreihen on 18 and 26 May 2010 now follow,<br />
<br />
== On starting up issues ie '''why the map layer isn't loading?''' ==<br />
<br />
<br />
When Navit first starts up, it uses the north pole as it's initial position (if I recall correctly) until it gets an initial GPS fix. Your map layer problem may be that the GPS point is still at the north pole, or perhaps outside of the map that you have installed. If you tap on the center of the screen and tap on actions, there will be an icon of a car and an icon of a globe. The car icon is your current position, and should contain a non-zero latitude and longitude if your GPS is working and has a fix. Verify that those coordinates are where you are located before you dig any deeper into the maps as the cause of the missing layer.<br />
<br />
The information panels at the bottom of the screen are only populated when Navit is navigating between two points. Otherwise, they should be blank.<br />
<br />
If all else fails with the maps, you could download the entire planet.bin if you have 3.5 gigs of free USB flash space in your phone to eliminate the map file as the cause of your problem.....<br />
<br />
== '''On how to plan a route''' ==<br />
<br />
'''OPTION 1 with GPS'''<br />
<br />
1) Scroll through the map until you can see the location that you want to drive to.<br />
<br />
2) Zoom in tight on the screen, if necessary. Tap on your destination on the map.<br />
<br />
3) When Navit opens it's main menu, tap on actions.<br />
<br />
4) The car icon should show your current latitude/longitude. <br />
<br />
5) The globe icon should show the destination latitude/longitude that you tapped on the map.<br />
<br />
6) Tap on the globe icon.<br />
<br />
7) From the menu that pops up, select either bookmark this location (recommended) or navigate to this location.<br />
<br />
8) If you chose to bookmark it, tap actions | bookmarks, then tap your bookmark. Select navigate to this location.<br />
<br />
9) Depending on the distance you asked it to go, Navit should pop up the first driving direction and speak it to you within 5-10 seconds.<br />
<br />
The OSM map data apparently does not contain the concept of a state, so navigating by state/city/street lookup is difficult to impossible. Navigating by bookmark on the map is the only option for the time being.....<br />
<br />
<br />
'''OPTION 2 No GPS needed'''<br />
<br />
The map you see is centred on your last GPS/chosen location. Now you wish to plan a route at another location '''NOT''' on your current map so GPS is not going to work. You will not get a map on the screen for this location until the end of this setup.<br />
<br />
1) Remove all maps except the one that includes the locations you plan to use later.<br />
<br />
2) Open bookmarks.txt ===== To do the edit go to USB mode, open R:\appdata\org.webosinternals.navit\bookmark.txt with any text editor you like (replace R: with your Drive Letter)<br />
<br />
3) add a new line<br />
<br />
mg: longitude latitude type=bookmark label="Location 1"<br />
<br />
Format is longitude and latitude, both in DD.ddd coordinates. For example Honolulu Stadium is -157.829 21.295, note the need for "-" for W longitude and "-" for S latitude. DD.ddd can have more d's added.<br />
<br />
4) save bookmarks.txt<br />
<br />
5) Start navit and navigate via bookmarks to "Location 1"<br />
<br />
6) If you want to go from place to place just add more bookmarks, suggest arrange them inside a new folder called "My Trip". <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
''' Changing The Starting position'''<br />
<br />
You might want to change the starting position of navit, especially if you are using Navit without a GPS. You can get your coordinates here: http://itouchmap.com/latlong.html<br />
<br />
You can change the starting position in navit.xml, here :<br />
<br />
<navit gui="..." graphics="..." center="4808 N 1134 E" zoom="128" ><br />
<br />
The latitude and longitude are written as multiplied by 100, i.e. you won't see the decimal point. For example, instead of 48.08, enter 4808.<br />
<br />

== Summary ==<br />
<br />
[[Image:Navit_icon.png|50px|left]]<br />
Navit is an open source (GPL) car navigation software for Linux systems. It will display your position on a map (in bird-view mode or as a 3D "visualization") from GPS sensor data, and can provide precise route calculation, touch screen functionality and supports Points of Interest (POI), which can be extended via an easy to use plugin system. Unlike other navigation systems, Navit maps are dynamically generated in real time from vector data. Information about Navit can be found [http://wiki.navit-project.org/index.php/Main_Page on the Navit wiki].<br />
<br />
== Where do you get the latest version of Navit for WebOS 1.4.5 and above ? ==<br />
<br />
There is a bug in the OTA (over the air) update from 1.4.1 to 1.4.5 that prevents Navit from working. To check for the bug open a Terminal or Novaterm and issue this command 'cat /etc/fstab|grep internal'. You should get the following line:<br />
<br />
/dev/mapper/store-media /media/internal vfat utf8,shortname=mixed,umask=0000 0 0<br />
<br />
If your line do not have the 'umask=0000' statement then you need to fix this first as explained here => http://developer.palm.com/distribution/viewtopic.php?p=34750<br />
Thanks to Rod there is now an app in The Preware Testing feed that can do the fix for you => http://forums.precentral.net/showthread.php?p=2556103<br />
<br />
Eine Deutsche Anleitung zum beheben des Problemes ist hier zu finden => http://www.nexave.de/forum/39654-fehler-im-ota-1-4-5-update.html<br />
<br />
# Open Preware. Select available applications. Then type 'Navit' and install as any other WebOS application.<br />
# This will automatically install two other needed packages if you not have installed them. The packages are 'speechd' and 'locale'.<br />
# You settings are migrated if you had installed the Navit Alpha before. Then you can skip step 4-8 the rest.<br />
# Now start Navit. You will see the OSD but no map as this will be installed in the next step. This first start will create the default settings and the empty folder for the map.<br />
# Quit Navit and connect your Pre to your PC in USB mode.<br />

# Put the *.bin file into the folder appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps on the USB drive of your Pre.<br />
# To switch between the three skins you need to open the navit.xml in appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/ . At the bottom you find the section where the skin is included. Remove the comment markers from the skin you plan to use and add them to the current skin.<br />
# Try it out!<br />
# Multiple maps. Using *.bin will not actually grab multiple map files but actually grab just the FIRST map file in the directory. Note that *.bin still does have it's use... If you are using just a single map file in a single directory then whenever you downoad an updated map file you can place it into the directory and not have to worry about modifying the navit.xml file with the new map name. Just remember to delete your old map file from the directory. To specifiy multiple map files you will have to add multiple lines to the navit.xml file with the file name for each map.<br />
To do this you need to add the mapset this way:<br />
<mapset enabled="yes"><br />
<map type="binfile" enabled="yes" active="yes" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/osm/Australia.navit.bin"/><br />
<map type="binfile" enabled="yes" active="no" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/osm/Hawaii.navit.bin"/><br />
<map type="garmin" enabled="yes" active="no" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/garmin/gmapbmap.img"/><br />
</mapset><br />
<br />
# Look at appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/navit.log on you USB drive if Navit is not working as expected. If Navit has problems it writes the information into this log file.<br />

== Using Map&Guide maps ==<br />
<br />
For all Europe uses. You can get a good Mapset from Amazon for 5 Euro => [http://www.amazon.de/Marco-Polo-Gro%C3%9Fer-Reiseplaner-DVD-ROM/dp/3829731426/ Marco Polo Großer Reiseplaner 2007/2008 (DVD-ROM) auf Amazon.de]<br />
<br />
The disadvantage is that the complete map is 3GB, if you only take Germany and the Major roots of Europe it is still 1GB.<br />
<br />
'''For Linux'''<br />
# Change directory to where DVD is mounted<br />
# Unpack data2.cab with: unshield x travel/data2.cab <br />
# Now, you should get a directory named like DIRLAN_GER.<br />
# Inside you find the maps...<br />
'''For Windows'''<br />
# Install the appliaction<br />
# you find the maps in a folder inside the program folder.<br />
<br />
'''Installing the maps'''<br />
# The dem.map folder with all the majors roads and towns of Europe...<br />
# ...and five smpX.smp folders, which contain the details of countries:<br />
* smp1: DK,S,N,IS,FIN,N<br />
* smp2: F,E,GBZ,P,AND,MC<br />
* smp3: Germany<br />
* smp4: CZ,SK,RSM,EST,GEO,LV,LT,MD,RUS,UA,BY,GR,H,I,RO,CH,A,PL,AL,MT,CY,BG,FL,SRB,MNE,HR,SLO,BIH,MK,TR,AZ,AM,V<br />
* smp5: NL,B,GB,L,IRL <br />
# copy the dem.map folder into a place on your hard drive<br />
# remove all *d60* files from the dem.map folder<br />
# copy the dem.map folder into /MaypsNavit on you usb drive<br />
# copy the smpX.smp folder you need into /MaypsNavit/dem.map folder<br />
# open appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/navit.xml and change the following:<br />
<mapset enabled="yes"><br />
<map type="binfile" enabled="yes" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/*.bin"/><br />
</mapset><br />
to <br />
<mapset enabled="yes"><br />
<map type="binfile" enabled="yes" active="yes" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/osm/*.bin"/><br />
<map type="mg" enabled="yes" active="no" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/dem.map" /><br />
<map type="mg" enabled="yes" active="no" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/dem.map/smp3.smp" /><br />
</mapset><br />
<br />
Now you can switch between the OSM and the M&G maps from the settings/maps menu inside of Navit. The OSM map is the default. To make M&G the default you need to invert the active switches.<br />
<br />
I would expect the the Map&Guide maps for other countries will also work. But you need to find a cheep Product that contains them.<br />
<br />
If you have the m&g and the OSM maps on your USB drive then you can use the index from the m&g maps for searching and the OSM maps for routing and display. To do this you need to add the mapset this way:<br />
<mapset enabled="yes"><br />
<map type="mg" enabled="yes" active="no" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/dem.map/smp3.smp" /><br />
<map type="mg" enabled="yes" active="no" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/dem.map" /><br />
<map type="binfile" enabled="yes" active="yes" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/osm/*.bin"/><br />
</mapset><br />
It looks like Navit uses the street index of the first enabled map even if it is not active.<br />
<br />
== Changing the display of POI (Points of interest) symbols ==<br />
<br />
you can switch every POI symbol off and on, but there is no Menu function to do it. Connect your Pre in USB Mode and open "appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/navit_layout.xml".<br />
<br />
'''Make a backup of the file before you start and be careful. Navit will not start if you mess up the file !!!'''<br />
<br />
This file defines the different layouts that you can select (Car, Car-dark, bike and T@M). Every layout starts with a line like this:<br />
<br />
<layout name="Car" nightlayout="Car-dark" color="#ffefb7" font="Prelude"><br />
.<br />
.<br />
.<br />
</layout><br />
<br />
If you scroll down in the layout you will find the POI definitions. It starts with the line:<br />
<br />
<layer name="POI Symbols"><br />
<br />
For every defined POI symbole you find the following three lines:<br />
<br />
<itemgra item_types="poi_hotel" order="12-"><br />
<icon src="hotel.png"/><br />
</itemgra><br />
<br />
to switch the POI of simply remove the three lines or change them to<br />
<pre><br />
<!-- <itemgra item_types="poi_hotel" order="12-"><br />
<icon src="hotel.png"/><br />
</itemgra> <br />
--><br />
</pre><br />
Then you can switch them on later if you like.<br />
<br />
Navit loads the first layout that is defined in this file on startup. If you like to have a other layout you will need to move it to the beginning of the file. You can find more documentation in the navit_layout.xml file. The current version can be found in the git repository => http://git.webos-internals.org/?p=preware/cross-compile.git;a=blob;f=packages/apps/navit/files/navit_layout.xml<br />
<br />
<br />
== Understanding ISSUES with OpenStreet Maps ==<br />
<br />
There is a list of issues that first time users keep asking about. These are not WEBOS issues but due to how NAVIT operates with OpenStreet maps. Look at <br />
http://wiki.navit-project.org/index.php/OpenStreetMaps#Problems_with_OSM_and_navit_or_navigation_in_general<br />
Look at the section below called "On how to plan a route" for advice.<br />
<br />
== Why don't I get the new skins we see below? ==<br />
Installation of Navit only copies in the new XML files '''''if the Navit.xml is not there'''''. You need to delete the old ones to get the new. '''''Preware does NOT REMOVE THEM!'''''<br />
<br />
<br />
You find the xml files on the USB drive J: (or another drive X: when your Pre is in USB mode (not charge only mode) depending upon your PC setup.<br />
<br />
Located here J:/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/<br />
<br />
To switch between the three skins shown below you need to open the navit.xml in appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/ . At the bottom you find the section where the skin is included.<br />
Remove the comment markers from the skin you plan to use and add them to the current skin. For example to use < !-- <xi:include href="$NAVIT_USER_DATADIR/navit_gui.xml"/> -- > remove the < !-- and the -- > and ADD the same in front and back of the existing skin, for example <xi:include href="$NAVIT_USER_DATADIR/navit_gui_PreNav.xml"/>. There is NO SPACE between the < and -- and similarly between -- and > in the code. The space appears in this wiki text due to formatting issues.<br />
<br />
== Only as a start. Some images of the current skins: ==<br />
<br />
<br />

== How to get around the menus v3 (still not complete)''' ==<br />
<br />
''As an aside the screen captures don't work on full screen - sorry.''<br />
<br />
Main screen is seen here before GPS lock <br />
<br />
[[Image:Start_screen.png]] (here the last saved GPS position is used to choose the starting map).<br />
<br />
Press your finger on the screen and "push" the map around to get the desired location (where you are now or where you want to go) right into the centre of the screen (if you want to zoom into a location use the + button). Tap the screen and you will get the Main Menu shown here.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Main_menu.png]]<br />
Since we want to go somewhere tap on Actions.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Actions_menu.png]]<br />
Now you have a choice of the Location at the center of the map screen, the location of the car (no good here as GPS has not locked in), the Location of a saved Bookmark, or searching for a Location in your OSM or other map you have already loaded into your Pre at /media/NavitMaps/. Choosing Town we get this screen.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Town_view.png]]<br />
Now unless you live in the USA you can now enter a town. If not tap on the US flag and you should get this screen.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Town_view2.png]]<br />
Now Type in your country eg Au will give at least two countries to choose from. Select one and you will then get to enter a town, the street and then house. Lots of times this does not work too well as the House numbering is not available. In this case follow instructions below on How to Plan a Route. <br />
Here are some FAQ about searching http://wiki.navit-project.org/index.php/OpenStreetMaps#Search_for_my_town_works.2C_but_I_can.27t_find_my_street<br />
<br />
OK I have told NAVIT that I wish to go to my new destination and now its ready to go. <br />
<br />
<br />
[[Image:Navit_OK_to_drive.png]] <br />
<br />
<br />
It shows the way to go as a BIG FAT BLUE line as well as speaking the directions. If you want to read the directions Chooose Route then Description. The voice reads these out as you go along the route. Now Rod Whitby can guess where I live.<br />
<br />
[[Now you want to change from a CAR to a Pedestrian, Horse or BIKE!]]<br />
<br />
Choose the Main Menu, then choose Settings and you will see this<br />
<br />
[[Image:Settings_menu.png]]<br />
Now choose Vehicle and you will see this<br />
<br />
[[Image:Vehicle_screen.png]]<br />
Now select GPS and you will see your last choice which is shown here as a car.<br />
<br />
[[Image:GPS_screen_car.png]]<br />
Press once on the row Change profile to: pedestrian (for example)<br />
Then at the top of the screen press on VEHICLE. This will get you back to the GPS screen. Now if you select GPS again you will get this screen confirming you are now a pedestrian.<br />
<br />
[[Image:GPS_screen_ped.png]]<br />
Enjoy :-)<br />

[[Changing Map view (or getting rid of all the POIs)]]<br />

[[Image:choose T@H.png]] [[Image:T@H view.png]] <br />
Go back to map and you will see hardly any POIs. <br />

<br />
== On starting up issues ie '''why the map layer isn't loading?''' ==<br />
<br />
<br />
When Navit first starts up, it uses the north pole as it's initial position (if I recall correctly) until it gets an initial GPS fix. Your map layer problem may be that the GPS point is still at the north pole, or perhaps outside of the map that you have installed. If you tap on the center of the screen and tap on actions, there will be an icon of a car and an icon of a globe. The car icon is your current position, and should contain a non-zero latitude and longitude if your GPS is working and has a fix. Verify that those coordinates are where you are located before you dig any deeper into the maps as the cause of the missing layer.<br />
<br />
The information panels at the bottom of the screen are only populated when Navit is navigating between two points. Otherwise, they should be blank.<br />
<br />
If all else fails with the maps, you could download the entire planet.bin if you have 3.5 gigs of free USB flash space in your phone to eliminate the map file as the cause of your problem.....<br />
<br />
== '''On how to plan a route''' ==<br />
<br />
'''OPTION 1 with GPS'''<br />
<br />
1) Scroll through the map until you can see the location that you want to drive to.<br />
<br />
2) Zoom in tight on the screen, if necessary. Tap on your destination on the map.<br />
<br />
3) When Navit opens it's main menu, tap on actions.<br />
<br />
4) The car icon should show your current latitude/longitude. <br />
<br />
5) The globe icon should show the destination latitude/longitude that you tapped on the map.<br />
<br />
6) Tap on the globe icon.<br />
<br />
7) From the menu that pops up, select either bookmark this location (recommended) or navigate to this location.<br />
<br />
8) If you chose to bookmark it, tap actions | bookmarks, then tap your bookmark. Select navigate to this location.<br />
<br />
9) Depending on the distance you asked it to go, Navit should pop up the first driving direction and speak it to you within 5-10 seconds.<br />
<br />
The OSM map data apparently does not contain the concept of a state, so navigating by state/city/street lookup is difficult to impossible. Navigating by bookmark on the map is the only option for the time being.....<br />
<br />
<br />
'''OPTION 2 No GPS needed'''<br />
<br />
The map you see is centred on your last GPS/chosen location. Now you wish to plan a route at another location '''NOT''' on your current map so GPS is not going to work. You will not get a map on the screen for this location until the end of this setup.<br />
<br />
1) Remove all maps except the one that includes the locations you plan to use later.<br />
<br />
2) Open bookmarks.txt ===== To do the edit go to USB mode, open R:\appdata\org.webosinternals.navit\bookmark.txt with any text editor you like (replace R: with your Drive Letter)<br />
<br />
3) add a new line<br />
<br />
mg: longitude latitude type=bookmark label="Location 1"<br />
<br />
Format is longitude and latitude, both in DD.ddd coordinates. For example Honolulu Stadium is -157.829 21.295, note the need for "-" for W longitude and "-" for S latitude. DD.ddd can have more d's added.<br />
<br />
4) save bookmarks.txt<br />
<br />
5) Start navit and navigate via bookmarks to "Location 1"<br />
<br />
6) If you want to go from place to place just add more bookmarks, suggest arrange them inside a new folder called "My Trip". <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
''' Changing The Starting position'''<br />
<br />
You might want to change the starting position of navit, especially if you are using Navit without a GPS. You can get your coordinates here: http://itouchmap.com/latlong.html<br />
<br />
You can change the starting position in navit.xml, here :<br />
<br />
<navit gui="..." graphics="..." center="4808 N 1134 E" zoom="128" ><br />
<br />
The latitude and longitude are written as multiplied by 100, i.e. you won't see the decimal point. For example, instead of 48.08, enter 4808.<br />
<br />
== So you want Miles not km? ==<br />

== Summary ==<br />
<br />
[[Image:Navit_icon.png|50px|left]]<br />
Navit is an open source (GPL) car navigation software for Linux systems. It will display your position on a map (in bird-view mode or as a 3D "visualization") from GPS sensor data, and can provide precise route calculation, touch screen functionality and supports Points of Interest (POI), which can be extended via an easy to use plugin system. Unlike other navigation systems, Navit maps are dynamically generated in real time from vector data. Information about Navit can be found [http://wiki.navit-project.org/index.php/Main_Page on the Navit wiki].<br />
<br />
== Where do you get the latest version of Navit for WebOS 1.4.5 and above ? ==<br />
<br />
There is a bug in the OTA (over the air) update from 1.4.1 to 1.4.5 that prevents Navit from working. To check for the bug open a Terminal or Novaterm and issue this command 'cat /etc/fstab|grep internal'. You should get the following line:<br />
<br />
/dev/mapper/store-media /media/internal vfat utf8,shortname=mixed,umask=0000 0 0<br />
<br />
If your line do not have the 'umask=0000' statement then you need to fix this first as explained here => http://developer.palm.com/distribution/viewtopic.php?p=34750<br />
Thanks to Rod there is now an app in The Preware Testing feed that can do the fix for you => http://forums.precentral.net/showthread.php?p=2556103<br />
<br />
Eine Deutsche Anleitung zum beheben des Problemes ist hier zu finden => http://www.nexave.de/forum/39654-fehler-im-ota-1-4-5-update.html<br />
<br />
# Open Preware. Select available applications. Then type 'Navit' and install as any other WebOS application.<br />
# This will automatically install two other needed packages if you not have installed them. The packages are 'speechd' and 'locale'.<br />
# You settings are migrated if you had installed the Navit Alpha before. Then you can skip step 4-8 the rest.<br />
# Now start Navit. You will see the OSD but no map as this will be installed in the next step. This first start will create the default settings and the empty folder for the map.<br />

Just remember to delete your old map file from the directory. To specifiy multiple map files you will have to add multiple lines to the navit.xml file with the file name for each map.<br />

== Using Map&Guide maps ==<br />
<br />
For all Europe uses. You can get a good Mapset from Amazon for 5 Euro => [http://www.amazon.de/Marco-Polo-Gro%C3%9Fer-Reiseplaner-DVD-ROM/dp/3829731426/ Marco Polo Großer Reiseplaner 2007/2008 (DVD-ROM) auf Amazon.de]<br />
<br />
The disadvantage is that the complete map is 3GB, if you only take Germany and the Major roots of Europe it is still 1GB.<br />
<br />
'''For Linux'''<br />
# Change directory to where DVD is mounted<br />
# Unpack data2.cab with: unshield x travel/data2.cab <br />
# Now, you should get a directory named like DIRLAN_GER.<br />
# Inside you find the maps...<br />
'''For Windows'''<br />
# Install the appliaction<br />
# you find the maps in a folder inside the program folder.<br />
<br />
'''Installing the maps'''<br />
# The dem.map folder with all the majors roads and towns of Europe...<br />
# ...and five smpX.smp folders, which contain the details of countries:<br />
* smp1: DK,S,N,IS,FIN,N<br />
* smp2: F,E,GBZ,P,AND,MC<br />
* smp3: Germany<br />
* smp4: CZ,SK,RSM,EST,GEO,LV,LT,MD,RUS,UA,BY,GR,H,I,RO,CH,A,PL,AL,MT,CY,BG,FL,SRB,MNE,HR,SLO,BIH,MK,TR,AZ,AM,V<br />
* smp5: NL,B,GB,L,IRL <br />
# copy the dem.map folder into a place on your hard drive<br />
# remove all *d60* files from the dem.map folder<br />
# copy the dem.map folder into /MaypsNavit on you usb drive<br />
# copy the smpX.smp folder you need into /MaypsNavit/dem.map folder<br />
# open appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/navit.xml and change the following:<br />
<mapset enabled="yes"><br />
<map type="binfile" enabled="yes" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/*.bin"/><br />
</mapset><br />
to <br />
<mapset enabled="yes"><br />
<map type="binfile" enabled="yes" active="yes" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/osm/*.bin"/><br />
<map type="mg" enabled="yes" active="no" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/dem.map" /><br />
<map type="mg" enabled="yes" active="no" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/dem.map/smp3.smp" /><br />
</mapset><br />
<br />
Now you can switch between the OSM and the M&G maps from the settings/maps menu inside of Navit. The OSM map is the default. To make M&G the default you need to invert the active switches.<br />
<br />
I would expect the the Map&Guide maps for other countries will also work. But you need to find a cheep Product that contains them.<br />
<br />
If you have the m&g and the OSM maps on your USB drive then you can use the index from the m&g maps for searching and the OSM maps for routing and display. To do this you need to add the mapset this way:<br />
<mapset enabled="yes"><br />
<map type="mg" enabled="yes" active="no" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/dem.map/smp3.smp" /><br />
<map type="mg" enabled="yes" active="no" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/dem.map" /><br />
<map type="binfile" enabled="yes" active="yes" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/osm/*.bin"/><br />
</mapset><br />
It looks like Navit uses the street index of the first enabled map even if it is not active.<br />
<br />
== Changing the display of POI (Points of interest) symbols ==<br />
<br />
you can switch every POI symbol off and on, but there is no Menu function to do it. Connect your Pre in USB Mode and open "appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/navit_layout.xml".<br />
<br />
'''Make a backup of the file before you start and be careful. Navit will not start if you mess up the file !!!'''<br />
<br />
This file defines the different layouts that you can select (Car, Car-dark, bike and T@M). Every layout starts with a line like this:<br />
<br />
<layout name="Car" nightlayout="Car-dark" color="#ffefb7" font="Prelude"><br />
.<br />
.<br />
.<br />
</layout><br />
<br />
If you scroll down in the layout you will find the POI definitions. It starts with the line:<br />
<br />
<layer name="POI Symbols"><br />
<br />
For every defined POI symbole you find the following three lines:<br />
<br />
<itemgra item_types="poi_hotel" order="12-"><br />
<icon src="hotel.png"/><br />
</itemgra><br />
<br />
to switch the POI of simply remove the three lines or change them to<br />
<pre><br />
<!-- <itemgra item_types="poi_hotel" order="12-"><br />
<icon src="hotel.png"/><br />
</itemgra> <br />
--><br />
</pre><br />
Then you can switch them on later if you like.<br />
<br />
Navit loads the first layout that is defined in this file on startup. If you like to have a other layout you will need to move it to the beginning of the file. You can find more documentation in the navit_layout.xml file. The current version can be found in the git repository => http://git.webos-internals.org/?p=preware/cross-compile.git;a=blob;f=packages/apps/navit/files/navit_layout.xml<br />
<br />
<br />
== Understanding ISSUES with OpenStreet Maps ==<br />
<br />
There is a list of issues that first time users keep asking about. These are not WEBOS issues but due to how NAVIT operates with OpenStreet maps. Look at <br />
http://wiki.navit-project.org/index.php/OpenStreetMaps#Problems_with_OSM_and_navit_or_navigation_in_general<br />
Look at the section below called "On how to plan a route" for advice.<br />
<br />
== Why don't I get the new skins we see below? ==<br />
Installation of Navit only copies in the new XML files '''''if the Navit.xml is not there'''''. You need to delete the old ones to get the new. '''''Preware does NOT REMOVE THEM!'''''<br />
<br />
<br />
You find the xml files on the USB drive J: (or another drive X: when your Pre is in USB mode (not charge only mode) depending upon your PC setup.<br />
<br />
Located here J:/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/<br />
<br />
To switch between the three skins shown below you need to open the navit.xml in appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/ . At the bottom you find the section where the skin is included.<br />
Remove the comment markers from the skin you plan to use and add them to the current skin. For example to use < !-- <xi:include href="$NAVIT_USER_DATADIR/navit_gui.xml"/> -- > remove the < !-- and the -- > and ADD the same in front and back of the existing skin, for example <xi:include href="$NAVIT_USER_DATADIR/navit_gui_PreNav.xml"/>. There is NO SPACE between the < and -- and similarly between -- and > in the code. The space appears in this wiki text due to formatting issues.<br />
<br />
== Only as a start. Some images of the current skins: ==<br />
<br />

== How to get around the menus v3 (still not complete)''' ==<br />
<br />
''As an aside the screen captures don't work on full screen - sorry.''<br />
<br />
Main screen is seen here before GPS lock <br />
<br />
[[Image:Start_screen.png]] (here the last saved GPS position is used to choose the starting map).<br />
<br />
Press your finger on the screen and "push" the map around to get the desired location (where you are now or where you want to go) right into the centre of the screen (if you want to zoom into a location use the + button). Tap the screen and you will get the Main Menu shown here.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Main_menu.png]]<br />
Since we want to go somewhere tap on Actions.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Actions_menu.png]]<br />
Now you have a choice of the Location at the center of the map screen, the location of the car (no good here as GPS has not locked in), the Location of a saved Bookmark, or searching for a Location in your OSM or other map you have already loaded into your Pre at /media/NavitMaps/. Choosing Town we get this screen.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Town_view.png]]<br />
Now unless you live in the USA you can now enter a town. If not tap on the US flag and you should get this screen.<br />
<br />

Now Type in your country eg Au will give at least two countries to choose from. Select one and you will then get to enter a town, the street and then house. Lots of times this does not work too well as the House numbering is not available. In this case follow instructions below on How to Plan a Route. <br />
Here are some FAQ about searching http://wiki.navit-project.org/index.php/OpenStreetMaps#Search_for_my_town_works.2C_but_I_can.27t_find_my_street<br />
<br />
OK I have told NAVIT that I wish to go to my new destination and now its ready to go. <br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
It shows the way to go as a BIG FAT BLUE line as well as speaking the directions. If you want to read the directions Chooose Route then Description. The voice reads these out as you go along the route. Now Rod Whitby can guess where I live.<br />

[[Now you want to change from a CAR to a Pedestrian, Horse or BIKE!]]<br />
<br />
Choose the Main Menu, then choose Settings and you will see this<br />

Press once on the row Change profile to: pedestrian (for example)<br />
Then at the top of the screen press on VEHICLE. This will get you back to the GPS screen. Now if you select GPS again you will get this screen confirming you are now a pedestrian.<br />

[[Changing Map view (or getting rid of all the POIs)]]<br />
<br />
If you want very few POIs the simplest option is MainMenu>>Settings>>Display>>Layout>>T@H<br />

Helpful notes from vreihen on 18 and 26 May 2010 now follow,<br />
<br />
== On starting up issues ie '''why the map layer isn't loading?''' ==<br />
<br />
<br />
When Navit first starts up, it uses the north pole as it's initial position (if I recall correctly) until it gets an initial GPS fix. Your map layer problem may be that the GPS point is still at the north pole, or perhaps outside of the map that you have installed. If you tap on the center of the screen and tap on actions, there will be an icon of a car and an icon of a globe. The car icon is your current position, and should contain a non-zero latitude and longitude if your GPS is working and has a fix. Verify that those coordinates are where you are located before you dig any deeper into the maps as the cause of the missing layer.<br />
<br />
The information panels at the bottom of the screen are only populated when Navit is navigating between two points. Otherwise, they should be blank.<br />
<br />
If all else fails with the maps, you could download the entire planet.bin if you have 3.5 gigs of free USB flash space in your phone to eliminate the map file as the cause of your problem.....<br />
<br />
== '''On how to plan a route''' ==<br />
<br />
'''OPTION 1 with GPS'''<br />
<br />
1) Scroll through the map until you can see the location that you want to drive to.<br />
<br />
2) Zoom in tight on the screen, if necessary. Tap on your destination on the map.<br />
<br />
3) When Navit opens it's main menu, tap on actions.<br />
<br />
4) The car icon should show your current latitude/longitude. <br />
<br />
5) The globe icon should show the destination latitude/longitude that you tapped on the map.<br />
<br />
6) Tap on the globe icon.<br />
<br />
7) From the menu that pops up, select either bookmark this location (recommended) or navigate to this location.<br />
<br />
8) If you chose to bookmark it, tap actions | bookmarks, then tap your bookmark. Select navigate to this location.<br />
<br />
9) Depending on the distance you asked it to go, Navit should pop up the first driving direction and speak it to you within 5-10 seconds.<br />
<br />
The OSM map data apparently does not contain the concept of a state, so navigating by state/city/street lookup is difficult to impossible. Navigating by bookmark on the map is the only option for the time being.....<br />
<br />
<br />
'''OPTION 2 No GPS needed'''<br />
<br />
The map you see is centred on your last GPS/chosen location. Now you wish to plan a route at another location '''NOT''' on your current map so GPS is not going to work. You will not get a map on the screen for this location until the end of this setup.<br />
<br />
1) Remove all maps except the one that includes the locations you plan to use later.<br />
<br />
2) Open bookmarks.txt ===== To do the edit go to USB mode, open R:\appdata\org.webosinternals.navit\bookmark.txt with any text editor you like (replace R: with your Drive Letter)<br />
<br />
3) add a new line<br />
<br />
mg: longitude latitude type=bookmark label="Location 1"<br />
<br />
Format is longitude and latitude, both in DD.ddd coordinates. For example Honolulu Stadium is -157.829 21.295, note the need for "-" for W longitude and "-" for S latitude. DD.ddd can have more d's added.<br />
<br />
4) save bookmarks.txt<br />
<br />
5) Start navit and navigate via bookmarks to "Location 1"<br />
<br />
6) If you want to go from place to place just add more bookmarks, suggest arrange them inside a new folder called "My Trip". <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
''' Changing The Starting position'''<br />
<br />
You might want to change the starting position of navit, especially if you are using Navit without a GPS. You can get your coordinates here: http://itouchmap.com/latlong.html<br />
<br />
You can change the starting position in navit.xml, here :<br />
<br />
<navit gui="..." graphics="..." center="4808 N 1134 E" zoom="128" ><br />
<br />
The latitude and longitude are written as multiplied by 100, i.e. you won't see the decimal point. For example, instead of 48.08, enter 4808.<br />
<br />
== So you want Miles not km? ==<br />

== Summary ==<br />
<br />
[[Image:Navit_icon.png|50px|left]]<br />
Navit is an open source (GPL) car navigation software for Linux systems. It will display your position on a map (in bird-view mode or as a 3D "visualization") from GPS sensor data, and can provide precise route calculation, touch screen functionality and supports Points of Interest (POI), which can be extended via an easy to use plugin system. Unlike other navigation systems, Navit maps are dynamically generated in real time from vector data. Information about Navit can be found [http://wiki.navit-project.org/index.php/Main_Page on the Navit wiki].<br />
<br />
== Where do you get the latest version of Navit for WebOS 1.4.5 and above ? ==<br />
<br />
There is a bug in the OTA (over the air) update from 1.4.1 to 1.4.5 that prevents Navit from working. To check for the bug open a Terminal or Novaterm and issue this command 'cat /etc/fstab|grep internal'. You should get the following line:<br />
<br />
/dev/mapper/store-media /media/internal vfat utf8,shortname=mixed,umask=0000 0 0<br />
<br />
If your line do not have the 'umask=0000' statement then you need to fix this first as explained here => http://developer.palm.com/distribution/viewtopic.php?p=34750<br />
Thanks to Rod there is now an app in The Preware Testing feed that can do the fix for you => http://forums.precentral.net/showthread.php?p=2556103<br />
<br />
Eine Deutsche Anleitung zum beheben des Problemes ist hier zu finden => http://www.nexave.de/forum/39654-fehler-im-ota-1-4-5-update.html<br />
<br />
# Open Preware. Select available applications. Then type 'Navit' and install as any other WebOS application.<br />
# This will automatically install two other needed packages if you not have installed them. The packages are 'speechd' and 'locale'.<br />
# You settings are migrated if you had installed the Navit Alpha before. Then you can skip step 4-8 the rest.<br />
# Now start Navit. You will see the OSD but no map as this will be installed in the next step. This first start will create the default settings and the empty folder for the map.<br />

== Using Map&Guide maps ==<br />
<br />
For all Europe uses. You can get a good Mapset from Amazon for 5 Euro => [http://www.amazon.de/Marco-Polo-Gro%C3%9Fer-Reiseplaner-DVD-ROM/dp/3829731426/ Marco Polo Großer Reiseplaner 2007/2008 (DVD-ROM) auf Amazon.de]<br />
<br />
The disadvantage is that the complete map is 3GB, if you only take Germany and the Major roots of Europe it is still 1GB.<br />
<br />
'''For Linux'''<br />
# Change directory to where DVD is mounted<br />
# Unpack data2.cab with: unshield x travel/data2.cab <br />
# Now, you should get a directory named like DIRLAN_GER.<br />
# Inside you find the maps...<br />
'''For Windows'''<br />
# Install the appliaction<br />
# you find the maps in a folder inside the program folder.<br />
<br />
'''Installing the maps'''<br />
# The dem.map folder with all the majors roads and towns of Europe...<br />
# ...and five smpX.smp folders, which contain the details of countries:<br />
* smp1: DK,S,N,IS,FIN,N<br />
* smp2: F,E,GBZ,P,AND,MC<br />
* smp3: Germany<br />
* smp4: CZ,SK,RSM,EST,GEO,LV,LT,MD,RUS,UA,BY,GR,H,I,RO,CH,A,PL,AL,MT,CY,BG,FL,SRB,MNE,HR,SLO,BIH,MK,TR,AZ,AM,V<br />
* smp5: NL,B,GB,L,IRL <br />
# copy the dem.map folder into a place on your hard drive<br />
# remove all *d60* files from the dem.map folder<br />
# copy the dem.map folder into /MaypsNavit on you usb drive<br />
# copy the smpX.smp folder you need into /MaypsNavit/dem.map folder<br />
# open appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/navit.xml and change the following:<br />
<mapset enabled="yes"><br />
<map type="binfile" enabled="yes" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/*.bin"/><br />
</mapset><br />
to <br />
<mapset enabled="yes"><br />
<map type="binfile" enabled="yes" active="yes" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/osm/*.bin"/><br />
<map type="mg" enabled="yes" active="no" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/dem.map" /><br />
<map type="mg" enabled="yes" active="no" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/dem.map/smp3.smp" /><br />
</mapset><br />
<br />
Now you can switch between the OSM and the M&G maps from the settings/maps menu inside of Navit. The OSM map is the default. To make M&G the default you need to invert the active switches.<br />
<br />
I would expect the the Map&Guide maps for other countries will also work. But you need to find a cheep Product that contains them.<br />
<br />
If you have the m&g and the OSM maps on your USB drive then you can use the index from the m&g maps for searching and the OSM maps for routing and display. To do this you need to add the mapset this way:<br />
<mapset enabled="yes"><br />
<map type="mg" enabled="yes" active="no" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/dem.map/smp3.smp" /><br />
<map type="mg" enabled="yes" active="no" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/dem.map" /><br />
<map type="binfile" enabled="yes" active="yes" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/osm/*.bin"/><br />
</mapset><br />
It looks like Navit uses the street index of the first enabled map even if it is not active.<br />
<br />
== Changing the display of POI (Points of interest) symbols ==<br />
<br />
you can switch every POI symbol off and on, but there is no Menu function to do it. Connect your Pre in USB Mode and open "appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/navit_layout.xml".<br />
<br />
'''Make a backup of the file before you start and be careful. Navit will not start if you mess up the file !!!'''<br />
<br />
This file defines the different layouts that you can select (Car, Car-dark, bike and T@M). Every layout starts with a line like this:<br />
<br />
<layout name="Car" nightlayout="Car-dark" color="#ffefb7" font="Prelude"><br />
.<br />
.<br />
.<br />
</layout><br />
<br />
If you scroll down in the layout you will find the POI definitions. It starts with the line:<br />
<br />
<layer name="POI Symbols"><br />
<br />
For every defined POI symbole you find the following three lines:<br />
<br />
<itemgra item_types="poi_hotel" order="12-"><br />
<icon src="hotel.png"/><br />
</itemgra><br />
<br />
to switch the POI of simply remove the three lines or change them to<br />
<pre><br />
<!-- <itemgra item_types="poi_hotel" order="12-"><br />
<icon src="hotel.png"/><br />
</itemgra> <br />
--><br />
</pre><br />
Then you can switch them on later if you like.<br />
<br />
Navit loads the first layout that is defined in this file on startup. If you like to have a other layout you will need to move it to the beginning of the file. You can find more documentation in the navit_layout.xml file. The current version can be found in the git repository => http://git.webos-internals.org/?p=preware/cross-compile.git;a=blob;f=packages/apps/navit/files/navit_layout.xml<br />
<br />
<br />
== Understanding ISSUES with OpenStreet Maps ==<br />
<br />
There is a list of issues that first time users keep asking about. These are not WEBOS issues but due to how NAVIT operates with OpenStreet maps. Look at <br />
http://wiki.navit-project.org/index.php/OpenStreetMaps#Problems_with_OSM_and_navit_or_navigation_in_general<br />
Look at the section below called "On how to plan a route" for advice.<br />
<br />
== Why don't I get the new skins we see below? ==<br />
Installation of Navit only copies in the new XML files '''''if the Navit.xml is not there'''''. You need to delete the old ones to get the new. '''''Preware does NOT REMOVE THEM!'''''<br />
<br />
<br />
You find the xml files on the USB drive J: (or another drive X: when your Pre is in USB mode (not charge only mode) depending upon your PC setup.<br />
<br />
Located here J:/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/<br />
<br />
To switch between the three skins shown below you need to open the navit.xml in appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/ . At the bottom you find the section where the skin is included.<br />
Remove the comment markers from the skin you plan to use and add them to the current skin. For example to use < !-- <xi:include href="$NAVIT_USER_DATADIR/navit_gui.xml"/> -- > remove the < !-- and the -- > and ADD the same in front and back of the existing skin, for example <xi:include href="$NAVIT_USER_DATADIR/navit_gui_PreNav.xml"/>. There is NO SPACE between the < and -- and similarly between -- and > in the code. The space appears in this wiki text due to formatting issues.<br />
<br />

<br />
''As an aside the screen captures don't work on full screen - sorry.''<br />
<br />
Main screen is seen here before GPS lock <br />
<br />
[[Image:Start_screen.png]] (here the last saved GPS position is used to choose the starting map).<br />
<br />
Press your finger on the screen and "push" the map around to get the desired location (where you are now or where you want to go) right into the centre of the screen (if you want to zoom into a location use the + button). Tap the screen and you will get the Main Menu shown here.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Main_menu.png]]<br />
Since we want to go somewhere tap on Actions.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Actions_menu.png]]<br />
Now you have a choice of the Location at the center of the map screen, the location of the car (no good here as GPS has not locked in), the Location of a saved Bookmark, or searching for a Location in your OSM or other map you have already loaded into your Pre at /media/NavitMaps/. Choosing Town we get this screen.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Town_view.png]]<br />
Now unless you live in the USA you can now enter a town. If not tap on the US flag and you should get this screen.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Town_view2.png]]<br />
Now Type in your country eg Au will give at least two countries to choose from. Select one and you will then get to enter a town, the street and then house. Lots of times this does not work too well as the House numbering is not available. In this case follow instructions below on How to Plan a Route. <br />
Here are some FAQ about searching http://wiki.navit-project.org/index.php/OpenStreetMaps#Search_for_my_town_works.2C_but_I_can.27t_find_my_street<br />
<br />
OK I have told NAVIT that I wish to go to my new destination and now its ready to go. <br />
<br />
<br />
[[Image:Navit_OK_to_drive.png]] <br />
<br />
<br />
It shows the way to go as a BIG FAT BLUE line as well as speaking the directions. If you want to read the directions Chooose Route then Description. The voice reads these out as you go along the route. Now Rod Whitby can guess where I live.<br />
<br />
[[Now you want to change from a CAR to a Pedestrian, Horse or BIKE!]]<br />
<br />
Choose the Main Menu, then choose Settings and you will see this<br />
<br />
[[Image:Settings_menu.png]]<br />
Now choose Vehicle and you will see this<br />
<br />
[[Image:Vehicle_screen.png]]<br />
Now select GPS and you will see your last choice which is shown here as a car.<br />
<br />
[[Image:GPS_screen_car.png]]<br />
Press once on the row Change profile to: pedestrian (for example)<br />
Then at the top of the screen press on VEHICLE. This will get you back to the GPS screen. Now if you select GPS again you will get this screen confirming you are now a pedestrian.<br />
<br />
[[Image:GPS_screen_ped.png]]<br />
Enjoy :-)<br />
<br />
[[Changing Map view (or getting rid of all the POIs)]]<br />
<br />
If you want very few POIs the simplest option is MainMenu>>Settings>>Display>>Layout>>T@H<br />
<br />
[[Image:choose T@H.png]] [[Image:T@H view.png]] <br />
Go back to map and you will see hardly any POIs. <br />

Helpful notes from vreihen on 18 and 26 May 2010 now follow,<br />
<br />
== On starting up issues ie '''why the map layer isn't loading?''' ==<br />
<br />
<br />
When Navit first starts up, it uses the north pole as it's initial position (if I recall correctly) until it gets an initial GPS fix. Your map layer problem may be that the GPS point is still at the north pole, or perhaps outside of the map that you have installed. If you tap on the center of the screen and tap on actions, there will be an icon of a car and an icon of a globe. The car icon is your current position, and should contain a non-zero latitude and longitude if your GPS is working and has a fix. Verify that those coordinates are where you are located before you dig any deeper into the maps as the cause of the missing layer.<br />
<br />
The information panels at the bottom of the screen are only populated when Navit is navigating between two points. Otherwise, they should be blank.<br />
<br />
If all else fails with the maps, you could download the entire planet.bin if you have 3.5 gigs of free USB flash space in your phone to eliminate the map file as the cause of your problem.....<br />
<br />
== '''On how to plan a route''' ==<br />
<br />
'''OPTION 1 with GPS'''<br />
<br />
1) Scroll through the map until you can see the location that you want to drive to.<br />
<br />
2) Zoom in tight on the screen, if necessary. Tap on your destination on the map.<br />
<br />
3) When Navit opens it's main menu, tap on actions.<br />
<br />
4) The car icon should show your current latitude/longitude. <br />
<br />
5) The globe icon should show the destination latitude/longitude that you tapped on the map.<br />
<br />
6) Tap on the globe icon.<br />
<br />
7) From the menu that pops up, select either bookmark this location (recommended) or navigate to this location.<br />
<br />
8) If you chose to bookmark it, tap actions | bookmarks, then tap your bookmark. Select navigate to this location.<br />
<br />
9) Depending on the distance you asked it to go, Navit should pop up the first driving direction and speak it to you within 5-10 seconds.<br />
<br />
The OSM map data apparently does not contain the concept of a state, so navigating by state/city/street lookup is difficult to impossible. Navigating by bookmark on the map is the only option for the time being.....<br />
<br />
<br />
'''OPTION 2 No GPS needed'''<br />
<br />
The map you see is centred on your last GPS/chosen location. Now you wish to plan a route at another location '''NOT''' on your current map so GPS is not going to work. You will not get a map on the screen for this location until the end of this setup.<br />
<br />
1) Remove all maps except one that includes the locations you plan to use later.<br />
<br />
2) Open bookmarks.txt<br />
<br />
3) add a new line<br />
<br />
mg: longitude latitude type=bookmark label="Location 1"<br />
<br />
Format is longitude and latitude, both in DD.ddd coordinates. For example Honolulu Stadium is -157.829 21.295, note the need for "-" for W longitude and "-" for S latitude.<br />
<br />
4) save bookmarks.txt<br />
<br />
5) Start navit and navigate via bookmarks to "Location 1"<br />
<br />
6) If you want to go from place to place just add more bookmarks, suggest arrange them inside a new folder called "My Trip". <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
''' Changing The Starting position'''<br />
<br />
You might want to change the starting position of navit, especially if you are using Navit without a GPS. You can get your coordinates here: http://itouchmap.com/latlong.html<br />
<br />
You can change the starting position in navit.xml, here :<br />
<br />
<navit gui="..." graphics="..." center="4808 N 1134 E" zoom="128" ><br />
<br />
The latitude and longitude are written as multiplied by 100, i.e. you won't see the decimal point. For example, instead of 48.08, enter 4808.<br />
<br />
== So you want Miles not km? ==<br />

== Summary ==<br />
<br />
[[Image:Navit_icon.png|50px|left]]<br />
Navit is an open source (GPL) car navigation software for Linux systems. It will display your position on a map (in bird-view mode or as a 3D "visualization") from GPS sensor data, and can provide precise route calculation, touch screen functionality and supports Points of Interest (POI), which can be extended via an easy to use plugin system. Unlike other navigation systems, Navit maps are dynamically generated in real time from vector data. Information about Navit can be found [http://wiki.navit-project.org/index.php/Main_Page on the Navit wiki].<br />
<br />
== Where do you get the latest version of Navit for WebOS 1.4.5 and above ? ==<br />
<br />
There is a bug in the OTA (over the air) update from 1.4.1 to 1.4.5 that prevents Navit from working. To check for the bug open a Terminal or Novaterm and issue this command 'cat /etc/fstab|grep internal'. You should get the following line:<br />
<br />
/dev/mapper/store-media /media/internal vfat utf8,shortname=mixed,umask=0000 0 0<br />
<br />
If your line do not have the 'umask=0000' statement then you need to fix this first as explained here => http://developer.palm.com/distribution/viewtopic.php?p=34750<br />
Thanks to Rod there is now an app in The Preware Testing feed that can do the fix for you => http://forums.precentral.net/showthread.php?p=2556103<br />
<br />
Eine Deutsche Anleitung zum beheben des Problemes ist hier zu finden => http://www.nexave.de/forum/39654-fehler-im-ota-1-4-5-update.html<br />
<br />
# Open Preware. Select available applications. Then type 'Navit' and install as any other WebOS application.<br />
# This will automatically install two other needed packages if you not have installed them. The packages are 'speechd' and 'locale'.<br />
# You settings are migrated if you had installed the Navit Alpha before. Then you can skip step 4-8 the rest.<br />
# Now start Navit. You will see the OSD but no map as this will be installed in the next step. This first start will create the default settings and the empty folder for the map.<br />

== Using Map&Guide maps ==<br />
<br />
For all Europe uses. You can get a good Mapset from Amazon for 5 Euro => [http://www.amazon.de/Marco-Polo-Gro%C3%9Fer-Reiseplaner-DVD-ROM/dp/3829731426/ Marco Polo Großer Reiseplaner 2007/2008 (DVD-ROM) auf Amazon.de]<br />
<br />
The disadvantage is that the complete map is 3GB, if you only take Germany and the Major roots of Europe it is still 1GB.<br />
<br />
'''For Linux'''<br />
# Change directory to where DVD is mounted<br />
# Unpack data2.cab with: unshield x travel/data2.cab <br />
# Now, you should get a directory named like DIRLAN_GER.<br />
# Inside you find the maps...<br />
'''For Windows'''<br />
# Install the appliaction<br />
# you find the maps in a folder inside the program folder.<br />
<br />
'''Installing the maps'''<br />
# The dem.map folder with all the majors roads and towns of Europe...<br />
# ...and five smpX.smp folders, which contain the details of countries:<br />
* smp1: DK,S,N,IS,FIN,N<br />
* smp2: F,E,GBZ,P,AND,MC<br />
* smp3: Germany<br />
* smp4: CZ,SK,RSM,EST,GEO,LV,LT,MD,RUS,UA,BY,GR,H,I,RO,CH,A,PL,AL,MT,CY,BG,FL,SRB,MNE,HR,SLO,BIH,MK,TR,AZ,AM,V<br />
* smp5: NL,B,GB,L,IRL <br />
# copy the dem.map folder into a place on your hard drive<br />
# remove all *d60* files from the dem.map folder<br />
# copy the dem.map folder into /MaypsNavit on you usb drive<br />
# copy the smpX.smp folder you need into /MaypsNavit/dem.map folder<br />
# open appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/navit.xml and change the following:<br />
<mapset enabled="yes"><br />
<map type="binfile" enabled="yes" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/*.bin"/><br />
</mapset><br />
to <br />
<mapset enabled="yes"><br />
<map type="binfile" enabled="yes" active="yes" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/osm/*.bin"/><br />
<map type="mg" enabled="yes" active="no" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/dem.map" /><br />
<map type="mg" enabled="yes" active="no" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/dem.map/smp3.smp" /><br />
</mapset><br />
<br />
Now you can switch between the OSM and the M&G maps from the settings/maps menu inside of Navit. The OSM map is the default. To make M&G the default you need to invert the active switches.<br />
<br />
I would expect the the Map&Guide maps for other countries will also work. But you need to find a cheep Product that contains them.<br />
<br />
If you have the m&g and the OSM maps on your USB drive then you can use the index from the m&g maps for searching and the OSM maps for routing and display. To do this you need to add the mapset this way:<br />
<mapset enabled="yes"><br />
<map type="mg" enabled="yes" active="no" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/dem.map/smp3.smp" /><br />
<map type="mg" enabled="yes" active="no" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/dem.map" /><br />
<map type="binfile" enabled="yes" active="yes" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/osm/*.bin"/><br />
</mapset><br />
It looks like Navit uses the street index of the first enabled map even if it is not active.<br />
<br />
== Changing the display of POI (Points of interest) symbols ==<br />
<br />
you can switch every POI symbol off and on, but there is no Menu function to do it. Connect your Pre in USB Mode and open "appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/navit_layout.xml".<br />
<br />
'''Make a backup of the file before you start and be careful. Navit will not start if you mess up the file !!!'''<br />
<br />
This file defines the different layouts that you can select (Car, Car-dark, bike and T@M). Every layout starts with a line like this:<br />
<br />
<layout name="Car" nightlayout="Car-dark" color="#ffefb7" font="Prelude"><br />
.<br />
.<br />
.<br />
</layout><br />
<br />
If you scroll down in the layout you will find the POI definitions. It starts with the line:<br />
<br />
<layer name="POI Symbols"><br />
<br />
For every defined POI symbole you find the following three lines:<br />
<br />
<itemgra item_types="poi_hotel" order="12-"><br />
<icon src="hotel.png"/><br />
</itemgra><br />
<br />
to switch the POI of simply remove the three lines or change them to<br />
<pre><br />
<!-- <itemgra item_types="poi_hotel" order="12-"><br />
<icon src="hotel.png"/><br />
</itemgra> <br />
--><br />
</pre><br />
Then you can switch them on later if you like.<br />
<br />
Navit loads the first layout that is defined in this file on startup. If you like to have a other layout you will need to move it to the beginning of the file. You can find more documentation in the navit_layout.xml file. The current version can be found in the git repository => http://git.webos-internals.org/?p=preware/cross-compile.git;a=blob;f=packages/apps/navit/files/navit_layout.xml<br />
<br />
<br />
== Understanding ISSUES with OpenStreet Maps ==<br />
<br />
There is a list of issues that first time users keep asking about. These are not WEBOS issues but due to how NAVIT operates with OpenStreet maps. Look at <br />
http://wiki.navit-project.org/index.php/OpenStreetMaps#Problems_with_OSM_and_navit_or_navigation_in_general<br />
Look at the section below called "On how to plan a route" for advice.<br />
<br />
== Why don't I get the new skins we see below? ==<br />
Installation of Navit only copies in the new XML files '''''if the Navit.xml is not there'''''. You need to delete the old ones to get the new. '''''Preware does NOT REMOVE THEM!'''''<br />
<br />
<br />
You find the xml files on the USB drive J: (or another drive X: when your Pre is in USB mode (not charge only mode) depending upon your PC setup.<br />
<br />
Located here J:/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/<br />
<br />
To switch between the three skins shown below you need to open the navit.xml in appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/ . At the bottom you find the section where the skin is included.<br />
Remove the comment markers from the skin you plan to use and add them to the current skin. For example to use < !-- <xi:include href="$NAVIT_USER_DATADIR/navit_gui.xml"/> -- > remove the < !-- and the -- > and ADD the same in front and back of the existing skin, for example <xi:include href="$NAVIT_USER_DATADIR/navit_gui_PreNav.xml"/>. There is NO SPACE between the < and -- and similarly between -- and > in the code. The space appears in this wiki text due to formatting issues.<br />
<br />
== Only as a start. Some images of the current skins: ==<br />

== How to get around the menus v3 (still not complete)''' ==<br />
<br />
''As an aside the screen captures don't work on full screen - sorry.''<br />
<br />
Main screen is seen here before GPS lock <br />
<br />
[[Image:Start_screen.png]] (here the last saved GPS position is used to choose the starting map).<br />
<br />
Press your finger on the screen and "push" the map around to get the desired location (where you are now or where you want to go) right into the centre of the screen (if you want to zoom into a location use the + button). Tap the screen and you will get the Main Menu shown here.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Main_menu.png]]<br />
Since we want to go somewhere tap on Actions.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Actions_menu.png]]<br />
Now you have a choice of the Location at the center of the map screen, the location of the car (no good here as GPS has not locked in), the Location of a saved Bookmark, or searching for a Location in your OSM or other map you have already loaded into your Pre at /media/NavitMaps/. Choosing Town we get this screen.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Town_view.png]]<br />
Now unless you live in the USA you can now enter a town. If not tap on the US flag and you should get this screen.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Town_view2.png]]<br />
Now Type in your country eg Au will give at least two countries to choose from. Select one and you will then get to enter a town, the street and then house. Lots of times this does not work too well as the House numbering is not available. In this case follow instructions below on How to Plan a Route. <br />
Here are some FAQ about searching http://wiki.navit-project.org/index.php/OpenStreetMaps#Search_for_my_town_works.2C_but_I_can.27t_find_my_street<br />
<br />
OK I have told NAVIT that I wish to go to my new destination and now its ready to go. <br />
<br />
<br />
[[Image:Navit_OK_to_drive.png]] <br />
<br />
<br />
It shows the way to go as a BIG FAT BLUE line as well as speaking the directions. If you want to read the directions Chooose Route then Description. The voice reads these out as you go along the route. Now Rod Whitby can guess where I live.<br />
<br />
[[Now you want to change from a CAR to a Pedestrian, Horse or BIKE!]]<br />
<br />
Choose the Main Menu, then choose Settings and you will see this<br />
<br />
[[Image:Settings_menu.png]]<br />
Now choose Vehicle and you will see this<br />
<br />
[[Image:Vehicle_screen.png]]<br />
Now select GPS and you will see your last choice which is shown here as a car.<br />
<br />
[[Image:GPS_screen_car.png]]<br />
Press once on the row Change profile to: pedestrian (for example)<br />
Then at the top of the screen press on VEHICLE. This will get you back to the GPS screen. Now if you select GPS again you will get this screen confirming you are now a pedestrian.<br />
<br />
[[Image:GPS_screen_ped.png]]<br />
Enjoy :-)<br />
<br />
[[Changing Map view (or getting rid of all the POIs)]]<br />
<br />
If you want very few POIs the simplest option is MainMenu>>Settings>>Display>>Layout>>T@H<br />
<br />
[[Image:choose T@H.png]] [[Image:T@H view.png]] <br />
Go back to map and you will see hardly any POIs. <br />
<br />
Helpful notes from vreihen on 18 and 26 May 2010 now follow,<br />
<br />
== On starting up issues ie '''why the map layer isn't loading?''' ==<br />
<br />
<br />
When Navit first starts up, it uses the north pole as it's initial position (if I recall correctly) until it gets an initial GPS fix. Your map layer problem may be that the GPS point is still at the north pole, or perhaps outside of the map that you have installed. If you tap on the center of the screen and tap on actions, there will be an icon of a car and an icon of a globe. The car icon is your current position, and should contain a non-zero latitude and longitude if your GPS is working and has a fix. Verify that those coordinates are where you are located before you dig any deeper into the maps as the cause of the missing layer.<br />
<br />
The information panels at the bottom of the screen are only populated when Navit is navigating between two points. Otherwise, they should be blank.<br />
<br />
If all else fails with the maps, you could download the entire planet.bin if you have 3.5 gigs of free USB flash space in your phone to eliminate the map file as the cause of your problem.....<br />
<br />
== '''On how to plan a route''' ==<br />
<br />
'''OPTION 1 with GPS'''<br />
<br />
1) Scroll through the map until you can see the location that you want to drive to.<br />
<br />
2) Zoom in tight on the screen, if necessary. Tap on your destination on the map.<br />
<br />
3) When Navit opens it's main menu, tap on actions.<br />
<br />
4) The car icon should show your current latitude/longitude. <br />
<br />
5) The globe icon should show the destination latitude/longitude that you tapped on the map.<br />
<br />
6) Tap on the globe icon.<br />
<br />
7) From the menu that pops up, select either bookmark this location (recommended) or navigate to this location.<br />
<br />
8) If you chose to bookmark it, tap actions | bookmarks, then tap your bookmark. Select navigate to this location.<br />
<br />
9) Depending on the distance you asked it to go, Navit should pop up the first driving direction and speak it to you within 5-10 seconds.<br />
<br />
The OSM map data apparently does not contain the concept of a state, so navigating by state/city/street lookup is difficult to impossible. Navigating by bookmark on the map is the only option for the time being.....<br />
<br />
<br />
'''OPTION 2 No GPS needed'''<br />
<br />
The map you see is centred on your last GPS/chosen location. Now you wish to plan a route at another location '''NOT''' on your current map so GPS is not going to work. You will not get a map on the screen for this location until the end of this setup.<br />
<br />
1) Remove all maps except one that includes the locations you plan to use later.<br />
<br />
2) Open bookmarks.txt<br />
<br />
3) add a new line<br />
<br />
mg: longitude latitude type=bookmark label="Location 1"<br />
<br />
Format is longitude and latitude, both in DD.ddd coordinates. For example Honolulu Stadium is -157.829 21.295, note the need for "-" for W longitude and "-" for S latitude.<br />
<br />
4) save bookmarks.txt<br />
<br />
5) Start navit and navigate via bookmarks to "Location 1"<br />
<br />
6) If you want to go from place to place just add more bookmarks, suggest arrange them inside a new folder called "My Trip". <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
''' Changing The Starting position'''<br />
<br />
You might want to change the starting position of navit, especially if you are using Navit without a GPS. You can get your coordinates here: http://itouchmap.com/latlong.html<br />
<br />
You can change the starting position in navit.xml, here :<br />
<br />
<navit gui="..." graphics="..." center="4808 N 1134 E" zoom="128" ><br />
<br />
The latitude and longitude are written as multiplied by 100, i.e. you won't see the decimal point. For example, instead of 48.08, enter 4808.<br />
<br />
== So you want Miles not km? ==<br />

== Summary ==<br />
<br />
[[Image:Navit_icon.png|50px|left]]<br />
Navit is an open source (GPL) car navigation software for Linux systems. It will display your position on a map (in bird-view mode or as a 3D "visualization") from GPS sensor data, and can provide precise route calculation, touch screen functionality and supports Points of Interest (POI), which can be extended via an easy to use plugin system. Unlike other navigation systems, Navit maps are dynamically generated in real time from vector data. Information about Navit can be found [http://wiki.navit-project.org/index.php/Main_Page on the Navit wiki].<br />
<br />
== Where do you get the latest version of Navit for WebOS 1.4.5 and above ? ==<br />
<br />
There is a bug in the OTA (over the air) update from 1.4.1 to 1.4.5 that prevents Navit from working. To check for the bug open a Terminal or Novaterm and issue this command 'cat /etc/fstab|grep internal'. You should get the following line:<br />
<br />
/dev/mapper/store-media /media/internal vfat utf8,shortname=mixed,umask=0000 0 0<br />
<br />
If your line do not have the 'umask=0000' statement then you need to fix this first as explained here => http://developer.palm.com/distribution/viewtopic.php?p=34750<br />
Thanks to Rod there is now an app in The Preware Testing feed that can do the fix for you => http://forums.precentral.net/showthread.php?p=2556103<br />
<br />
Eine Deutsche Anleitung zum beheben des Problemes ist hier zu finden => http://www.nexave.de/forum/39654-fehler-im-ota-1-4-5-update.html<br />
<br />
# Open Preware. Select available applications. Then type 'Navit' and install as any other WebOS application.<br />
# This will automatically install two other needed packages if you not have installed them. The packages are 'speechd' and 'locale'.<br />
# You settings are migrated if you had installed the Navit Alpha before. Then you can skip step 4-8 the rest.<br />
# Now start Navit. You will see the OSD but no map as this will be installed in the next step. This first start will create the default settings and the empty folder for the map.<br />

== Using Map&Guide maps ==<br />
<br />
For all Europe uses. You can get a good Mapset from Amazon for 5 Euro => [http://www.amazon.de/Marco-Polo-Gro%C3%9Fer-Reiseplaner-DVD-ROM/dp/3829731426/ Marco Polo Großer Reiseplaner 2007/2008 (DVD-ROM) auf Amazon.de]<br />
<br />
The disadvantage is that the complete map is 3GB, if you only take Germany and the Major roots of Europe it is still 1GB.<br />
<br />
'''For Linux'''<br />
# Change directory to where DVD is mounted<br />
# Unpack data2.cab with: unshield x travel/data2.cab <br />
# Now, you should get a directory named like DIRLAN_GER.<br />
# Inside you find the maps...<br />
'''For Windows'''<br />
# Install the appliaction<br />
# you find the maps in a folder inside the program folder.<br />
<br />
'''Installing the maps'''<br />
# The dem.map folder with all the majors roads and towns of Europe...<br />
# ...and five smpX.smp folders, which contain the details of countries:<br />
* smp1: DK,S,N,IS,FIN,N<br />
* smp2: F,E,GBZ,P,AND,MC<br />
* smp3: Germany<br />
* smp4: CZ,SK,RSM,EST,GEO,LV,LT,MD,RUS,UA,BY,GR,H,I,RO,CH,A,PL,AL,MT,CY,BG,FL,SRB,MNE,HR,SLO,BIH,MK,TR,AZ,AM,V<br />
* smp5: NL,B,GB,L,IRL <br />
# copy the dem.map folder into a place on your hard drive<br />
# remove all *d60* files from the dem.map folder<br />
# copy the dem.map folder into /MaypsNavit on you usb drive<br />
# copy the smpX.smp folder you need into /MaypsNavit/dem.map folder<br />
# open appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/navit.xml and change the following:<br />
<mapset enabled="yes"><br />
<map type="binfile" enabled="yes" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/*.bin"/><br />
</mapset><br />
to <br />
<mapset enabled="yes"><br />
<map type="binfile" enabled="yes" active="yes" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/osm/*.bin"/><br />
<map type="mg" enabled="yes" active="no" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/dem.map" /><br />
<map type="mg" enabled="yes" active="no" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/dem.map/smp3.smp" /><br />
</mapset><br />
<br />
Now you can switch between the OSM and the M&G maps from the settings/maps menu inside of Navit. The OSM map is the default. To make M&G the default you need to invert the active switches.<br />
<br />
I would expect the the Map&Guide maps for other countries will also work. But you need to find a cheep Product that contains them.<br />
<br />
If you have the m&g and the OSM maps on your USB drive then you can use the index from the m&g maps for searching and the OSM maps for routing and display. To do this you need to add the mapset this way:<br />
<mapset enabled="yes"><br />
<map type="mg" enabled="yes" active="no" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/dem.map/smp3.smp" /><br />
<map type="mg" enabled="yes" active="no" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/dem.map" /><br />
<map type="binfile" enabled="yes" active="yes" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/osm/*.bin"/><br />
</mapset><br />
It looks like Navit uses the street index of the first enabled map even if it is not active.<br />
<br />
== Changing the display of POI (Points of interest) symbols ==<br />
<br />
you can switch every POI symbol off and on, but there is no Menu function to do it. Connect your Pre in USB Mode and open "appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/navit_layout.xml".<br />
<br />
'''Make a backup of the file before you start and be careful. Navit will not start if you mess up the file !!!'''<br />
<br />
This file defines the different layouts that you can select (Car, Car-dark, bike and T@M). Every layout starts with a line like this:<br />
<br />
<layout name="Car" nightlayout="Car-dark" color="#ffefb7" font="Prelude"><br />
.<br />
.<br />
.<br />
</layout><br />
<br />
If you scroll down in the layout you will find the POI definitions. It starts with the line:<br />
<br />
<layer name="POI Symbols"><br />
<br />
For every defined POI symbole you find the following three lines:<br />
<br />
<itemgra item_types="poi_hotel" order="12-"><br />
<icon src="hotel.png"/><br />
</itemgra><br />
<br />
to switch the POI of simply remove the three lines or change them to<br />
<pre><br />
<!-- <itemgra item_types="poi_hotel" order="12-"><br />
<icon src="hotel.png"/><br />
</itemgra> <br />
--><br />
</pre><br />
Then you can switch them on later if you like.<br />
<br />
Navit loads the first layout that is defined in this file on startup. If you like to have a other layout you will need to move it to the beginning of the file. You can find more documentation in the navit_layout.xml file. The current version can be found in the git repository => http://git.webos-internals.org/?p=preware/cross-compile.git;a=blob;f=packages/apps/navit/files/navit_layout.xml<br />

== Understanding ISSUES with OpenStreet Maps ==<br />
<br />
There is a list of issues that first time users keep asking about. These are not WEBOS issues but due to how NAVIT operates with OpenStreet maps. Look at <br />
http://wiki.navit-project.org/index.php/OpenStreetMaps#Problems_with_OSM_and_navit_or_navigation_in_general<br />
Look at the section below called "On how to plan a route" for advice.<br />
<br />
== Why don't I get the new skins we see below? ==<br />
Installation of Navit only copies in the new XML files '''''if the Navit.xml is not there'''''. You need to delete the old ones to get the new. '''''Preware does NOT REMOVE THEM!'''''<br />
<br />
<br />
You find the xml files on the USB drive J: (or another drive X: when your Pre is in USB mode (not charge only mode) depending upon your PC setup.<br />
<br />
Located here J:/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/<br />
<br />
To switch between the three skins shown below you need to open the navit.xml in appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/ . At the bottom you find the section where the skin is included.<br />
Remove the comment markers from the skin you plan to use and add them to the current skin. For example to use < !-- <xi:include href="$NAVIT_USER_DATADIR/navit_gui.xml"/> -- > remove the < !-- and the -- > and ADD the same in front and back of the existing skin, for example <xi:include href="$NAVIT_USER_DATADIR/navit_gui_PreNav.xml"/>. There is NO SPACE between the < and -- and similarly between -- and > in the code. The space appears in this wiki text due to formatting issues.<br />
<br />
== Only as a start. Some images of the current skins: ==<br />
<br />
<br />
Skin PreNav:<br />

<br />
== How to get around the menus v3 (still not complete)''' ==<br />
<br />
''As an aside the screen captures don't work on full screen - sorry.''<br />
<br />
Main screen is seen here before GPS lock <br />
<br />
[[Image:Start_screen.png]] (here the last saved GPS position is used to choose the starting map).<br />
<br />
Press your finger on the screen and "push" the map around to get the desired location (where you are now or where you want to go) right into the centre of the screen (if you want to zoom into a location use the + button). Tap the screen and you will get the Main Menu shown here.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Main_menu.png]]<br />
Since we want to go somewhere tap on Actions.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Actions_menu.png]]<br />
Now you have a choice of the Location at the center of the map screen, the location of the car (no good here as GPS has not locked in), the Location of a saved Bookmark, or searching for a Location in your OSM or other map you have already loaded into your Pre at /media/NavitMaps/. Choosing Town we get this screen.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Town_view.png]]<br />
Now unless you live in the USA you can now enter a town. If not tap on the US flag and you should get this screen.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Town_view2.png]]<br />
Now Type in your country eg Au will give at least two countries to choose from. Select one and you will then get to enter a town, the street and then house. Lots of times this does not work too well as the House numbering is not available. In this case follow instructions below on How to Plan a Route. <br />
Here are some FAQ about searching http://wiki.navit-project.org/index.php/OpenStreetMaps#Search_for_my_town_works.2C_but_I_can.27t_find_my_street<br />
<br />
OK I have told NAVIT that I wish to go to my new destination and now its ready to go. <br />
<br />
<br />
[[Image:Navit_OK_to_drive.png]] <br />
<br />
<br />
It shows the way to go as a BIG FAT BLUE line as well as speaking the directions. If you want to read the directions Chooose Route then Description. The voice reads these out as you go along the route. Now Rod Whitby can guess where I live.<br />
<br />
[[Now you want to change from a CAR to a Pedestrian, Horse or BIKE!]]<br />
<br />
Choose the Main Menu, then choose Settings and you will see this<br />
<br />
[[Image:Settings_menu.png]]<br />
Now choose Vehicle and you will see this<br />
<br />
[[Image:Vehicle_screen.png]]<br />
Now select GPS and you will see your last choice which is shown here as a car.<br />
<br />
[[Image:GPS_screen_car.png]]<br />
Press once on the row Change profile to: pedestrian (for example)<br />
Then at the top of the screen press on VEHICLE. This will get you back to the GPS screen. Now if you select GPS again you will get this screen confirming you are now a pedestrian.<br />
<br />
[[Image:GPS_screen_ped.png]]<br />
Enjoy :-)<br />
<br />
[[Changing Map view (or getting rid of all the POIs)]]<br />
<br />
If you want very few POIs the simplest option is MainMenu>>Settings>>Display>>Layout>>T@H<br />
<br />
[[Image:choose T@H.png]] [[Image:T@H view.png]] <br />
Go back to map and you will see hardly any POIs. <br />
<br />
Helpful notes from vreihen on 18 and 26 May 2010 now follow,<br />
<br />
== On starting up issues ie '''why the map layer isn't loading?''' ==<br />
<br />
<br />
When Navit first starts up, it uses the north pole as it's initial position (if I recall correctly) until it gets an initial GPS fix. Your map layer problem may be that the GPS point is still at the north pole, or perhaps outside of the map that you have installed. If you tap on the center of the screen and tap on actions, there will be an icon of a car and an icon of a globe. The car icon is your current position, and should contain a non-zero latitude and longitude if your GPS is working and has a fix. Verify that those coordinates are where you are located before you dig any deeper into the maps as the cause of the missing layer.<br />
<br />
The information panels at the bottom of the screen are only populated when Navit is navigating between two points. Otherwise, they should be blank.<br />
<br />
If all else fails with the maps, you could download the entire planet.bin if you have 3.5 gigs of free USB flash space in your phone to eliminate the map file as the cause of your problem.....<br />
<br />
== '''On how to plan a route''' ==<br />
<br />
'''OPTION 1 with GPS'''<br />
<br />
1) Scroll through the map until you can see the location that you want to drive to.<br />
<br />
2) Zoom in tight on the screen, if necessary. Tap on your destination on the map.<br />
<br />
3) When Navit opens it's main menu, tap on actions.<br />
<br />
4) The car icon should show your current latitude/longitude. <br />
<br />
5) The globe icon should show the destination latitude/longitude that you tapped on the map.<br />
<br />
6) Tap on the globe icon.<br />
<br />
7) From the menu that pops up, select either bookmark this location (recommended) or navigate to this location.<br />
<br />
8) If you chose to bookmark it, tap actions | bookmarks, then tap your bookmark. Select navigate to this location.<br />
<br />
9) Depending on the distance you asked it to go, Navit should pop up the first driving direction and speak it to you within 5-10 seconds.<br />
<br />
The OSM map data apparently does not contain the concept of a state, so navigating by state/city/street lookup is difficult to impossible. Navigating by bookmark on the map is the only option for the time being.....<br />
<br />
<br />
'''OPTION 2 No GPS needed'''<br />
<br />
The map you see is centred on your last GPS/chosen location. Now you wish to plan a route at another location '''NOT''' on your current map so GPS is not going to work. You will not get a map on the screen for this location until the end of this setup.<br />
<br />
1) Remove all maps except one that includes the locations you plan to use later.<br />
<br />
2) Open bookmarks.txt<br />
<br />
3) add a new line<br />
<br />
mg: longitude latitude type=bookmark label="Location 1"<br />
<br />
Format is longitude and latitude, both in DD.ddd coordinates. For example Honolulu Stadium is -157.829 21.295, note the need for "-" for W longitude and "-" for S latitude.<br />
<br />
4) save bookmarks.txt<br />
<br />
5) Start navit and navigate via bookmarks to "Location 1"<br />
<br />
6) If you want to go from place to place just add more bookmarks, suggest arrange them inside a new folder called "My Trip". <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
''' Changing The Starting position'''<br />
<br />
You might want to change the starting position of navit, especially if you are using Navit without a GPS. You can get your coordinates here: http://itouchmap.com/latlong.html<br />
<br />
You can change the starting position in navit.xml, here :<br />
<br />
<navit gui="..." graphics="..." center="4808 N 1134 E" zoom="128" ><br />
<br />
The latitude and longitude are written as multiplied by 100, i.e. you won't see the decimal point. For example, instead of 48.08, enter 4808.<br />
<br />
== So you want Miles not km? ==<br />

== Summary ==<br />
<br />
[[Image:Navit_icon.png|50px|left]]<br />
Navit is an open source (GPL) car navigation software for Linux systems. It will display your position on a map (in bird-view mode or as a 3D "visualization") from GPS sensor data, and can provide precise route calculation, touch screen functionality and supports Points of Interest (POI), which can be extended via an easy to use plugin system. Unlike other navigation systems, Navit maps are dynamically generated in real time from vector data. Information about Navit can be found [http://wiki.navit-project.org/index.php/Main_Page on the Navit wiki].<br />
<br />
== Where do you get the latest version of Navit for WebOS 1.4.5 and above ? ==<br />
<br />
There is a bug in the OTA (over the air) update from 1.4.1 to 1.4.5 that prevents Navit from working. To check for the bug open a Terminal or Novaterm and issue this command 'cat /etc/fstab|grep internal'. You should get the following line:<br />
<br />
/dev/mapper/store-media /media/internal vfat utf8,shortname=mixed,umask=0000 0 0<br />
<br />
If your line do not have the 'umask=0000' statement then you need to fix this first as explained here => http://developer.palm.com/distribution/viewtopic.php?p=34750<br />
Thanks to Rod there is now an app in The Preware Testing feed that can do the fix for you => http://forums.precentral.net/showthread.php?p=2556103<br />

# Open Preware. Select available applications. Then type 'Navit' and install as any other WebOS application.<br />
# This will automatically install two other needed packages if you not have installed them. The packages are 'speechd' and 'locale'.<br />
# You settings are migrated if you had installed the Navit Alpha before. Then you can skip step 4-8 the rest.<br />
# Now start Navit. You will see the OSD but no map as this will be installed in the next step. This first start will create the default settings and the empty folder for the map.<br />

== Using Map&Guide maps ==<br />
<br />
For all Europe uses. You can get a good Mapset from Amazon for 5 Euro => [http://www.amazon.de/Marco-Polo-Gro%C3%9Fer-Reiseplaner-DVD-ROM/dp/3829731426/ Marco Polo Großer Reiseplaner 2007/2008 (DVD-ROM) auf Amazon.de]<br />
<br />
The disadvantage is that the complete map is 3GB, if you only take Germany and the Major roots of Europe it is still 1GB.<br />
<br />
'''For Linux'''<br />
# Change directory to where DVD is mounted<br />
# Unpack data2.cab with: unshield x travel/data2.cab <br />
# Now, you should get a directory named like DIRLAN_GER.<br />
# Inside you find the maps...<br />
'''For Windows'''<br />
# Install the appliaction<br />
# you find the maps in a folder inside the program folder.<br />
<br />
'''Installing the maps'''<br />
# The dem.map folder with all the majors roads and towns of Europe...<br />
# ...and five smpX.smp folders, which contain the details of countries:<br />
* smp1: DK,S,N,IS,FIN,N<br />
* smp2: F,E,GBZ,P,AND,MC<br />
* smp3: Germany<br />
* smp4: CZ,SK,RSM,EST,GEO,LV,LT,MD,RUS,UA,BY,GR,H,I,RO,CH,A,PL,AL,MT,CY,BG,FL,SRB,MNE,HR,SLO,BIH,MK,TR,AZ,AM,V<br />
* smp5: NL,B,GB,L,IRL <br />
# copy the dem.map folder into a place on your hard drive<br />
# remove all *d60* files from the dem.map folder<br />
# copy the dem.map folder into /MaypsNavit on you usb drive<br />
# copy the smpX.smp folder you need into /MaypsNavit/dem.map folder<br />
# open appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/navit.xml and change the following:<br />
<mapset enabled="yes"><br />
<map type="binfile" enabled="yes" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/*.bin"/><br />
</mapset><br />
to <br />
<mapset enabled="yes"><br />
<map type="binfile" enabled="yes" active="yes" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/osm/*.bin"/><br />
<map type="mg" enabled="yes" active="no" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/dem.map" /><br />
<map type="mg" enabled="yes" active="no" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/dem.map/smp3.smp" /><br />
</mapset><br />
<br />
Now you can switch between the OSM and the M&G maps from the settings/maps menu inside of Navit. The OSM map is the default. To make M&G the default you need to invert the active switches.<br />
<br />
I would expect the the Map&Guide maps for other countries will also work. But you need to find a cheep Product that contains them.<br />
<br />
If you have the m&g and the OSM maps on your USB drive then you can use the index from the m&g maps for searching and the OSM maps for routing and display. To do this you need to add the mapset this way:<br />
<mapset enabled="yes"><br />
<map type="mg" enabled="yes" active="no" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/dem.map/smp3.smp" /><br />
<map type="mg" enabled="yes" active="no" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/dem.map" /><br />
<map type="binfile" enabled="yes" active="yes" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/osm/*.bin"/><br />
</mapset><br />
It looks like Navit uses the street index of the first enabled map even if it is not active.<br />
<br />
== Changing the display of POI (Points of interest) symbols ==<br />
<br />
you can switch every POI symbol off and on, but there is no Menu function to do it. Connect your Pre in USB Mode and open "appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/navit_layout.xml".<br />
<br />
'''Make a backup of the file before you start and be careful. Navit will not start if you mess up the file !!!'''<br />
<br />
This file defines the different layouts that you can select (Car, Car-dark, bike and T@M). Every layout starts with a line like this:<br />
<br />
<layout name="Car" nightlayout="Car-dark" color="#ffefb7" font="Prelude"><br />
.<br />
.<br />
.<br />
</layout><br />
<br />
If you scroll down in the layout you will find the POI definitions. It starts with the line:<br />
<br />
<layer name="POI Symbols"><br />
<br />
For every defined POI symbole you find the following three lines:<br />
<br />
<itemgra item_types="poi_hotel" order="12-"><br />
<icon src="hotel.png"/><br />
</itemgra><br />
<br />
to switch the POI of simply remove the three lines or change them to<br />
<pre><br />
<!-- <itemgra item_types="poi_hotel" order="12-"><br />
<icon src="hotel.png"/><br />
</itemgra> <br />
--><br />
</pre><br />
Then you can switch them on later if you like.<br />
<br />
Navit loads the first layout that is defined in this file on startup. If you like to have a other layout you will need to move it to the beginning of the file. You can find more documentation in the navit_layout.xml file. The current version can be found in the git repository => http://git.webos-internals.org/?p=preware/cross-compile.git;a=blob;f=packages/apps/navit/files/navit_layout.xml<br />
<br />
<br />
== Understanding ISSUES with OpenStreet Maps ==<br />
<br />
There is a list of issues that first time users keep asking about. These are not WEBOS issues but due to how NAVIT operates with OpenStreet maps. Look at <br />
http://wiki.navit-project.org/index.php/OpenStreetMaps#Problems_with_OSM_and_navit_or_navigation_in_general<br />
Look at the section below called "On how to plan a route" for advice.<br />
<br />
== Why don't I get the new skins we see below? ==<br />
Installation of Navit only copies in the new XML files '''''if the Navit.xml is not there'''''. You need to delete the old ones to get the new. '''''Preware does NOT REMOVE THEM!'''''<br />
<br />
<br />
You find the xml files on the USB drive J: (or another drive X: when your Pre is in USB mode (not charge only mode) depending upon your PC setup.<br />
<br />
Located here J:/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/<br />
<br />
To switch between the three skins shown below you need to open the navit.xml in appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/ . At the bottom you find the section where the skin is included.<br />
Remove the comment markers from the skin you plan to use and add them to the current skin. For example to use < !-- <xi:include href="$NAVIT_USER_DATADIR/navit_gui.xml"/> -- > remove the < !-- and the -- > and ADD the same in front and back of the existing skin, for example <xi:include href="$NAVIT_USER_DATADIR/navit_gui_PreNav.xml"/>. There is NO SPACE between the < and -- and similarly between -- and > in the code. The space appears in this wiki text due to formatting issues.<br />
<br />
== Only as a start. Some images of the current skins: ==<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
== How to get around the menus v3 (still not complete)''' ==<br />
<br />
''As an aside the screen captures don't work on full screen - sorry.''<br />
<br />
Main screen is seen here before GPS lock <br />
<br />
[[Image:Start_screen.png]] (here the last saved GPS position is used to choose the starting map).<br />
<br />
Press your finger on the screen and "push" the map around to get the desired location (where you are now or where you want to go) right into the centre of the screen (if you want to zoom into a location use the + button). Tap the screen and you will get the Main Menu shown here.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Main_menu.png]]<br />
Since we want to go somewhere tap on Actions.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Actions_menu.png]]<br />
Now you have a choice of the Location at the center of the map screen, the location of the car (no good here as GPS has not locked in), the Location of a saved Bookmark, or searching for a Location in your OSM or other map you have already loaded into your Pre at /media/NavitMaps/. Choosing Town we get this screen.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Town_view.png]]<br />
Now unless you live in the USA you can now enter a town. If not tap on the US flag and you should get this screen.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Town_view2.png]]<br />
Now Type in your country eg Au will give at least two countries to choose from. Select one and you will then get to enter a town, the street and then house. Lots of times this does not work too well as the House numbering is not available. In this case follow instructions below on How to Plan a Route. <br />
Here are some FAQ about searching http://wiki.navit-project.org/index.php/OpenStreetMaps#Search_for_my_town_works.2C_but_I_can.27t_find_my_street<br />
<br />
OK I have told NAVIT that I wish to go to my new destination and now its ready to go. <br />
<br />
<br />
[[Image:Navit_OK_to_drive.png]] <br />
<br />
<br />
It shows the way to go as a BIG FAT BLUE line as well as speaking the directions. If you want to read the directions Chooose Route then Description. The voice reads these out as you go along the route. Now Rod Whitby can guess where I live.<br />
<br />
[[Now you want to change from a CAR to a Pedestrian, Horse or BIKE!]]<br />
<br />
Choose the Main Menu, then choose Settings and you will see this<br />
<br />
[[Image:Settings_menu.png]]<br />
Now choose Vehicle and you will see this<br />
<br />
[[Image:Vehicle_screen.png]]<br />
Now select GPS and you will see your last choice which is shown here as a car.<br />
<br />
[[Image:GPS_screen_car.png]]<br />
Press once on the row Change profile to: pedestrian (for example)<br />
Then at the top of the screen press on VEHICLE. This will get you back to the GPS screen. Now if you select GPS again you will get this screen confirming you are now a pedestrian.<br />
<br />
[[Image:GPS_screen_ped.png]]<br />
Enjoy :-)<br />
<br />
[[Changing Map view (or getting rid of all the POIs)]]<br />
<br />
If you want very few POIs the simplest option is MainMenu>>Settings>>Display>>Layout>>T@H<br />
<br />
[[Image:choose T@H.png]] [[Image:T@H view.png]] <br />
Go back to map and you will see hardly any POIs. <br />
<br />
Helpful notes from vreihen on 18 and 26 May 2010 now follow,<br />
<br />
== On starting up issues ie '''why the map layer isn't loading?''' ==<br />
<br />
<br />
When Navit first starts up, it uses the north pole as it's initial position (if I recall correctly) until it gets an initial GPS fix. Your map layer problem may be that the GPS point is still at the north pole, or perhaps outside of the map that you have installed. If you tap on the center of the screen and tap on actions, there will be an icon of a car and an icon of a globe. The car icon is your current position, and should contain a non-zero latitude and longitude if your GPS is working and has a fix. Verify that those coordinates are where you are located before you dig any deeper into the maps as the cause of the missing layer.<br />
<br />
The information panels at the bottom of the screen are only populated when Navit is navigating between two points. Otherwise, they should be blank.<br />
<br />
If all else fails with the maps, you could download the entire planet.bin if you have 3.5 gigs of free USB flash space in your phone to eliminate the map file as the cause of your problem.....<br />
<br />
== '''On how to plan a route''' ==<br />
<br />
'''OPTION 1 with GPS'''<br />
<br />
1) Scroll through the map until you can see the location that you want to drive to.<br />
<br />
2) Zoom in tight on the screen, if necessary. Tap on your destination on the map.<br />
<br />
3) When Navit opens it's main menu, tap on actions.<br />
<br />
4) The car icon should show your current latitude/longitude. <br />
<br />
5) The globe icon should show the destination latitude/longitude that you tapped on the map.<br />
<br />
6) Tap on the globe icon.<br />
<br />
7) From the menu that pops up, select either bookmark this location (recommended) or navigate to this location.<br />
<br />
8) If you chose to bookmark it, tap actions | bookmarks, then tap your bookmark. Select navigate to this location.<br />
<br />
9) Depending on the distance you asked it to go, Navit should pop up the first driving direction and speak it to you within 5-10 seconds.<br />
<br />
The OSM map data apparently does not contain the concept of a state, so navigating by state/city/street lookup is difficult to impossible. Navigating by bookmark on the map is the only option for the time being.....<br />
<br />
<br />
'''OPTION 2 No GPS needed'''<br />
<br />
The map you see is centred on your last GPS/chosen location. Now you wish to plan a route at another location '''NOT''' on your current map so GPS is not going to work. You will not get a map on the screen for this location until the end of this setup.<br />
<br />
1) Remove all maps except one that includes the locations you plan to use later.<br />
<br />
2) Open bookmarks.txt<br />
<br />
3) add a new line<br />
<br />
mg: longitude latitude type=bookmark label="Location 1"<br />
<br />
Format is longitude and latitude, both in DD.ddd coordinates. For example Honolulu Stadium is -157.829 21.295, note the need for "-" for W longitude and "-" for S latitude.<br />
<br />
4) save bookmarks.txt<br />
<br />
5) Start navit and navigate via bookmarks to "Location 1"<br />
<br />
6) If you want to go from place to place just add more bookmarks, suggest arrange them inside a new folder called "My Trip". <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
''' Changing The Starting position'''<br />
<br />
You might want to change the starting position of navit, especially if you are using Navit without a GPS. You can get your coordinates here: http://itouchmap.com/latlong.html<br />
<br />
You can change the starting position in navit.xml, here :<br />
<br />
<navit gui="..." graphics="..." center="4808 N 1134 E" zoom="128" ><br />
<br />
The latitude and longitude are written as multiplied by 100, i.e. you won't see the decimal point. For example, instead of 48.08, enter 4808.<br />
<br />
== So you want Miles not km? ==<br />

== Summary ==<br />
<br />
[[Image:Navit_icon.png|50px|left]]<br />
Navit is an open source (GPL) car navigation software for Linux systems. It will display your position on a map (in bird-view mode or as a 3D "visualization") from GPS sensor data, and can provide precise route calculation, touch screen functionality and supports Points of Interest (POI), which can be extended via an easy to use plugin system. Unlike other navigation systems, Navit maps are dynamically generated in real time from vector data. Information about Navit can be found [http://wiki.navit-project.org/index.php/Main_Page on the Navit wiki].<br />
<br />
== Where do you get the latest version of Navit for WebOS 1.4.5 and above ? ==<br />
<br />
There is a bug in the OTA (over the air) update from 1.4.1 to 1.4.5 that prevents Navit from working. To check for the bug open a Terminal or Novaterm and issue this command 'cat /etc/fstab|grep internal'. You should get the following line:<br />
<br />
/dev/mapper/store-media /media/internal vfat utf8,shortname=mixed,umask=0000 0 0<br />
<br />
If your line do not have the 'umask=0000' statement then you need to fix this first as explained here => http://developer.palm.com/distribution/viewtopic.php?p=34750<br />
Thanks to Rod there is now an app in The Preware Testing feed that can do the fix for you => http://forums.precentral.net/showthread.php?p=2556103<br />

# Open Preware. Select available applications. Then type 'Navit' and install as any other WebOS application.<br />
# This will automatically install two other needed packages if you not have installed them. The packages are 'speechd' and 'locale'.<br />
# You settings are migrated if you had installed the Navit Alpha before. Then you can skip step 4-8 the rest.<br />

== Using Map&Guide maps ==<br />
<br />
For all Europe uses. You can get a good Mapset from Amazon for 5 Euro => [http://www.amazon.de/Marco-Polo-Gro%C3%9Fer-Reiseplaner-DVD-ROM/dp/3829731426/ Marco Polo Großer Reiseplaner 2007/2008 (DVD-ROM) auf Amazon.de]<br />
<br />
The disadvantage is that the complete map is 3GB, if you only take Germany and the Major roots of Europe it is still 1GB.<br />
<br />
'''For Linux'''<br />
# Change directory to where DVD is mounted<br />
# Unpack data2.cab with: unshield x travel/data2.cab <br />
# Now, you should get a directory named like DIRLAN_GER.<br />
# Inside you find the maps...<br />
'''For Windows'''<br />
# Install the appliaction<br />
# you find the maps in a folder inside the program folder.<br />
<br />
'''Installing the maps'''<br />
# The dem.map folder with all the majors roads and towns of Europe...<br />
# ...and five smpX.smp folders, which contain the details of countries:<br />

# open appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/navit.xml and change the following:<br />
<mapset enabled="yes"><br />
<map type="binfile" enabled="yes" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/*.bin"/><br />
</mapset><br />
to <br />
<mapset enabled="yes"><br />
<map type="binfile" enabled="yes" active="yes" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/osm/*.bin"/><br />
<map type="mg" enabled="yes" active="no" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/dem.map" /><br />
<map type="mg" enabled="yes" active="no" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/dem.map/smp3.smp" /><br />
</mapset><br />
<br />
Now you can switch between the OSM and the M&G maps from the settings/maps menu inside of Navit. The OSM map is the default. To make M&G the default you need to invert the active switches.<br />
<br />
I would expect the the Map&Guide maps for other countries will also work. But you need to find a cheep Product that contains them.<br />
<br />
If you have the m&g and the OSM maps on your USB drive then you can use the index from the m&g maps for searching and the OSM maps for routing and display. To do this you need to add the mapset this way:<br />
<mapset enabled="yes"><br />
<map type="mg" enabled="yes" active="no" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/dem.map/smp3.smp" /><br />
<map type="mg" enabled="yes" active="no" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/dem.map" /><br />
<map type="binfile" enabled="yes" active="yes" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/osm/*.bin"/><br />
</mapset><br />
It looks like Navit uses the street index of the first enabled map even if it is not active.<br />
<br />
== Changing the display of POI (Points of interest) symbols ==<br />
<br />
you can switch every POI symbol off and on, but there is no Menu function to do it. Connect your Pre in USB Mode and open "appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/navit_layout.xml".<br />
<br />
'''Make a backup of the file before you start and be careful. Navit will not start if you mess up the file !!!'''<br />
<br />
This file defines the different layouts that you can select (Car, Car-dark, bike and T@M). Every layout starts with a line like this:<br />
<br />
<layout name="Car" nightlayout="Car-dark" color="#ffefb7" font="Prelude"><br />
.<br />
.<br />
.<br />
</layout><br />
<br />
If you scroll down in the layout you will find the POI definitions. It starts with the line:<br />
<br />
<layer name="POI Symbols"><br />
<br />
For every defined POI symbole you find the following three lines:<br />
<br />
<itemgra item_types="poi_hotel" order="12-"><br />
<icon src="hotel.png"/><br />
</itemgra><br />
<br />
to switch the POI of simply remove the three lines or change them to<br />
<pre><br />
<!-- <itemgra item_types="poi_hotel" order="12-"><br />
<icon src="hotel.png"/><br />
</itemgra> <br />
--><br />
</pre><br />
Then you can switch them on later if you like.<br />
<br />
Navit loads the first layout that is defined in this file on startup. If you like to have a other layout you will need to move it to the beginning of the file. You can find more documentation in the navit_layout.xml file. The current version can be found in the git repository => http://git.webos-internals.org/?p=preware/cross-compile.git;a=blob;f=packages/apps/navit/files/navit_layout.xml<br />
<br />
<br />
== Understanding ISSUES with OpenStreet Maps ==<br />
<br />
There is a list of issues that first time users keep asking about. These are not WEBOS issues but due to how NAVIT operates with OpenStreet maps. Look at <br />
http://wiki.navit-project.org/index.php/OpenStreetMaps#Problems_with_OSM_and_navit_or_navigation_in_general<br />
Look at the section below called "On how to plan a route" for advice.<br />
<br />
== Why don't I get the new skins we see below? ==<br />
Installation of Navit only copies in the new XML files '''''if the Navit.xml is not there'''''. You need to delete the old ones to get the new. '''''Preware does NOT REMOVE THEM!'''''<br />
<br />
<br />
You find the xml files on the USB drive J: (or another drive X: when your Pre is in USB mode (not charge only mode) depending upon your PC setup.<br />
<br />
Located here J:/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/<br />
<br />
To switch between the three skins shown below you need to open the navit.xml in appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/ . At the bottom you find the section where the skin is included.<br />
Remove the comment markers from the skin you plan to use and add them to the current skin. For example to use < !-- <xi:include href="$NAVIT_USER_DATADIR/navit_gui.xml"/> -- > remove the < !-- and the -- > and ADD the same in front and back of the existing skin, for example <xi:include href="$NAVIT_USER_DATADIR/navit_gui_PreNav.xml"/>. There is NO SPACE between the < and -- and similarly between -- and > in the code. The space appears in this wiki text due to formatting issues.<br />
<br />
== Only as a start. Some images of the current skins: ==<br />
<br />
<br />

== How to get around the menus v3 (still not complete)''' ==<br />
<br />
''As an aside the screen captures don't work on full screen - sorry.''<br />
<br />
Main screen is seen here before GPS lock <br />
<br />
[[Image:Start_screen.png]] (here the last saved GPS position is used to choose the starting map).<br />
<br />
Press your finger on the screen and "push" the map around to get the desired location (where you are now or where you want to go) right into the centre of the screen (if you want to zoom into a location use the + button). Tap the screen and you will get the Main Menu shown here.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Main_menu.png]]<br />
Since we want to go somewhere tap on Actions.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Actions_menu.png]]<br />
Now you have a choice of the Location at the center of the map screen, the location of the car (no good here as GPS has not locked in), the Location of a saved Bookmark, or searching for a Location in your OSM or other map you have already loaded into your Pre at /media/NavitMaps/. Choosing Town we get this screen.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Town_view.png]]<br />
Now unless you live in the USA you can now enter a town. If not tap on the US flag and you should get this screen.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Town_view2.png]]<br />
Now Type in your country eg Au will give at least two countries to choose from. Select one and you will then get to enter a town, the street and then house. Lots of times this does not work too well as the House numbering is not available. In this case follow instructions below on How to Plan a Route. <br />
Here are some FAQ about searching http://wiki.navit-project.org/index.php/OpenStreetMaps#Search_for_my_town_works.2C_but_I_can.27t_find_my_street<br />
<br />
OK I have told NAVIT that I wish to go to my new destination and now its ready to go. <br />
<br />
<br />
[[Image:Navit_OK_to_drive.png]] <br />
<br />
<br />
It shows the way to go as a BIG FAT BLUE line as well as speaking the directions. If you want to read the directions Chooose Route then Description. The voice reads these out as you go along the route. Now Rod Whitby can guess where I live.<br />
<br />
[[Now you want to change from a CAR to a Pedestrian, Horse or BIKE!]]<br />
<br />
Choose the Main Menu, then choose Settings and you will see this<br />
<br />
[[Image:Settings_menu.png]]<br />
Now choose Vehicle and you will see this<br />
<br />
[[Image:Vehicle_screen.png]]<br />
Now select GPS and you will see your last choice which is shown here as a car.<br />
<br />
[[Image:GPS_screen_car.png]]<br />
Press once on the row Change profile to: pedestrian (for example)<br />
Then at the top of the screen press on VEHICLE. This will get you back to the GPS screen. Now if you select GPS again you will get this screen confirming you are now a pedestrian.<br />
<br />
[[Image:GPS_screen_ped.png]]<br />
Enjoy :-)<br />
<br />
[[Changing Map view (or getting rid of all the POIs)]]<br />
<br />
If you want very few POIs the simplest option is MainMenu>>Settings>>Display>>Layout>>T@H<br />
<br />
[[Image:choose T@H.png]] [[Image:T@H view.png]] <br />
Go back to map and you will see hardly any POIs. <br />
<br />
Helpful notes from vreihen on 18 and 26 May 2010 now follow,<br />
<br />
== On starting up issues ie '''why the map layer isn't loading?''' ==<br />
<br />
<br />
When Navit first starts up, it uses the north pole as it's initial position (if I recall correctly) until it gets an initial GPS fix. Your map layer problem may be that the GPS point is still at the north pole, or perhaps outside of the map that you have installed. If you tap on the center of the screen and tap on actions, there will be an icon of a car and an icon of a globe. The car icon is your current position, and should contain a non-zero latitude and longitude if your GPS is working and has a fix. Verify that those coordinates are where you are located before you dig any deeper into the maps as the cause of the missing layer.<br />
<br />
The information panels at the bottom of the screen are only populated when Navit is navigating between two points. Otherwise, they should be blank.<br />
<br />
If all else fails with the maps, you could download the entire planet.bin if you have 3.5 gigs of free USB flash space in your phone to eliminate the map file as the cause of your problem.....<br />
<br />
== '''On how to plan a route''' ==<br />
<br />
<br />
1) Scroll through the map until you can see the location that you want to drive to.<br />
<br />
2) Zoom in tight on the screen, if necessary. Tap on your destination on the map.<br />
<br />
3) When Navit opens it's main menu, tap on actions.<br />
<br />
4) The car icon should show your current latitude/longitude. (Just saying)<br />
<br />
5) The globe icon should show the destination latitude/longitude that you tapped on the map.<br />
<br />
6) Tap on the globe icon.<br />
<br />
7) From the menu that pops up, select either bookmark this location (recommended) or navigate to this location.<br />
<br />
8) If you chose to bookmark it, tap actions | bookmarks, then tap your bookmark. Select navigate to this location.<br />
<br />
9) Depending on the distance you asked it to go, Navit should pop up the first driving direction and speak it to you within 5-10 seconds.<br />
<br />
The OSM map data apparently does not contain the concept of a state, so navigating by state/city/street lookup is difficult to impossible. Navigating by bookmark on the map is the only option for the time being.....<br />
<br />
''' Changing The Starting position'''<br />
<br />
You might want to change the starting position of navit, especially if you are using Navit without a GPS. You can get your coordinates here: http://itouchmap.com/latlong.html<br />
<br />
You can change the starting position in navit.xml, here :<br />
<br />
<navit gui="..." graphics="..." center="4808 N 1134 E" zoom="128" ><br />
<br />
The latitude and longitude are written as multiplied by 100, i.e. you won't see the decimal point. For example, instead of 48.08, enter 4808.<br />
<br />
<br />

== Summary ==<br />
<br />
[[Image:Navit_icon.png|50px|left]]<br />
Navit is an open source (GPL) car navigation software for Linux systems. It will display your position on a map (in bird-view mode or as a 3D "visualization") from GPS sensor data, and can provide precise route calculation, touch screen functionality and supports Points of Interest (POI), which can be extended via an easy to use plugin system. Unlike other navigation systems, Navit maps are dynamically generated in real time from vector data. Information about Navit can be found [http://wiki.navit-project.org/index.php/Main_Page on the Navit wiki].<br />
<br />
== Where do you get the latest version of Navit for WebOS 1.4.5 and above ? ==<br />
<br />
There is a bug in the OTA (over the air) update from 1.4.1 to 1.4.5 that prevents Navit from working. To check for the bug open a Terminal or Novaterm and issue this command 'cat /etc/fstab|grep internal'. You should get the following line:<br />
<br />
/dev/mapper/store-media /media/internal vfat utf8,shortname=mixed,umask=0000 0 0<br />
<br />
If your line do not have the 'umask=0000' statement then you need to fix this first as explained here => http://developer.palm.com/distribution/viewtopic.php?p=34750<br />
Thanks to Rod there is now an app in The Preware Testing feed that can do the fix for you => http://forums.precentral.net/showthread.php?p=2556103<br />
<br />

# Open Preware. Select available applications. Then type 'Navit' and install as any other WebOS application.<br />
# This will automatically install two other needed packages if you not have installed them. The packages are 'speechd' and 'locale'.<br />
# You settings are migrated if you had installed the Navit Alpha before. Then you can skip step 4-8 the rest.<br />
# Now start Navit. You will see the OSD but no map as this will be installed in the next step. This first start will create the default settings and the emty folder for the map.<br />

== Using Map&Guide maps ==<br />
<br />
For all Europe uses. You can get a good Mapset from Amazon for 5 Euro => [http://www.amazon.de/Marco-Polo-Gro%C3%9Fer-Reiseplaner-DVD-ROM/dp/3829731426/ Marco Polo Großer Reiseplaner 2007/2008 (DVD-ROM) auf Amazon.de]<br />
<br />
The disadvantage is that the complete map is 3GB, if you only take Germany and the Major roots of Europe it is still 1GB.<br />
<br />
'''For Linux'''<br />
# Change directory to where DVD is mounted<br />
# Unpack data2.cab with: unshield x travel/data2.cab <br />
# Now, you should get a directory named like DIRLAN_GER.<br />
# Inside you find the maps...<br />
'''For Windows'''<br />
# Install the appliaction<br />
# you find the maps in a folder inside the program folder.<br />
<br />
'''Installing the maps'''<br />

# copy the dem.map folder into /MaypsNavit on you usb drive<br />
# copy the smpX.smp folder you need into /MaypsNavit/dem.map folder<br />
# open appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/navit.xml and change the following:<br />
<mapset enabled="yes"><br />
<map type="binfile" enabled="yes" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/*.bin"/><br />
</mapset><br />
to <br />
<mapset enabled="yes"><br />
<map type="binfile" enabled="yes" active="yes" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/osm/*.bin"/><br />
<map type="mg" enabled="yes" active="no" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/dem.map" /><br />
<map type="mg" enabled="yes" active="no" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/dem.map/smp3.smp" /><br />
</mapset><br />
<br />
Now you can switch between the OSM and the M&G maps from the settings/maps menu inside of Navit. The OSM map is the default. To make M&G the default you need to invert the active switches.<br />
<br />
I would expect the the Map&Guide maps for other countries will also work. But you need to find a cheep Product that contains them.<br />
<br />
If you have the m&g and the OSM maps on your USB drive then you can use the index from the m&g maps for searching and the OSM maps for routing and display. To do this you need to add the mapset this way:<br />
<mapset enabled="yes"><br />
<map type="mg" enabled="yes" active="no" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/dem.map/smp3.smp" /><br />
<map type="mg" enabled="yes" active="no" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/dem.map" /><br />
<map type="binfile" enabled="yes" active="yes" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/osm/*.bin"/><br />
</mapset><br />
It looks like Navit uses the street index of the first enabled map even if it is not active.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Understanding ISSUES with OpenStreet Maps ==<br />
<br />
There is a list of issues that first time users keep asking about. These are not WEBOS issues but due to how NAVIT operates with OpenStreet maps. Look at <br />
http://wiki.navit-project.org/index.php/OpenStreetMaps#Problems_with_OSM_and_navit_or_navigation_in_general<br />
Look at the section below called "On how to plan a route" for advice.<br />
<br />
== Why don't I get the new skins we see below? ==<br />
Installation of Navit only copies in the new XML files '''''if the Navit.xml is not there'''''. You need to delete the old ones to get the new. '''''Preware does NOT REMOVE THEM!'''''<br />
<br />
<br />
You find the xml files on the USB drive J: (or another drive X: when your Pre is in USB mode (not charge only mode) depending upon your PC setup.<br />
<br />
Located here J:/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/<br />
<br />
To switch between the three skins shown below you need to open the navit.xml in appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/ . At the bottom you find the section where the skin is included.<br />
Remove the comment markers from the skin you plan to use and add them to the current skin. For example to use < !-- <xi:include href="$NAVIT_USER_DATADIR/navit_gui.xml"/> -- > remove the < !-- and the -- > and ADD the same in front and back of the existing skin, for example <xi:include href="$NAVIT_USER_DATADIR/navit_gui_PreNav.xml"/>. There is NO SPACE between the < and -- and similarly between -- and > in the code. The space appears in this wiki text due to formatting issues.<br />
<br />
== Only as a start. Some images of the current skins: ==<br />
<br />
<br />
Skin PreNav:<br />
<br />
[[Image:PreNav-L.JPG]]<br />
[[Image:PreNav-P.JPG]]<br />

== How to get around the menus v3 (still not complete)''' ==<br />
<br />
''As an aside the screen captures don't work on full screen - sorry.''<br />
<br />
Main screen is seen here before GPS lock <br />
<br />
[[Image:Start_screen.png]] (here the last saved GPS position is used to choose the starting map).<br />
<br />
Press your finger on the screen and "push" the map around to get the desired location (where you are now or where you want to go) right into the centre of the screen (if you want to zoom into a location use the + button). Tap the screen and you will get the Main Menu shown here.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Main_menu.png]]<br />
Since we want to go somewhere tap on Actions.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Actions_menu.png]]<br />
Now you have a choice of the Location at the center of the map screen, the location of the car (no good here as GPS has not locked in), the Location of a saved Bookmark, or searching for a Location in your OSM or other map you have already loaded into your Pre at /media/NavitMaps/. Choosing Town we get this screen.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Town_view.png]]<br />
Now unless you live in the USA you can now enter a town. If not tap on the US flag and you should get this screen.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Town_view2.png]]<br />
Now Type in your country eg Au will give at least two countries to choose from. Select one and you will then get to enter a town, the street and then house. Lots of times this does not work too well as the House numbering is not available. In this case follow instructions below on How to Plan a Route. <br />
<br />
OK I have told NAVIT that I wish to go to my new destination and now its ready to go. <br />
<br />
<br />
[[Image:Navit_OK_to_drive.png]] <br />
<br />
<br />
It shows the way to go as a BIG FAT BLUE line as well as speaking the directions. If you want to read the directions Chooose Route then Description. The voice reads these out as you go along the route. Now Rod Whitby can guess where I live.<br />
<br />
[[Now you want to change from a CAR to a Pedestrian, Horse or BIKE!]]<br />
<br />
Choose the Main Menu, then choose Settings and you will see this<br />
<br />
[[Image:Settings_menu.png]]<br />
Now choose Vehicle and you will see this<br />
<br />
[[Image:Vehicle_screen.png]]<br />
Now select GPS and you will see your last choice which is shown here as a car.<br />
<br />
[[Image:GPS_screen_car.png]]<br />
Press once on the row Change profile to: pedestrian (for example)<br />
Then at the top of the screen press on VEHICLE. This will get you back to the GPS screen. Now if you select GPS again you will get this screen confirming you are now a pedestrian.<br />
<br />
[[Image:GPS_screen_ped.png]]<br />
Enjoy :-)<br />
<br />
[[Changing Map view (or getting rid of all the POIs)]]<br />
<br />
If you want very few POIs the simplest option is MainMenu>>Settings>>Display>>Layout>>T@H<br />
<br />
[[Image:choose T@H.png]] [[Image:T@H view.png]] <br />
Go back to map and you will see hardly any POIs. <br />
<br />
Helpful notes from vreihen on 18 and 26 May 2010 now follow,<br />
<br />
== On starting up issues ie '''why the map layer isn't loading?''' ==<br />
<br />
<br />
When Navit first starts up, it uses the north pole as it's initial position (if I recall correctly) until it gets an initial GPS fix. Your map layer problem may be that the GPS point is still at the north pole, or perhaps outside of the map that you have installed. If you tap on the center of the screen and tap on actions, there will be an icon of a car and an icon of a globe. The car icon is your current position, and should contain a non-zero latitude and longitude if your GPS is working and has a fix. Verify that those coordinates are where you are located before you dig any deeper into the maps as the cause of the missing layer.<br />
<br />
The information panels at the bottom of the screen are only populated when Navit is navigating between two points. Otherwise, they should be blank.<br />
<br />
If all else fails with the maps, you could download the entire planet.bin if you have 3.5 gigs of free USB flash space in your phone to eliminate the map file as the cause of your problem.....<br />
<br />
== '''On how to plan a route''' ==<br />
<br />
<br />
1) Scroll through the map until you can see the location that you want to drive to.<br />
<br />
2) Zoom in tight on the screen, if necessary. Tap on your destination on the map.<br />
<br />
3) When Navit opens it's main menu, tap on actions.<br />
<br />
4) The car icon should show your current latitude/longitude. (Just saying)<br />
<br />
5) The globe icon should show the destination latitude/longitude that you tapped on the map.<br />
<br />
6) Tap on the globe icon.<br />
<br />
7) From the menu that pops up, select either bookmark this location (recommended) or navigate to this location.<br />
<br />
8) If you chose to bookmark it, tap actions | bookmarks, then tap your bookmark. Select navigate to this location.<br />
<br />
9) Depending on the distance you asked it to go, Navit should pop up the first driving direction and speak it to you within 5-10 seconds.<br />
<br />
The OSM map data apparently does not contain the concept of a state, so navigating by state/city/street lookup is difficult to impossible. Navigating by bookmark on the map is the only option for the time being.....<br />
<br />
''' Changing The Starting position'''<br />
<br />
You might want to change the starting position of navit, especially if you are using Navit without a GPS. You can get your coordinates here: http://itouchmap.com/latlong.html<br />
<br />
You can change the starting position in navit.xml, here :<br />
<br />
<navit gui="..." graphics="..." center="4808 N 1134 E" zoom="128" ><br />
<br />
The latitude and longitude are written as multiplied by 100, i.e. you won't see the decimal point. For example, instead of 48.08, enter 4808.<br />
<br />
<br />

== Summary ==<br />
<br />
[[Image:Navit_icon.png|50px|left]]<br />
Navit is an open source (GPL) car navigation software for Linux systems. It will display your position on a map (in bird-view mode or as a 3D "visualization") from GPS sensor data, and can provide precise route calculation, touch screen functionality and supports Points of Interest (POI), which can be extended via an easy to use plugin system. Unlike other navigation systems, Navit maps are dynamically generated in real time from vector data. Information about Navit can be found [http://wiki.navit-project.org/index.php/Main_Page on the Navit wiki].<br />
<br />
== Where do you get the latest version of Navit for WebOS 1.4.5 and above ? ==<br />
<br />
There is a bug in the OTA (over the air) update from 1.4.1 to 1.4.5 that prevents Navit from working. To check for the bug open a Terminal or Novaterm and issue this command 'cat /etc/fstab|grep internal'. You should get the following line:<br />
<br />
/dev/mapper/store-media /media/internal vfat utf8,shortname=mixed,umask=0000 0 0<br />
<br />
If your line do not have the 'umask=0000' statement then you need to fix this first as explained here => http://developer.palm.com/distribution/viewtopic.php?p=34750<br />
Thanks to Rod there is now an app in The Preware Testing feed that can do the fix for you => http://forums.precentral.net/showthread.php?p=2556103<br />
<br />
Eine Deutsche Anleitung zum beheben des Problemes ist hier zu finden => http://www.nexave.de/forum/39654-fehler-im-ota-1-4-5-update.html<br />
<br />
# Open Preware. Select available applications. Then type 'Navit' and install as any other WebOS application.<br />
# This will automatically install two other needed packages if you not have installed them. The packages are 'speechd' and 'locale'.<br />
# You settings are migrated if you had installed the Navit Alpha before. Then you can skip step 4-8 the rest.<br />
# Now start Navit. You will see the OSD but no map as this will be installed in the next step. This first start will create the default settings and the emty folder for the map.<br />

== Using Map&Guide maps ==<br />
<br />
For all Europe uses. You can get a good Mapset from Amazon for 5 Euro => [http://www.amazon.de/Marco-Polo-Gro%C3%9Fer-Reiseplaner-DVD-ROM/dp/3829731426/ Marco Polo Großer Reiseplaner 2007/2008 (DVD-ROM) auf Amazon.de]<br />
<br />
The disadvantage is that the complete map is 3GB, if you only take Germany and the Major roots of Europe it is still 1GB.<br />
<br />
'''For Linux'''<br />
# Change directory to where DVD is mounted<br />
# Unpack data2.cab with: unshield x travel/data2.cab <br />
# Now, you should get a directory named like DIRLAN_GER.<br />
# Inside you find the maps...<br />
'''For Windows'''<br />
# Install the appliaction<br />
# you find the maps in a folder inside the program folder.<br />
<br />
'''Installing the maps'''<br />
# The dem.map folder with all the majors roads and towns of Europe...<br />
# ...and five smpX.smp folders, which contain the details of countries:<br />
* smp1: DK,S,N,IS,FIN,N<br />
* smp2: F,E,GBZ,P,AND,MC<br />
* smp3: Germany<br />
* smp4: CZ,SK,RSM,EST,GEO,LV,LT,MD,RUS,UA,BY,GR,H,I,RO,CH,A,PL,AL,MT,CY,BG,FL,SRB,MNE,HR,SLO,BIH,MK,TR,AZ,AM,V<br />
* smp5: NL,B,GB,L,IRL <br />
# copy the dem.map folder into a place on your hard drive<br />
# remove all *d60* files from the dem.map folder<br />
# copy the dem.map folder into /MaypsNavit on you usb drive<br />
# copy the smpX.smp folder you need into /MaypsNavit/dem.map folder<br />
# open appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/navit.xml and change the following:<br />
<mapset enabled="yes"><br />
<map type="binfile" enabled="yes" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/*.bin"/><br />
</mapset><br />
to <br />
<mapset enabled="yes"><br />
<map type="binfile" enabled="yes" active="yes" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/osm/*.bin"/><br />
<map type="mg" enabled="yes" active="no" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/dem.map" /><br />
<map type="mg" enabled="yes" active="no" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/dem.map/smp3.smp" /><br />
</mapset><br />
<br />
Now you can switch between the OSM and the M&G maps from the settings/maps menu inside of Navit. The OSM map is the default. To make M&G the default you need to invert the active switches.<br />
<br />
I would expect the the Map&Guide maps for other countries will also work. But you need to find a cheep Product that contains them.<br />
<br />
If you have the m&g and the OSM maps on your USB drive then you can use the index from the m&g maps for searching and the OSM maps for routing and display. To do this you need to add the mapset this way:<br />
<mapset enabled="yes"><br />
<map type="mg" enabled="yes" active="no" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/dem.map/smp3.smp" /><br />
<map type="mg" enabled="yes" active="no" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/dem.map" /><br />
<map type="binfile" enabled="yes" active="yes" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/osm/*.bin"/><br />
</mapset><br />
It looks like Navit uses the street index of the first enabled map even if it is not active.<br />
<br />

<br />
There is a list of issues that first time users keep asking about. These are not WEBOS issues but due to how NAVIT operates with OpenStreet maps. Look at <br />
http://wiki.navit-project.org/index.php/OpenStreetMaps#Problems_with_OSM_and_navit_or_navigation_in_general<br />
Look at the section below called "On how to plan a route" for advice.<br />
<br />
== Why don't I get the new skins we see below? ==<br />
Installation of Navit only copies in the new XML files '''''if the Navit.xml is not there'''''. You need to delete the old ones to get the new. '''''Preware does NOT REMOVE THEM!'''''<br />
<br />
<br />
You find the xml files on the USB drive J: (or another drive X: when your Pre is in USB mode (not charge only mode) depending upon your PC setup.<br />
<br />
Located here J:/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/<br />
<br />
To switch between the three skins shown below you need to open the navit.xml in appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/ . At the bottom you find the section where the skin is included. Remove the comment makers "" from the skin you plan to use and add them to the current skin.<br />
<br />
== Only as a start. Some images of the current skins: ==<br />
<br />
<br />
Skin PreNav:<br />
<br />
[[Image:PreNav-L.JPG]]<br />
[[Image:PreNav-P.JPG]]<br />
<br />
Skin Pre:<br />

== How to get around the menus v3 (still not complete)''' ==<br />
<br />
''As an aside the screen captures don't work on full screen - sorry.''<br />
<br />
Main screen is seen here before GPS lock <br />
<br />
[[Image:Start_screen.png]] (here the last saved GPS position is used to choose the starting map).<br />
<br />
Press your finger on the screen and "push" the map around to get the desired location (where you are now or where you want to go) right into the centre of the screen (if you want to zoom into a location use the + button). Tap the screen and you will get the Main Menu shown here.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Main_menu.png]]<br />
Since we want to go somewhere tap on Actions.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Actions_menu.png]]<br />
Now you have a choice of the Location at the center of the map screen, the location of the car (no good here as GPS has not locked in), the Location of a saved Bookmark, or searching for a Location in your OSM or other map you have already loaded into your Pre at /media/NavitMaps/. Choosing Town we get this screen.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Town_view.png]]<br />
Now unless you live in the USA you can now enter a town. If not tap on the US flag and you should get this screen.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Town_view2.png]]<br />
Now Type in your country eg Au will give at least two countries to choose from. Select one and you will then get to enter a town, the street and then house. Lots of times this does not work too well as the House numbering is not available. In this case follow instructions below on How to Plan a Route. <br />
<br />
OK I have told NAVIT that I wish to go to my new destination and now its ready to go. <br />
<br />
<br />
[[Image:Navit_OK_to_drive.png]] <br />
<br />
<br />
It shows the way to go as a BIG FAT BLUE line as well as speaking the directions. If you want to read the directions Chooose Route then Description. The voice reads these out as you go along the route. Now Rod Whitby can guess where I live.<br />
<br />
[[Now you want to change from a CAR to a Pedestrian, Horse or BIKE!]]<br />
<br />
Choose the Main Menu, then choose Settings and you will see this<br />
<br />
[[Image:Settings_menu.png]]<br />
Now choose Vehicle and you will see this<br />
<br />
[[Image:Vehicle_screen.png]]<br />
Now select GPS and you will see your last choice which is shown here as a car.<br />
<br />
[[Image:GPS_screen_car.png]]<br />
Press once on the row Change profile to: pedestrian (for example)<br />
Then at the top of the screen press on VEHICLE. This will get you back to the GPS screen. Now if you select GPS again you will get this screen confirming you are now a pedestrian.<br />
<br />
[[Image:GPS_screen_ped.png]]<br />
Enjoy :-)<br />
<br />
[[Changing Map view (or getting rid of all the POIs)]]<br />
<br />
If you want very few POIs the simplest option is MainMenu>>Settings>>Display>>Layout>>T@H<br />
<br />
[[Image:choose T@H.png]] [[Image:T@H view.png]] <br />
Go back to map and you will see hardly any POIs. <br />
<br />
Helpful notes from vreihen on 18 and 26 May 2010 now follow,<br />
<br />
== On starting up issues ie '''why the map layer isn't loading?''' ==<br />
<br />
<br />
When Navit first starts up, it uses the north pole as it's initial position (if I recall correctly) until it gets an initial GPS fix. Your map layer problem may be that the GPS point is still at the north pole, or perhaps outside of the map that you have installed. If you tap on the center of the screen and tap on actions, there will be an icon of a car and an icon of a globe. The car icon is your current position, and should contain a non-zero latitude and longitude if your GPS is working and has a fix. Verify that those coordinates are where you are located before you dig any deeper into the maps as the cause of the missing layer.<br />
<br />
The information panels at the bottom of the screen are only populated when Navit is navigating between two points. Otherwise, they should be blank.<br />
<br />
If all else fails with the maps, you could download the entire planet.bin if you have 3.5 gigs of free USB flash space in your phone to eliminate the map file as the cause of your problem.....<br />
<br />
== '''On how to plan a route''' ==<br />
<br />
<br />
1) Scroll through the map until you can see the location that you want to drive to.<br />
<br />
2) Zoom in tight on the screen, if necessary. Tap on your destination on the map.<br />
<br />
3) When Navit opens it's main menu, tap on actions.<br />
<br />
4) The car icon should show your current latitude/longitude. (Just saying)<br />
<br />
5) The globe icon should show the destination latitude/longitude that you tapped on the map.<br />
<br />
6) Tap on the globe icon.<br />
<br />
7) From the menu that pops up, select either bookmark this location (recommended) or navigate to this location.<br />
<br />
8) If you chose to bookmark it, tap actions | bookmarks, then tap your bookmark. Select navigate to this location.<br />
<br />
9) Depending on the distance you asked it to go, Navit should pop up the first driving direction and speak it to you within 5-10 seconds.<br />
<br />
The OSM map data apparently does not contain the concept of a state, so navigating by state/city/street lookup is difficult to impossible. Navigating by bookmark on the map is the only option for the time being.....<br />
<br />
''' Changing The Starting position'''<br />
<br />
You might want to change the starting position of navit, especially if you are using Navit without a GPS. You can get your coordinates here: http://itouchmap.com/latlong.html<br />
<br />
You can change the starting position in navit.xml, here :<br />
<br />
<navit gui="..." graphics="..." center="4808 N 1134 E" zoom="128" ><br />
<br />
The latitude and longitude are written as multiplied by 100, i.e. you won't see the decimal point. For example, instead of 48.08, enter 4808.<br />
<br />
<br />
== So you want Miles not km? ==<br />

== Summary ==<br />
<br />
[[Image:Navit_icon.png|50px|left]]<br />
Navit is an open source (GPL) car navigation software for Linux systems. It will display your position on a map (in bird-view mode or as a 3D "visualization") from GPS sensor data, and can provide precise route calculation, touch screen functionality and supports Points of Interest (POI), which can be extended via an easy to use plugin system. Unlike other navigation systems, Navit maps are dynamically generated in real time from vector data. Information about Navit can be found [http://wiki.navit-project.org/index.php/Main_Page on the Navit wiki].<br />
<br />
== Where do you get the latest version of Navit for WebOS 1.4.5 and above ? ==<br />
<br />
There is a bug in the OTA (over the air) update from 1.4.1 to 1.4.5 that prevents Navit from working. To check for the bug open a Terminal or Novaterm and issue this command 'cat /etc/fstab|grep internal'. You should get the following line:<br />
<br />
/dev/mapper/store-media /media/internal vfat utf8,shortname=mixed,umask=0000 0 0<br />
<br />
If your line do not have the 'umask=0000' statement then you need to fix this first as explained here => http://developer.palm.com/distribution/viewtopic.php?p=34750<br />
Thanks to Rod there is now an app in The Preware Testing feed that can do the fix for you => http://forums.precentral.net/showthread.php?p=2556103<br />
<br />
Eine Deutsche Anleitung zum beheben des Problemes ist hier zu finden => http://www.nexave.de/forum/39654-fehler-im-ota-1-4-5-update.html<br />
<br />
# Open Preware. Select available applications. Then type 'Navit' and install as any other WebOS application.<br />
# This will automatically install two other needed packages if you not have installed them. The packages are 'speechd' and 'locale'.<br />
# You settings are migrated if you had installed the Navit Alpha before. Then you can skip step 4-8 the rest.<br />
# Now start Navit. You will see the OSD but no map as this will be installed in the next step. This first start will create the default settings and the emty folder for the map.<br />

== Using Map&Guide maps ==<br />
<br />
For all Europe uses. You can get a good Mapset from Amazon for 5 Euro => [http://www.amazon.de/Marco-Polo-Gro%C3%9Fer-Reiseplaner-DVD-ROM/dp/3829731426/ Marco Polo Großer Reiseplaner 2007/2008 (DVD-ROM) auf Amazon.de]<br />
<br />
The disadvantage is that the complete map is 3GB, if you only take Germany and the Major roots of Europe it is still 1GB.<br />
<br />
'''For Linux'''<br />
# Change directory to where DVD is mounted<br />
# Unpack data2.cab with: unshield x travel/data2.cab <br />
# Now, you should get a directory named like DIRLAN_GER.<br />
# Inside you find the maps...<br />
'''For Windows'''<br />
# Install the appliaction<br />
# you find the maps in a folder inside the program folder.<br />
<br />
'''Installing the maps'''<br />
# The dem.map folder with all the majors roads and towns of Europe...<br />
# ...and five smpX.smp folders, which contain the details of countries:<br />
* smp1: DK,S,N,IS,FIN,N<br />
* smp2: F,E,GBZ,P,AND,MC<br />
* smp3: Germany<br />
* smp4: CZ,SK,RSM,EST,GEO,LV,LT,MD,RUS,UA,BY,GR,H,I,RO,CH,A,PL,AL,MT,CY,BG,FL,SRB,MNE,HR,SLO,BIH,MK,TR,AZ,AM,V<br />
* smp5: NL,B,GB,L,IRL <br />
# copy the dem.map folder into a place on your hard drive<br />
# remove all *d60* files from the dem.map folder<br />
# copy the dem.map folder into /MaypsNavit on you usb drive<br />
# copy the smpX.smp folder you need into /MaypsNavit/dem.map folder<br />
# open appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/navit.xml and change the following:<br />
<mapset enabled="yes"><br />
<map type="binfile" enabled="yes" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/*.bin"/><br />
</mapset><br />
to <br />
<mapset enabled="yes"><br />
<map type="binfile" enabled="yes" active="yes" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/osm/*.bin"/><br />
<map type="mg" enabled="yes" active="no" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/dem.map" /><br />
<map type="mg" enabled="yes" active="no" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/dem.map/smp3.smp" /><br />
</mapset><br />
<br />
Now you can switch between the OSM and the M&G maps from the settings/maps menu inside of Navit. The OSM map is the default. To make M&G the default you need to invert the active switches.<br />
<br />
I would expect the the Map&Guide maps for other countries will also work. But you need to find a cheep Product that contains them.<br />
<br />
If you have the m&g and the OSM maps on your USB drive then you can use the index from the m&g maps for searching and the OSM maps for routing and display. To do this you need to add the mapset this way:<br />
<mapset enabled="yes"><br />
<map type="mg" enabled="yes" active="no" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/dem.map/smp3.smp" /><br />
<map type="mg" enabled="yes" active="no" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/dem.map" /><br />
<map type="binfile" enabled="yes" active="yes" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/osm/*.bin"/><br />
</mapset><br />
It looks like Navit uses the street index of the first enabled map even if it is not active.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Understanding ISSUES with OpenStreet Maps ==<br />
<br />
There is a list of issues that first time users keep asking about. These are not WEBOS issues but due to how NAVIT operates with OpenStreet maps. Look at <br />
http://wiki.navit-project.org/index.php/OpenStreetMaps#Problems_with_OSM_and_navit_or_navigation_in_general<br />
Look at the section below called "On how to plan a route" for advice.<br />
<br />
== Why don't I get the new skins we see below? ==<br />
<br />
Navit only copies in the new XML files '''''if the Navit.xml is not there'''''. You need to delete the old ones to get the new. '''''Preware does NOT REMOVE THEM!'''''<br />
<br />
<br />
You find the xml files on the USB drive J: (or another drive X: when your Pre is in USB mode (not charge only mode) depending upon your PC setup.<br />
<br />
Located here J:/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/<br />
<br />
To switch between the three skins shown below you need to open the navit.xml in appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/ . At the bottom you find the section where the skin is included. Remove the comment makers "" from the skin you plan to use and add them to the current skin.<br />
<br />
== Only as a start. Some images of the current skins: ==<br />
<br />
<br />
Skin PreNav:<br />
<br />

== How to get around the menus v3 (still not complete)''' ==<br />
<br />
''As an aside the screen captures don't work on full screen - sorry.''<br />
<br />
Main screen is seen here before GPS lock <br />
<br />
[[Image:Start_screen.png]] (here the last saved GPS position is used to choose the starting map).<br />
<br />
Press your finger on the screen and "push" the map around to get the desired location (where you are now or where you want to go) right into the centre of the screen (if you want to zoom into a location use the + button). Tap the screen and you will get the Main Menu shown here.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Main_menu.png]]<br />
Since we want to go somewhere tap on Actions.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Actions_menu.png]]<br />
Now you have a choice of the Location at the center of the map screen, the location of the car (no good here as GPS has not locked in), the Location of a saved Bookmark, or searching for a Location in your OSM or other map you have already loaded into your Pre at /media/NavitMaps/. Choosing Town we get this screen.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Town_view.png]]<br />
Now unless you live in the USA you can now enter a town. If not tap on the US flag and you should get this screen.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Town_view2.png]]<br />
Now Type in your country eg Au will give at least two countries to choose from. Select one and you will then get to enter a town, the street and then house. Lots of times this does not work too well as the House numbering is not available. In this case follow instructions below on How to Plan a Route. <br />
<br />
OK I have told NAVIT that I wish to go to my new destination and now its ready to go. <br />
<br />
<br />
[[Image:Navit_OK_to_drive.png]] <br />
<br />
<br />
It shows the way to go as a BIG FAT BLUE line as well as speaking the directions. If you want to read the directions Chooose Route then Description. The voice reads these out as you go along the route. Now Rod Whitby can guess where I live.<br />
<br />
[[Now you want to change from a CAR to a Pedestrian, Horse or BIKE!]]<br />
<br />
Choose the Main Menu, then choose Settings and you will see this<br />

Helpful notes from vreihen on 18 and 26 May 2010 now follow,<br />
<br />
== On starting up issues ie '''why the map layer isn't loading?''' ==<br />
<br />
<br />
When Navit first starts up, it uses the north pole as it's initial position (if I recall correctly) until it gets an initial GPS fix. Your map layer problem may be that the GPS point is still at the north pole, or perhaps outside of the map that you have installed. If you tap on the center of the screen and tap on actions, there will be an icon of a car and an icon of a globe. The car icon is your current position, and should contain a non-zero latitude and longitude if your GPS is working and has a fix. Verify that those coordinates are where you are located before you dig any deeper into the maps as the cause of the missing layer.<br />
<br />
The information panels at the bottom of the screen are only populated when Navit is navigating between two points. Otherwise, they should be blank.<br />
<br />
If all else fails with the maps, you could download the entire planet.bin if you have 3.5 gigs of free USB flash space in your phone to eliminate the map file as the cause of your problem.....<br />
<br />
== '''On how to plan a route''' ==<br />
<br />
<br />
1) Scroll through the map until you can see the location that you want to drive to.<br />
<br />
2) Zoom in tight on the screen, if necessary. Tap on your destination on the map.<br />
<br />
3) When Navit opens it's main menu, tap on actions.<br />
<br />
4) The car icon should show your current latitude/longitude. (Just saying)<br />
<br />
5) The globe icon should show the destination latitude/longitude that you tapped on the map.<br />
<br />
6) Tap on the globe icon.<br />
<br />
7) From the menu that pops up, select either bookmark this location (recommended) or navigate to this location.<br />
<br />
8) If you chose to bookmark it, tap actions | bookmarks, then tap your bookmark. Select navigate to this location.<br />
<br />
9) Depending on the distance you asked it to go, Navit should pop up the first driving direction and speak it to you within 5-10 seconds.<br />
<br />
The OSM map data apparently does not contain the concept of a state, so navigating by state/city/street lookup is difficult to impossible. Navigating by bookmark on the map is the only option for the time being.....<br />
<br />
''' Changing The Starting position'''<br />
<br />
You might want to change the starting position of navit, especially if you are using Navit without a GPS. You can get your coordinates here: http://itouchmap.com/latlong.html<br />
<br />
You can change the starting position in navit.xml, here :<br />
<br />
<navit gui="..." graphics="..." center="4808 N 1134 E" zoom="128" ><br />
<br />
The latitude and longitude are written as multiplied by 100, i.e. you won't see the decimal point. For example, instead of 48.08, enter 4808.<br />
<br />
<br />

== Summary ==<br />
<br />
[[Image:Navit_icon.png|50px|left]]<br />
Navit is an open source (GPL) car navigation software for Linux systems. It will display your position on a map (in bird-view mode or as a 3D "visualization") from GPS sensor data, and can provide precise route calculation, touch screen functionality and supports Points of Interest (POI), which can be extended via an easy to use plugin system. Unlike other navigation systems, Navit maps are dynamically generated in real time from vector data. Information about Navit can be found [http://wiki.navit-project.org/index.php/Main_Page on the Navit wiki].<br />
<br />
== Where do you get the latest version of Navit for WebOS 1.4.5 and above ? ==<br />
<br />
There is a bug in the OTA (over the air) update from 1.4.1 to 1.4.5 that prevents Navit from working. To check for the bug open a Terminal or Novaterm and issue this command 'cat /etc/fstab|grep internal'. You should get the following line:<br />
<br />
/dev/mapper/store-media /media/internal vfat utf8,shortname=mixed,umask=0000 0 0<br />
<br />
If your line do not have the 'umask=0000' statement then you need to fix this first as explained here => http://developer.palm.com/distribution/viewtopic.php?p=34750<br />
Thanks to Rod there is now an app in The Preware Testing feed that can do the fix for you => http://forums.precentral.net/showthread.php?p=2556103<br />
<br />
Eine Deutsche Anleitung zum beheben des Problemes ist hier zu finden => http://www.nexave.de/forum/39654-fehler-im-ota-1-4-5-update.html<br />
<br />
# Open Preware. Select available applications. Then type 'Navit' and install as any other WebOS application.<br />
# This will automatically install two other needed packages if you not have installed them. The packages are 'speechd' and 'locale'.<br />
# You settings are migrated if you had installed the Navit Alpha before. Then you can skip step 4-8 the rest.<br />
# Now start Navit. You will see the OSD but no map as this will be installed in the next step. This first start will create the default settings and the emty folder for the map.<br />

== Using Map&Guide maps ==<br />
<br />
For all Europe uses. You can get a good Mapset from Amazon for 5 Euro => [http://www.amazon.de/Marco-Polo-Gro%C3%9Fer-Reiseplaner-DVD-ROM/dp/3829731426/ Marco Polo Großer Reiseplaner 2007/2008 (DVD-ROM) auf Amazon.de]<br />
<br />
The disadvantage is that the complete map is 3GB, if you only take Germany and the Major roots of Europe it is still 1GB.<br />
<br />
'''For Linux'''<br />
# Change directory to where DVD is mounted<br />
# Unpack data2.cab with: unshield x travel/data2.cab <br />
# Now, you should get a directory named like DIRLAN_GER.<br />
# Inside you find the maps...<br />
'''For Windows'''<br />
# Install the appliaction<br />
# you find the maps in a folder inside the program folder.<br />
<br />
'''Installing the maps'''<br />
# The dem.map folder with all the majors roads and towns of Europe...<br />
# ...and five smpX.smp folders, which contain the details of countries:<br />
* smp1: DK,S,N,IS,FIN,N<br />
* smp2: F,E,GBZ,P,AND,MC<br />
* smp3: Germany<br />
* smp4: CZ,SK,RSM,EST,GEO,LV,LT,MD,RUS,UA,BY,GR,H,I,RO,CH,A,PL,AL,MT,CY,BG,FL,SRB,MNE,HR,SLO,BIH,MK,TR,AZ,AM,V<br />
* smp5: NL,B,GB,L,IRL <br />
# copy the dem.map folder into a place on your hard drive<br />
# remove all *d60* files from the dem.map folder<br />
# copy the dem.map folder into /MaypsNavit on you usb drive<br />
# copy the smpX.smp folder you need into /MaypsNavit/dem.map folder<br />
# open appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/navit.xml and change the following:<br />
<mapset enabled="yes"><br />
<map type="binfile" enabled="yes" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/*.bin"/><br />
</mapset><br />
to <br />
<mapset enabled="yes"><br />
<map type="binfile" enabled="yes" active="yes" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/osm/*.bin"/><br />
<map type="mg" enabled="yes" active="no" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/dem.map" /><br />
<map type="mg" enabled="yes" active="no" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/dem.map/smp3.smp" /><br />
</mapset><br />
<br />
Now you can switch between the OSM and the M&G maps from the settings/maps menu inside of Navit. The OSM map is the default. To make M&G the default you need to invert the active switches.<br />
<br />
I would expect the the Map&Guide maps for other countries will also work. But you need to find a cheep Product that contains them.<br />
<br />
If you have the m&g and the OSM maps on your USB drive then you can use the index from the m&g maps for searching and the OSM maps for routing and display. To do this you need to add the mapset this way:<br />
<mapset enabled="yes"><br />
<map type="mg" enabled="yes" active="no" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/dem.map/smp3.smp" /><br />
<map type="mg" enabled="yes" active="no" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/dem.map" /><br />
<map type="binfile" enabled="yes" active="yes" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/osm/*.bin"/><br />
</mapset><br />
It looks like Navit uses the street index of the first enabled map even if it is not active.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Understanding ISSUES with OpenStreet Maps ==<br />
<br />
There is a list of issues that first time users keep asking about. These are not WEBOS issues but due to how NAVIT operates with OpenStreet maps. Look at <br />
http://wiki.navit-project.org/index.php/OpenStreetMaps#Problems_with_OSM_and_navit_or_navigation_in_general<br />
Look at the section below called "On how to plan a route" for advice.<br />
<br />
== Why don't I get the new skins we see below? ==<br />
<br />
Navit only copies in the new XML files if the Navit.xml is not there. You need to delete the old ones to get the new.<br />
<br />
<br />
You find the xml files on the USB drive J: (or another drive X: when your Pre is in USB mode (not charge only mode) depending upon your PC setup.<br />
<br />
Located here J:/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/<br />
<br />
To switch between the three skins shown below you need to open the navit.xml in appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/ . At the bottom you find the section where the skin is included. Remove the comment makers "" from the skin you plan to use and add them to the current skin. <br />
<br />
== Only as a start. Some images of the current skins: ==<br />
<br />
<br />
Skin PreNav:<br />

''As an aside the screen captures don't work on full screen - sorry.''<br />
<br />
Main screen is seen here before GPS lock <br />
<br />
[[Image:Start_screen.png]] (here the last saved GPS position is used to choose the starting map).<br />
<br />
Press your finger on the screen and "push" the map around to get the desired location (where you are now or where you want to go) right into the centre of the screen (if you want to zoom into a location use the + button). Tap the screen and you will get the Main Menu shown here.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Main_menu.png]]<br />
Since we want to go somewhere tap on Actions.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Actions_menu.png]]<br />
Now you have a choice of the Location at the center of the map screen, the location of the car (no good here as GPS has not locked in), the Location of a saved Bookmark, or searching for a Location in your OSM or other map you have already loaded into your Pre at /media/NavitMaps/. Choosing Town we get this screen.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Town_view.png]]<br />
Now unless you live in the USA you can now enter a town. If not tap on the US flag and you should get this screen.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Town_view2.png]]<br />
Now Type in your country eg Au will give at least two countries to choose from. Select one and you will then get to enter a town, the street and then house. Lots of times this does not work too well as the House numbering is not available. In this case follow instructions below on How to Plan a Route. <br />
<br />
OK I have told NAVIT that I wish to go to my new destination and now its ready to go. <br />
<br />
<br />
[[Image:Navit_OK_to_drive.png]] <br />
<br />
<br />
It shows the way to go as a BIG FAT BLUE line as well as speaking the directions. If you want to read the directions Chooose Route then Description. The voice reads these out as you go along the route. Now Rod Whitby can guess where I live.<br />
<br />
[[Now you want to change from a CAR to a Pedestrian, Horse or BIKE!]]<br />
<br />
Choose the Main Menu, then choose Settings and you will see this<br />
<br />
[[Image:Settings_menu.png]]<br />
Now choose Vehicle and you will see this<br />
<br />
[[Image:Vehicle_screen.png]]<br />
Now select GPS and you will see your last choice which is shown here as a car.<br />
<br />
[[Image:GPS_screen_car.png]]<br />
Press once on the row Change profile to: pedestrian (for example)<br />
Then at the top of the screen press on VEHICLE. This will get you back to the GPS screen. Now if you select GPS again you will get this screen confirming you are now a pedestrian.<br />
<br />
[[Image:GPS_screen_ped.png]]<br />
Enjoy :-)<br />
<br />
[[Changing Map view (or getting rid of all the POIs)]]<br />

Helpful notes from vreihen on 18 and 26 May 2010 now follow,<br />
<br />
== On starting up issues ie '''why the map layer isn't loading?''' ==<br />
<br />
<br />
When Navit first starts up, it uses the north pole as it's initial position (if I recall correctly) until it gets an initial GPS fix. Your map layer problem may be that the GPS point is still at the north pole, or perhaps outside of the map that you have installed. If you tap on the center of the screen and tap on actions, there will be an icon of a car and an icon of a globe. The car icon is your current position, and should contain a non-zero latitude and longitude if your GPS is working and has a fix. Verify that those coordinates are where you are located before you dig any deeper into the maps as the cause of the missing layer.<br />
<br />
The information panels at the bottom of the screen are only populated when Navit is navigating between two points. Otherwise, they should be blank.<br />
<br />
If all else fails with the maps, you could download the entire planet.bin if you have 3.5 gigs of free USB flash space in your phone to eliminate the map file as the cause of your problem.....<br />
<br />
== '''On how to plan a route''' ==<br />
<br />
<br />
1) Scroll through the map until you can see the location that you want to drive to.<br />
<br />
2) Zoom in tight on the screen, if necessary. Tap on your destination on the map.<br />
<br />
3) When Navit opens it's main menu, tap on actions.<br />
<br />
4) The car icon should show your current latitude/longitude. (Just saying)<br />
<br />
5) The globe icon should show the destination latitude/longitude that you tapped on the map.<br />
<br />
6) Tap on the globe icon.<br />
<br />
7) From the menu that pops up, select either bookmark this location (recommended) or navigate to this location.<br />
<br />
8) If you chose to bookmark it, tap actions | bookmarks, then tap your bookmark. Select navigate to this location.<br />
<br />
9) Depending on the distance you asked it to go, Navit should pop up the first driving direction and speak it to you within 5-10 seconds.<br />
<br />
The OSM map data apparently does not contain the concept of a state, so navigating by state/city/street lookup is difficult to impossible. Navigating by bookmark on the map is the only option for the time being.....<br />
<br />
''' Changing The Starting position'''<br />
<br />
You might want to change the starting position of navit, especially if you are using Navit without a GPS. You can get your coordinates here: http://itouchmap.com/latlong.html<br />
<br />
You can change the starting position in navit.xml, here :<br />
<br />
<navit gui="..." graphics="..." center="4808 N 1134 E" zoom="128" ><br />
<br />
The latitude and longitude are written as multiplied by 100, i.e. you won't see the decimal point. For example, instead of 48.08, enter 4808.<br />
<br />

== Summary ==<br />
<br />
[[Image:Navit_icon.png|50px|left]]<br />
Navit is an open source (GPL) car navigation software for Linux systems. It will display your position on a map (in bird-view mode or as a 3D "visualization") from GPS sensor data, and can provide precise route calculation, touch screen functionality and supports Points of Interest (POI), which can be extended via an easy to use plugin system. Unlike other navigation systems, Navit maps are dynamically generated in real time from vector data. Information about Navit can be found [http://wiki.navit-project.org/index.php/Main_Page on the Navit wiki].<br />
<br />
== Where do you get the latest version of Navit for WebOS 1.4.5 and above ? ==<br />
<br />
There is a bug in the OTA (over the air) update from 1.4.1 to 1.4.5 that prevents Navit from working. To check for the bug open a Terminal or Novaterm and issue this command 'cat /etc/fstab|grep internal'. You should get the following line:<br />
<br />
/dev/mapper/store-media /media/internal vfat utf8,shortname=mixed,umask=0000 0 0<br />
<br />
If your line do not have the 'umask=0000' statement then you need to fix this first as explained here => http://developer.palm.com/distribution/viewtopic.php?p=34750<br />
Thanks to Rod there is now an app in The Preware Testing feed that can do the fix for you => http://forums.precentral.net/showthread.php?p=2556103<br />
<br />
Eine Deutsche Anleitung zum beheben des Problemes ist hier zu finden => http://www.nexave.de/forum/39654-fehler-im-ota-1-4-5-update.html<br />
<br />
# Open Preware. Select available applications. Then type 'Navit' and install as any other WebOS application.<br />
# This will automatically install two other needed packages if you not have installed them. The packages are 'speechd' and 'locale'.<br />
# You settings are migrated if you had installed the Navit Alpha before. Then you can skip step 4-8 the rest.<br />
# Now start Navit. You will see the OSD but no map as this will be installed in the next step. This first start will create the default settings and the emty folder for the map.<br />

== Using Map&Guide maps ==<br />
<br />
For all Europe uses. You can get a good Mapset from Amazon for 5 Euro => [http://www.amazon.de/Marco-Polo-Gro%C3%9Fer-Reiseplaner-DVD-ROM/dp/3829731426/ Marco Polo Großer Reiseplaner 2007/2008 (DVD-ROM) auf Amazon.de]<br />
<br />
The disadvantage is that the complete map is 3GB, if you only take Germany and the Major roots of Europe it is still 1GB.<br />
<br />
'''For Linux'''<br />
# Change directory to where DVD is mounted<br />
# Unpack data2.cab with: unshield x travel/data2.cab <br />
# Now, you should get a directory named like DIRLAN_GER.<br />
# Inside you find the maps...<br />
'''For Windows'''<br />
# Install the appliaction<br />
# you find the maps in a folder inside the program folder.<br />
<br />
'''Installing the maps'''<br />
# The dem.map folder with all the majors roads and towns of Europe...<br />
# ...and five smpX.smp folders, which contain the details of countries:<br />
* smp1: DK,S,N,IS,FIN,N<br />
* smp2: F,E,GBZ,P,AND,MC<br />
* smp3: Germany<br />
* smp4: CZ,SK,RSM,EST,GEO,LV,LT,MD,RUS,UA,BY,GR,H,I,RO,CH,A,PL,AL,MT,CY,BG,FL,SRB,MNE,HR,SLO,BIH,MK,TR,AZ,AM,V<br />
* smp5: NL,B,GB,L,IRL <br />
# copy the dem.map folder into a place on your hard drive<br />
# remove all *d60* files from the dem.map folder<br />
# copy the dem.map folder into /MaypsNavit on you usb drive<br />
# copy the smpX.smp folder you need into /MaypsNavit/dem.map folder<br />
# open appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/navit.xml and change the following:<br />
<mapset enabled="yes"><br />
<map type="binfile" enabled="yes" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/*.bin"/><br />
</mapset><br />
to <br />
<mapset enabled="yes"><br />
<map type="binfile" enabled="yes" active="yes" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/osm/*.bin"/><br />
<map type="mg" enabled="yes" active="no" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/dem.map" /><br />
<map type="mg" enabled="yes" active="no" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/dem.map/smp3.smp" /><br />
</mapset><br />
<br />
Now you can switch between the OSM and the M&G maps from the settings/maps menu inside of Navit. The OSM map is the default. To make M&G the default you need to invert the active switches.<br />
<br />
I would expect the the Map&Guide maps for other countries will also work. But you need to find a cheep Product that contains them.<br />
<br />
If you have the m&g and the OSM maps on your USB drive then you can use the index from the m&g maps for searching and the OSM maps for routing and display. To do this you need to add the mapset this way:<br />
<mapset enabled="yes"><br />
<map type="mg" enabled="yes" active="no" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/dem.map/smp3.smp" /><br />
<map type="mg" enabled="yes" active="no" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/dem.map" /><br />
<map type="binfile" enabled="yes" active="yes" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/osm/*.bin"/><br />
</mapset><br />
It looks like Navit uses the street index of the first enabled map even if it is not active.<br />
<br />
== Why don't I get the new skins we see below? ==<br />
<br />
Navit only copies in the new XML files if the Navit.xml is not there. You need to delete the old ones to get the new.<br />
<br />
<br />
You find the xml files on the USB drive J: (or another drive X: when your Pre is in USB mode (not charge only mode) depending upon your PC setup.<br />
<br />
Located here J:/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/<br />
<br />
To switch between the three skins shown below you need to open the navit.xml in appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/ . At the bottom you find the section where the skin is included. Remove the comment makers "" from the skin you plan to use and add them to the current skin. <br />
<br />
== Only as a start. Some images of the current skins: ==<br />
<br />
<br />

== How to get around the menus v3 (still not complete)''' ==<br />
<br />
''As an aside the screen captures don't work on full screen - sorry.''<br />
<br />
Main screen is seen here before GPS lock <br />
<br />
[[Image:Start_screen.png]] (here the last saved GPS position is used to choose the starting map).<br />
<br />
Press your finger on the screen and "push" the map around to get the desired location (where you are now or where you want to go) right into the centre of the screen (if you want to zoom into a location use the + button). Tap the screen and you will get the Main Menu shown here.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Main_menu.png]]<br />
Since we want to go somewhere tap on Actions.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Actions_menu.png]]<br />
Now you have a choice of the Location at the center of the map screen, the location of the car (no good here as GPS has not locked in), the Location of a saved Bookmark, or searching for a Location in your OSM or other map you have already loaded into your Pre at /media/NavitMaps/. Choosing Town we get this screen.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Town_view.png]]<br />
Now unless you live in the USA you can now enter a town. If not tap on the US flag and you should get this screen.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Town_view2.png]]<br />
Now Type in your country eg Au will give at least two countries to choose from. Select one and you will then get to enter a town, the street and then house. Lots of times this does not work too well as the House numbering is not available. In this case follow instructions below on How to Plan a Route. <br />
<br />
OK I have told NAVIT that I wish to go to my new destination and now its ready to go. <br />
<br />
<br />
[[Image:Navit_OK_to_drive.png]] <br />
<br />
<br />
It shows the way to go as a BIG FAT BLUE line as well as speaking the directions. If you want to read the directions Chooose Route then Description. The voice reads these out as you go along the route. Now Rod Whitby can guess where I live.<br />
<br />
[[Now you want to change from a CAR to a Pedestrian, Horse or BIKE!]]<br />
<br />
Choose the Main Menu, then choose Settings and you will see this<br />
<br />
[[Image:Settings_menu.png]]<br />
Now choose Vehicle and you will see this<br />
<br />
[[Image:Vehicle_screen.png]]<br />
Now select GPS and you will see your last choice which is shown here as a car.<br />
<br />
[[Image:GPS_screen_car.png]]<br />
Press once on the row Change profile to: pedestrian (for example)<br />
Then at the top of the screen press on VEHICLE. This will get you back to the GPS screen. Now if you select GPS again you will get this screen confirming you are now a pedestrian.<br />
<br />
[[Image:GPS_screen_ped.png]]<br />
Enjoy :-)<br />
<br />
[[Changing Map view (or getting rid of all the POIs)]]<br />
<br />
If you want very few POIs the simplest option is MainMenu>>Settings>>Display>>Layout>>T@H<br />
<br />
[[Image:choose T@H.png]] [[Image:T@H view.png]] <br />
Go back to map and you will see hardly any POIs. <br />
<br />
Helpful notes from vreihen on 18 and 26 May 2010 now follow,<br />
<br />
== On starting up issues ie '''why the map layer isn't loading?''' ==<br />
<br />
<br />
When Navit first starts up, it uses the north pole as it's initial position (if I recall correctly) until it gets an initial GPS fix. Your map layer problem may be that the GPS point is still at the north pole, or perhaps outside of the map that you have installed. If you tap on the center of the screen and tap on actions, there will be an icon of a car and an icon of a globe. The car icon is your current position, and should contain a non-zero latitude and longitude if your GPS is working and has a fix. Verify that those coordinates are where you are located before you dig any deeper into the maps as the cause of the missing layer.<br />
<br />
The information panels at the bottom of the screen are only populated when Navit is navigating between two points. Otherwise, they should be blank.<br />
<br />
If all else fails with the maps, you could download the entire planet.bin if you have 3.5 gigs of free USB flash space in your phone to eliminate the map file as the cause of your problem.....<br />
<br />
== On '''how to plan a route''' ==<br />
<br />
<br />
1) Scroll through the map until you can see the location that you want to drive to.<br />
<br />
2) Zoom in tight on the screen, if necessary. Tap on your destination on the map.<br />
<br />
3) When Navit opens it's main menu, tap on actions.<br />
<br />
4) The car icon should show your current latitude/longitude. (Just saying)<br />
<br />
5) The globe icon should show the destination latitude/longitude that you tapped on the map.<br />
<br />
6) Tap on the globe icon.<br />
<br />
7) From the menu that pops up, select either bookmark this location (recommended) or navigate to this location.<br />
<br />
8) If you chose to bookmark it, tap actions | bookmarks, then tap your bookmark. Select navigate to this location.<br />
<br />
9) Depending on the distance you asked it to go, Navit should pop up the first driving direction and speak it to you within 5-10 seconds.<br />
<br />
The OSM map data apparently does not contain the concept of a state, so navigating by state/city/street lookup is difficult to impossible. Navigating by bookmark on the map is the only option for the time being.....<br />
<br />
''' Changing The Starting position'''<br />
<br />
You might want to change the starting position of navit, especially if you are using Navit without a GPS. You can get your coordinates here: http://itouchmap.com/latlong.html<br />
<br />
You can change the starting position in navit.xml, here :<br />
<br />
<navit gui="..." graphics="..." center="4808 N 1134 E" zoom="128" ><br />
<br />
The latitude and longitude are written as multiplied by 100, i.e. you won't see the decimal point. For example, instead of 48.08, enter 4808.<br />
<br />
<br />

Navit is an open source (GPL) car navigation software for Linux systems. It will display your position on a map (in bird-view mode or as a 3D "visualization") from GPS sensor data, and can provide precise route calculation, touch screen functionality and supports Points of Interest (POI), which can be extended via an easy to use plugin system. Unlike other navigation systems, Navit maps are dynamically generated in real time from vector data. Information about Navit can be found [http://wiki.navit-project.org/index.php/Main_Page on the Navit wiki].<br />
<br />
== Where do you get the latest version of Navit for WebOS 1.4.5 and above ? ==<br />
<br />
There is a bug in the OTA (over the air) update from 1.4.1 to 1.4.5 that prevents Navit from working. To check for the bug open a Terminal or Novaterm and issue this command 'cat /etc/fstab|grep internal'. You should get the following line:<br />
<br />
/dev/mapper/store-media /media/internal vfat utf8,shortname=mixed,umask=0000 0 0<br />
<br />
If your line do not have the 'umask=0000' statement then you need to fix this first as explained here => http://developer.palm.com/distribution/viewtopic.php?p=34750<br />
Thanks to Rod there is now an app in The Preware Testing feed that can do the fix for you => http://forums.precentral.net/showthread.php?p=2556103<br />

# Open Preware. Select available applications. Then type 'Navit' and install as any other WebOS application.<br />
# This will automatically install two other needed packages if you not have installed them. The packages are 'speechd' and 'locale'.<br />
# You settings are migrated if you had installed the Navit Alpha before. Then you can skip step 4-8 the rest.<br />
# Now start Navit. You will see the OSD but no map as this will be installed in the next step. This first start will create the default settings and the emty folder for the map.<br />

== Using Map&Guide maps ==<br />
<br />
For all Europe uses. You can get a good Mapset from Amazon for 5 Euro => [http://www.amazon.de/Marco-Polo-Gro%C3%9Fer-Reiseplaner-DVD-ROM/dp/3829731426/ Marco Polo Großer Reiseplaner 2007/2008 (DVD-ROM) auf Amazon.de]<br />
<br />
The disadvantage is that the complete map is 3GB, if you only take Germany and the Major roots of Europe it is still 1GB.<br />
<br />
'''For Linux'''<br />
# Change directory to where DVD is mounted<br />
# Unpack data2.cab with: unshield x travel/data2.cab <br />
# Now, you should get a directory named like DIRLAN_GER.<br />
# Inside you find the maps...<br />
'''For Windows'''<br />
# Install the appliaction<br />
# you find the maps in a folder inside the program folder.<br />
<br />
'''Installing the maps'''<br />
# The dem.map folder with all the majors roads and towns of Europe...<br />
# ...and five smpX.smp folders, which contain the details of countries:<br />
* smp1: DK,S,N,IS,FIN,N<br />
* smp2: F,E,GBZ,P,AND,MC<br />
* smp3: Germany<br />
* smp4: CZ,SK,RSM,EST,GEO,LV,LT,MD,RUS,UA,BY,GR,H,I,RO,CH,A,PL,AL,MT,CY,BG,FL,SRB,MNE,HR,SLO,BIH,MK,TR,AZ,AM,V<br />
* smp5: NL,B,GB,L,IRL <br />
# copy the dem.map folder into a place on your hard drive<br />
# remove all *d60* files from the dem.map folder<br />
# copy the dem.map folder into /MaypsNavit on you usb drive<br />
# copy the smpX.smp folder you need into /MaypsNavit/dem.map folder<br />
# open appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/navit.xml and change the following:<br />
<mapset enabled="yes"><br />
<map type="binfile" enabled="yes" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/*.bin"/><br />
</mapset><br />
to <br />
<mapset enabled="yes"><br />
<map type="binfile" enabled="yes" active="yes" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/osm/*.bin"/><br />
<map type="mg" enabled="yes" active="no" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/dem.map" /><br />
<map type="mg" enabled="yes" active="no" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/dem.map/smp3.smp" /><br />
</mapset><br />
<br />
Now you can switch between the OSM and the M&G maps from the settings/maps menu inside of Navit. The OSM map is the default. To make M&G the default you need to invert the active switches.<br />
<br />
I would expect the the Map&Guide maps for other countries will also work. But you need to find a cheep Product that contains them.<br />
<br />
If you have the m&g and the OSM maps on your USB drive then you can use the index from the m&g maps for searching and the OSM maps for routing and display. To do this you need to add the mapset this way:<br />
<mapset enabled="yes"><br />
<map type="mg" enabled="yes" active="no" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/dem.map/smp3.smp" /><br />
<map type="mg" enabled="yes" active="no" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/dem.map" /><br />
<map type="binfile" enabled="yes" active="yes" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/osm/*.bin"/><br />
</mapset><br />
It looks like Navit uses the street index of the first enabled map even if it is not active.<br />
<br />
== Why don't I get the new skins we see below? ==<br />
<br />
Navit only copies in the new XML files if the Navit.xml is not there. You need to delete the old ones to get the new.<br />
<br />
<br />
You find the xml files on the USB drive J: (or another drive X: when your Pre is in USB mode (not charge only mode) depending upon your PC setup.<br />
<br />
Located here J:/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/<br />
<br />
To switch between the three skins shown below you need to open the navit.xml in appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/ . At the bottom you find the section where the skin is included. Remove the comment makers "" from the skin you plan to use and add them to the current skin. <br />
<br />
== Only as a start. Some images of the current skins: ==<br />
<br />
<br />
Skin PreNav:<br />

== How to get around the menus v3 (still not complete)''' ==<br />
<br />
''As an aside the screen captures don't work on full screen - sorry.''<br />
<br />
Main screen is seen here before GPS lock <br />
<br />
[[Image:Start_screen.png]] (here the last saved GPS position is used to choose the starting map).<br />
<br />
Press your finger on the screen and "push" the map around to get the desired location (where you are now or where you want to go) right into the centre of the screen (if you want to zoom into a location use the + button). Tap the screen and you will get the Main Menu shown here.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Main_menu.png]]<br />
Since we want to go somewhere tap on Actions.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Actions_menu.png]]<br />
Now you have a choice of the Location at the center of the map screen, the location of the car (no good here as GPS has not locked in), the Location of a saved Bookmark, or searching for a Location in your OSM or other map you have already loaded into your Pre at /media/NavitMaps/. Choosing Town we get this screen.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Town_view.png]]<br />
Now unless you live in the USA you can now enter a town. If not tap on the US flag and you should get this screen.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Town_view2.png]]<br />
Now Type in your country eg Au will give at least two countries to choose from. Select one and you will then get to enter a town, the street and then house. Lots of times this does not work too well as the House numbering is not available. In this case follow instructions below on How to Plan a Route. <br />
<br />
OK I have told NAVIT that I wish to go to my new destination and now its ready to go. <br />
<br />
<br />
[[Image:Navit_OK_to_drive.png]] <br />
<br />
<br />
It shows the way to go as a BIG FAT BLUE line as well as speaking the directions. If you want to read the directions Chooose Route then Description. The voice reads these out as you go along the route. Now Rod Whitby can guess where I live.<br />
<br />
[[Now you want to change from a CAR to a Pedestrian, Horse or BIKE!]]<br />
<br />
Choose the Main Menu, then choose Settings and you will see this<br />
<br />
[[Image:Settings_menu.png]]<br />
Now choose Vehicle and you will see this<br />
<br />
[[Image:Vehicle_screen.png]]<br />
Now select GPS and you will see your last choice which is shown here as a car.<br />
<br />
[[Image:GPS_screen_car.png]]<br />
Press once on the row Change profile to: pedestrian (for example)<br />
Then at the top of the screen press on VEHICLE. This will get you back to the GPS screen. Now if you select GPS again you will get this screen confirming you are now a pedestrian.<br />
<br />
[[Image:GPS_screen_ped.png]]<br />
Enjoy :-)<br />
<br />
[[Changing Map view (or getting rid of all the POIs)]]<br />
<br />
If you want no POIs the simplest option is MainMenu>>Settings>>Display>>Layout>>T@H<br />
<br />
[[Image:choose T@H.png]] [[Image:T@H view.png]] <br />
Go to back map and you will see no POIs. <br />
<br />
Helpful notes from vreihen on 18 and 26 May 2010 now follow,<br />
<br />
== On starting up issues ie '''why the map layer isn't loading?''' ==<br />
<br />
<br />
When Navit first starts up, it uses the north pole as it's initial position (if I recall correctly) until it gets an initial GPS fix. Your map layer problem may be that the GPS point is still at the north pole, or perhaps outside of the map that you have installed. If you tap on the center of the screen and tap on actions, there will be an icon of a car and an icon of a globe. The car icon is your current position, and should contain a non-zero latitude and longitude if your GPS is working and has a fix. Verify that those coordinates are where you are located before you dig any deeper into the maps as the cause of the missing layer.<br />
<br />
The information panels at the bottom of the screen are only populated when Navit is navigating between two points. Otherwise, they should be blank.<br />
<br />
If all else fails with the maps, you could download the entire planet.bin if you have 3.5 gigs of free USB flash space in your phone to eliminate the map file as the cause of your problem.....<br />
<br />
== On '''how to plan a route''' ==<br />
<br />
<br />
1) Scroll through the map until you can see the location that you want to drive to.<br />
<br />
2) Zoom in tight on the screen, if necessary. Tap on your destination on the map.<br />
<br />
3) When Navit opens it's main menu, tap on actions.<br />
<br />
4) The car icon should show your current latitude/longitude. (Just saying)<br />
<br />
5) The globe icon should show the destination latitude/longitude that you tapped on the map.<br />
<br />
6) Tap on the globe icon.<br />
<br />
7) From the menu that pops up, select either bookmark this location (recommended) or navigate to this location.<br />
<br />
8) If you chose to bookmark it, tap actions | bookmarks, then tap your bookmark. Select navigate to this location.<br />
<br />
9) Depending on the distance you asked it to go, Navit should pop up the first driving direction and speak it to you within 5-10 seconds.<br />
<br />
The OSM map data apparently does not contain the concept of a state, so navigating by state/city/street lookup is difficult to impossible. Navigating by bookmark on the map is the only option for the time being.....<br />
<br />
''' Changing The Starting position'''<br />
<br />
You might want to change the starting position of navit, especially if you are using Navit without a GPS. You can get your coordinates here: http://itouchmap.com/latlong.html<br />
<br />
You can change the starting position in navit.xml, here :<br />
<br />
<navit gui="..." graphics="..." center="4808 N 1134 E" zoom="128" ><br />
<br />
The latitude and longitude are written as multiplied by 100, i.e. you won't see the decimal point. For example, instead of 48.08, enter 4808.<br />
<br />
<br />

Navit is an open source (GPL) car navigation software for Linux systems. It will display your position on a map (in bird-view mode or as a 3D "visualization") from GPS sensor data, and can provide precise route calculation, touch screen functionality and supports Points of Interest (POI), which can be extended via an easy to use plugin system. Unlike other navigation systems, Navit maps are dynamically generated in real time from vector data.

<br />
== Where do you get the latest version of Navit for WebOS 1.4.5 and above ? ==<br />
<br />
There is a bug in the OTA (over the air) update from 1.4.1 to 1.4.5 that prevents Navit from working. To check for the bug open a Terminal or Novaterm and issue this command 'cat /etc/fstab|grep internal'. You should get the following line:<br />
<br />
/dev/mapper/store-media /media/internal vfat utf8,shortname=mixed,umask=0000 0 0<br />
<br />
If your line do not have the 'umask=0000' statement then you need to fix this first as explained here => http://developer.palm.com/distribution/viewtopic.php?p=34750<br />
Thanks to Rod there is now an app in The Preware Testing feed that can do the fix for you => http://forums.precentral.net/showthread.php?p=2556103<br />
<br />
Eine Deutsche Anleitung zum beheben des Problemes ist hier zu finden => http://www.nexave.de/forum/39654-fehler-im-ota-1-4-5-update.html<br />
<br />
# Open Preware. Select available applications. Then type 'Navit' and install as any other WebOS application.<br />
# This will automatically install two other needed packages if you not have installed them. The packages are 'speechd' and 'locale'.<br />
# You settings are migrated if you had installed the Navit Alpha before. Then you can skip step 4-8 the rest.<br />
# Now start Navit. You will see the OSD but no map as this will be installed in the next step. This first start will create the default settings and the emty folder for the map.<br />

== Using Map&Guide maps ==<br />
<br />
For all Europe uses. You can get a good Mapset from Amazon for 5 Euro => [http://www.amazon.de/Marco-Polo-Gro%C3%9Fer-Reiseplaner-DVD-ROM/dp/3829731426/ Marco Polo Großer Reiseplaner 2007/2008 (DVD-ROM) auf Amazon.de]<br />
<br />
The disadvantage is that the complete map is 3GB, if you only take Germany and the Major roots of Europe it is still 1GB.<br />
<br />
'''For Linux'''<br />
# Change directory to where DVD is mounted<br />
# Unpack data2.cab with: unshield x travel/data2.cab <br />
# Now, you should get a directory named like DIRLAN_GER.<br />
# Inside you find the maps...<br />
'''For Windows'''<br />
# Install the appliaction<br />
# you find the maps in a folder inside the program folder.<br />
<br />
'''Installing the maps'''<br />
# The dem.map folder with all the majors roads and towns of Europe...<br />
# ...and five smpX.smp folders, which contain the details of countries:<br />
* smp1: DK,S,N,IS,FIN,N<br />
* smp2: F,E,GBZ,P,AND,MC<br />
* smp3: Germany<br />
* smp4: CZ,SK,RSM,EST,GEO,LV,LT,MD,RUS,UA,BY,GR,H,I,RO,CH,A,PL,AL,MT,CY,BG,FL,SRB,MNE,HR,SLO,BIH,MK,TR,AZ,AM,V<br />
* smp5: NL,B,GB,L,IRL <br />
# copy the dem.map folder into a place on your hard drive<br />
# remove all *d60* files from the dem.map folder<br />
# copy the dem.map folder into /MaypsNavit on you usb drive<br />
# copy the smpX.smp folder you need into /MaypsNavit/dem.map folder<br />
# open appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/navit.xml and change the following:<br />
<mapset enabled="yes"><br />
<map type="binfile" enabled="yes" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/*.bin"/><br />
</mapset><br />
to <br />
<mapset enabled="yes"><br />
<map type="binfile" enabled="yes" active="yes" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/osm/*.bin"/><br />
<map type="mg" enabled="yes" active="no" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/dem.map" /><br />
<map type="mg" enabled="yes" active="no" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/dem.map/smp3.smp" /><br />
</mapset><br />
<br />
Now you can switch between the OSM and the M&G maps from the settings/maps menu inside of Navit. The OSM map is the default. To make M&G the default you need to invert the active switches.<br />
<br />
I would expect the the Map&Guide maps for other countries will also work. But you need to find a cheep Product that contains them.<br />
<br />
If you have the m&g and the OSM maps on your USB drive then you can use the index from the m&g maps for searching and the OSM maps for routing and display. To do this you need to add the mapset this way:<br />
<mapset enabled="yes"><br />
<map type="mg" enabled="yes" active="no" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/dem.map/smp3.smp" /><br />
<map type="mg" enabled="yes" active="no" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/dem.map" /><br />
<map type="binfile" enabled="yes" active="yes" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/osm/*.bin"/><br />
</mapset><br />
It looks like Navit uses the street index of the first enabled map even if it is not active.<br />
<br />
== Why don't I get the new skins we see below? ==<br />
<br />
Navit only copies in the new XML files if the Navit.xml is not there. You need to delete the old ones to get the new.<br />
<br />
<br />
You find the xml files on the USB drive J: (or another drive X: when your Pre is in USB mode (not charge only mode) depending upon your PC setup.<br />
<br />
Located here J:/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/<br />
<br />
To switch between the three skins shown below you need to open the navit.xml in appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/ . At the bottom you find the section where the skin is included. Remove the comment makers "" from the skin you plan to use and add them to the current skin. <br />
<br />
== Only as a start. Some images of the current skins: ==<br />
<br />
<br />
Skin PreNav:<br />

== How to get around the menus v2 (still not complete)''' ==<br />
<br />
''As an aside the screen captures don't work on full screen - sorry.''<br />
<br />
Main screen is seen here before GPS lock <br />
<br />
[[Image:Start_screen.png]] (here the last saved GPS position is used to choose the starting map).<br />
<br />
Press your finger on the screen and "push" the map around to get the desired location (where you are now or where you want to go) right into the centre of the screen (if you want to zoom into a location use the + button). Tap the screen and you will get the Main Menu shown here.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Main_menu.png]]<br />
Since we want to go somewhere tap on Actions.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Actions_menu.png]]<br />
Now you have a choice of the Location at the center of the map screen, the location of the car (no good here as GPS has not locked in), the Location of a saved Bookmark, or searching for a Location in your OSM or other map you have already loaded into your Pre at /media/NavitMaps/. Choosing Town we get this screen.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Town_view.png]]<br />
Now unless you live in the USA you can now enter a town. If not tap on the US flag and you should get this screen.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Town_view2.png]]<br />
Now Type in your country eg Au will give at least two countries to choose from. Select one and you will then get to enter a town, the street and then house. Lots of times this does not work too well as the House numbering is not available. In this case follow instructions below on How to Plan a Route. <br />
<br />
OK I have told NAVIT that I wish to go to my new destination and now its ready to go. <br />
<br />
<br />
[[Image:Navit_OK_to_drive.png]] <br />
<br />
<br />
It shows the way to go as a BIG FAT BLUE line as well as speaking the directions. If you want to read the directions Chooose Route then Description. The voice reads these out as you go along the route. Now Rod Whitby can guess where I live.<br />
<br />
[[Now you want to change from a CAR to a Pedestrian, Horse or BIKE!]]<br />
<br />
Choose the Main Menu, then choose Settings and you will see this<br />
<br />
[[Image:Settings_menu.png]]<br />
Now choose Vehicle and you will see this<br />
<br />
[[Image:Vehicle_screen.png]]<br />
Now select GPS and you will see your last choice which is shown here as a car.<br />
<br />
[[Image:GPS_screen_car.png]]<br />
Press once on the row Change profile to: pedestrian (for example)<br />
Then at the top of the screen press on VEHICLE. This will get you back to the GPS screen. Now if you select GPS again you will get this screen confirming you are now a pedestrian.<br />
<br />
[[Image:GPS_screen_ped.png]]<br />
Enjoy :-)<br />

<br />
Helpful notes from vreihen on 18 and 26 May 2010 now follow,<br />
<br />
== On starting up issues ie '''why the map layer isn't loading?''' ==<br />
<br />
<br />
When Navit first starts up, it uses the north pole as it's initial position (if I recall correctly) until it gets an initial GPS fix. Your map layer problem may be that the GPS point is still at the north pole, or perhaps outside of the map that you have installed. If you tap on the center of the screen and tap on actions, there will be an icon of a car and an icon of a globe. The car icon is your current position, and should contain a non-zero latitude and longitude if your GPS is working and has a fix. Verify that those coordinates are where you are located before you dig any deeper into the maps as the cause of the missing layer.<br />
<br />
The information panels at the bottom of the screen are only populated when Navit is navigating between two points. Otherwise, they should be blank.<br />
<br />
If all else fails with the maps, you could download the entire planet.bin if you have 3.5 gigs of free USB flash space in your phone to eliminate the map file as the cause of your problem.....<br />
<br />
== On '''how to plan a route''' ==<br />
<br />
<br />
1) Scroll through the map until you can see the location that you want to drive to.<br />
<br />
2) Zoom in tight on the screen, if necessary. Tap on your destination on the map.<br />
<br />
3) When Navit opens it's main menu, tap on actions.<br />
<br />
4) The car icon should show your current latitude/longitude. (Just saying)<br />
<br />
5) The globe icon should show the destination latitude/longitude that you tapped on the map.<br />
<br />
6) Tap on the globe icon.<br />
<br />
7) From the menu that pops up, select either bookmark this location (recommended) or navigate to this location.<br />
<br />
8) If you chose to bookmark it, tap actions | bookmarks, then tap your bookmark. Select navigate to this location.<br />
<br />
9) Depending on the distance you asked it to go, Navit should pop up the first driving direction and speak it to you within 5-10 seconds.<br />
<br />
The OSM map data apparently does not contain the concept of a state, so navigating by state/city/street lookup is difficult to impossible. Navigating by bookmark on the map is the only option for the time being.....<br />
<br />
''' Changing The Starting position'''<br />
<br />
You might want to change the starting position of navit, especially if you are using Navit without a GPS. You can get your coordinates here: http://itouchmap.com/latlong.html<br />
<br />
You can change the starting position in navit.xml, here :<br />
<br />
<navit gui="..." graphics="..." center="4808 N 1134 E" zoom="128" ><br />
<br />
The latitude and longitude are written as multiplied by 100, i.e. you won't see the decimal point. For example, instead of 48.08, enter 4808.<br />
<br />
<br />

== Summary ==<br />
<br />
[[Image:Navit_icon.png|50px|left]]<br />
Navit is an open source (GPL) car navigation software for Linux systems. It will display your position on a map (in bird-view mode or as a 3D "visualization") from GPS sensor data, and can provide precise route calculation, touch screen functionality and supports Points of Interest (POI), which can be extended via an easy to use plugin system. Unlike other navigation systems, Navit maps are dynamically generated in real time from vector data. Information about Navit can be found [http://wiki.navit-project.org/index.php/Main_Page on the Navit wiki].<br />
<br />
== Where do you get the latest version of Navit for WebOS 1.4.5 and above ? ==<br />
<br />
There is a bug in the OTA (over the air) update from 1.4.1 to 1.4.5 that prevents Navit from working. To check for the bug open a Terminal or Novaterm and issue this command 'cat /etc/fstab|grep internal'. You should get the following line:<br />
<br />
/dev/mapper/store-media /media/internal vfat utf8,shortname=mixed,umask=0000 0 0<br />
<br />
If your line do not have the 'umask=0000' statement then you need to fix this first as explained here => http://developer.palm.com/distribution/viewtopic.php?p=34750<br />
Thanks to Rod there is now an app in The Preware Testing feed that can do the fix for you => http://forums.precentral.net/showthread.php?p=2556103<br />
<br />
Eine Deutsche Anleitung zum beheben des Problemes ist hier zu finden => http://www.nexave.de/forum/39654-fehler-im-ota-1-4-5-update.html<br />
<br />
# Open Preware. Select available applications. Then type 'Navit' and install as any other WebOS application.<br />
# This will automatically install two other needed packages if you not have installed them. The packages are 'speechd' and 'locale'.<br />
# You settings are migrated if you had installed the Navit Alpha before. Then you can skip step 4-8 the rest.<br />
# Now start Navit. You will see the OSD but no map as this will be installed in the next step. This first start will create the default settings and the emty folder for the map.<br />

== Using Map&Guide maps ==<br />
<br />
For all Europe uses. You can get a good Mapset from Amazon for 5 Euro => [http://www.amazon.de/Marco-Polo-Gro%C3%9Fer-Reiseplaner-DVD-ROM/dp/3829731426/ Marco Polo Großer Reiseplaner 2007/2008 (DVD-ROM) auf Amazon.de]<br />
<br />
The disadvantage is that the complete map is 3GB, if you only take Germany and the Major roots of Europe it is still 1GB.<br />
<br />
'''For Linux'''<br />
# Change directory to where DVD is mounted<br />
# Unpack data2.cab with: unshield x travel/data2.cab <br />
# Now, you should get a directory named like DIRLAN_GER.<br />
# Inside you find the maps...<br />
'''For Windows'''<br />
# Install the appliaction<br />
# you find the maps in a folder inside the program folder.<br />
<br />
'''Installing the maps'''<br />
# The dem.map folder with all the majors roads and towns of Europe...<br />
# ...and five smpX.smp folders, which contain the details of countries:<br />
* smp1: DK,S,N,IS,FIN,N<br />
* smp2: F,E,GBZ,P,AND,MC<br />
* smp3: Germany<br />
* smp4: CZ,SK,RSM,EST,GEO,LV,LT,MD,RUS,UA,BY,GR,H,I,RO,CH,A,PL,AL,MT,CY,BG,FL,SRB,MNE,HR,SLO,BIH,MK,TR,AZ,AM,V<br />
* smp5: NL,B,GB,L,IRL <br />
# copy the dem.map folder into a place on your hard drive<br />
# remove all *d60* files from the dem.map folder<br />
# copy the dem.map folder into /MaypsNavit on you usb drive<br />
# copy the smpX.smp folder you need into /MaypsNavit/dem.map folder<br />
# open appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/navit.xml and change the following:<br />
<mapset enabled="yes"><br />
<map type="binfile" enabled="yes" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/*.bin"/><br />
</mapset><br />
to <br />
<mapset enabled="yes"><br />
<map type="binfile" enabled="yes" active="yes" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/osm/*.bin"/><br />
<map type="mg" enabled="yes" active="no" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/dem.map" /><br />
<map type="mg" enabled="yes" active="no" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/dem.map/smp3.smp" /><br />
</mapset><br />
<br />
Now you can switch between the OSM and the M&G maps from the settings/maps menu inside of Navit. The OSM map is the default. To make M&G the default you need to invert the active switches.<br />
<br />
I would expect the the Map&Guide maps for other countries will also work. But you need to find a cheep Product that contains them.<br />
<br />
If you have the m&g and the OSM maps on your USB drive then you can use the index from the m&g maps for searching and the OSM maps for routing and display. To do this you need to add the mapset this way:<br />
<mapset enabled="yes"><br />
<map type="mg" enabled="yes" active="no" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/dem.map/smp3.smp" /><br />
<map type="mg" enabled="yes" active="no" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/dem.map" /><br />
<map type="binfile" enabled="yes" active="yes" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/osm/*.bin"/><br />
</mapset><br />
It looks like Navit uses the street index of the first enabled map even if it is not active.<br />
<br />
== Why don't I get the new skins we see below? ==<br />
<br />
Navit only copies in the new XML files if the Navit.xml is not there. You need to delete the old ones to get the new.<br />
<br />
<br />
You find the xml files on the USB drive J: (or another drive X: when your Pre is in USB mode (not charge only mode) depending upon your PC setup.<br />
<br />
Located here J:/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/<br />
<br />
To switch between the three skins shown below you need to open the navit.xml in appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/ . At the bottom you find the section where the skin is included. Remove the comment makers "" from the skin you plan to use and add them to the current skin. <br />
<br />
== Only as a start. Some images of the current skins: ==<br />
<br />
<br />
Skin PreNav:<br />

== How to get around the menus v2(still not complete)''' ==<br />
<br />
''As an aside the screen captures don't work on full screen - sorry.''<br />
<br />
Main screen is seen here before GPS lock <br />
<br />
[[Image:Start_screen.png]] (here the last saved GPS position is used to choose the starting map).<br />
<br />
Press your finger on the screen and "push" the map around to get the desired location (where you are now or where you want to go) right into the centre of the screen (if you want to zoom into a location use the + button). Tap the screen and you will get the Main Menu shown here.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Main_menu.png]]<br />
Since we want to go somewhere tap on Actions.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Actions_menu.png]]<br />
Now you have a choice of the Location at the center of the map screen, the location of the car (no good here as GPS has not locked in), the Location of a saved Bookmark, or searching for a Location in your OSM or other map you have already loaded into your Pre at /media/NavitMaps/. Choosing Town we get this screen.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Town_view.png]]<br />
Now unless you live in the USA you can now enter a town. If not tap on the US flag and you should get this screen.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Town_view2.png]]<br />
Now Type in your country eg Au will give at least two countries to choose from. Select one and you will then get to enter a town, the street and then house. Lots of times this does not work too well as the House numbering is not available. In this case follow instructions below on How to Plan a Route. <br />
<br />
OK I have told NAVIT that I wish to go to my new destination and now its ready to go. <br />
<br />
<br />
[[Image:Navit_OK_to_drive.png]] <br />
<br />
<br />
It shows the way to go as a BIG FAT BLUE line as well as speaking the directions. If you want to read the directions Chooose Route then Description. The voice reads these out as you go along the route. Now Rod Whitby can guess where I live.<br />
<br />
[[Now you want to change from a CAR to a Pedestrian, Horse or BIKE!]]<br />
<br />
Choose the Main Menu, then choose Settings and you will see this<br />
<br />
[[Image:Settings_menu.png]]<br />
Now choose Vehicle and you will see this<br />
<br />
[[Image:Vehicle_screen.png]]<br />
Now select GPS and you will see your last choice which is shown here as a car.<br />
<br />
[[Image:GPS_screen_car.png]]<br />
Press once on the row Change profile to: pedestrian (for example)<br />
Then at the top of the screen press on VEHICLE. This will get you back to the GPS screen. Now if you select GPS again you will get this screen confirming you are now a pedestrian.<br />
<br />
[[Image:GPS_screen_ped.png]]<br />
Enjoy :-)<br />

<br />
Helpful notes from vreihen on 18 and 26 May 2010 now follow,<br />
<br />
== On starting up issues ie '''why the map layer isn't loading?''' ==<br />
<br />
<br />
When Navit first starts up, it uses the north pole as it's initial position (if I recall correctly) until it gets an initial GPS fix. Your map layer problem may be that the GPS point is still at the north pole, or perhaps outside of the map that you have installed. If you tap on the center of the screen and tap on actions, there will be an icon of a car and an icon of a globe. The car icon is your current position, and should contain a non-zero latitude and longitude if your GPS is working and has a fix. Verify that those coordinates are where you are located before you dig any deeper into the maps as the cause of the missing layer.<br />
<br />
The information panels at the bottom of the screen are only populated when Navit is navigating between two points. Otherwise, they should be blank.<br />
<br />
If all else fails with the maps, you could download the entire planet.bin if you have 3.5 gigs of free USB flash space in your phone to eliminate the map file as the cause of your problem.....<br />
<br />
== On '''how to plan a route''' ==<br />
<br />
<br />
1) Scroll through the map until you can see the location that you want to drive to.<br />
<br />
2) Zoom in tight on the screen, if necessary. Tap on your destination on the map.<br />
<br />
3) When Navit opens it's main menu, tap on actions.<br />
<br />
4) The car icon should show your current latitude/longitude. (Just saying)<br />
<br />
5) The globe icon should show the destination latitude/longitude that you tapped on the map.<br />
<br />
6) Tap on the globe icon.<br />
<br />
7) From the menu that pops up, select either bookmark this location (recommended) or navigate to this location.<br />
<br />
8) If you chose to bookmark it, tap actions | bookmarks, then tap your bookmark. Select navigate to this location.<br />
<br />
9) Depending on the distance you asked it to go, Navit should pop up the first driving direction and speak it to you within 5-10 seconds.<br />
<br />
The OSM map data apparently does not contain the concept of a state, so navigating by state/city/street lookup is difficult to impossible. Navigating by bookmark on the map is the only option for the time being.....<br />
<br />
''' Changing The Starting position'''<br />
<br />
You might want to change the starting position of navit, especially if you are using Navit without a GPS. You can get your coordinates here: http://itouchmap.com/latlong.html<br />
<br />
You can change the starting position in navit.xml, here :<br />
<br />
<navit gui="..." graphics="..." center="4808 N 1134 E" zoom="128" ><br />
<br />
The latitude and longitude are written as multiplied by 100, i.e. you won't see the decimal point. For example, instead of 48.08, enter 4808.<br />
<br />
<br />
== So you want Miles not km? ==<br />

== Summary ==<br />
<br />
[[Image:Navit_icon.png|50px|left]]<br />
Navit is an open source (GPL) car navigation software for Linux systems. It will display your position on a map (in bird-view mode or as a 3D "visualization") from GPS sensor data, and can provide precise route calculation, touch screen functionality and supports Points of Interest (POI), which can be extended via an easy to use plugin system. Unlike other navigation systems, Navit maps are dynamically generated in real time from vector data. Information about Navit can be found [http://wiki.navit-project.org/index.php/Main_Page on the Navit wiki].<br />

== Using Map&Guide maps ==<br />
<br />
For all Europe uses. You can get a good Mapset from Amazon for 5 Euro => [http://www.amazon.de/Marco-Polo-Gro%C3%9Fer-Reiseplaner-DVD-ROM/dp/3829731426/ Marco Polo Großer Reiseplaner 2007/2008 (DVD-ROM) auf Amazon.de]<br />
<br />
The disadvantage is that the complete map is 3GB, if you only take Germany and the Major roots of Europe it is still 1GB.<br />
<br />
'''For Linux'''<br />
# Change directory to where DVD is mounted<br />
# Unpack data2.cab with: unshield x travel/data2.cab <br />
# Now, you should get a directory named like DIRLAN_GER.<br />
# Inside you find the maps...<br />
'''For Windows'''<br />
# Install the appliaction<br />
# you find the maps in a folder inside the program folder.<br />
<br />
'''Installing the maps'''<br />
# The dem.map folder with all the majors roads and towns of Europe...<br />
# ...and five smpX.smp folders, which contain the details of countries:<br />
* smp1: DK,S,N,IS,FIN,N<br />
* smp2: F,E,GBZ,P,AND,MC<br />
* smp3: Germany<br />
* smp4: CZ,SK,RSM,EST,GEO,LV,LT,MD,RUS,UA,BY,GR,H,I,RO,CH,A,PL,AL,MT,CY,BG,FL,SRB,MNE,HR,SLO,BIH,MK,TR,AZ,AM,V<br />
* smp5: NL,B,GB,L,IRL <br />
# copy the dem.map folder into a place on your hard drive<br />
# remove all *d60* files from the dem.map folder<br />
# copy the dem.map folder into /MaypsNavit on you usb drive<br />
# copy the smpX.smp folder you need into /MaypsNavit/dem.map folder<br />
# open appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/navit.xml and change the following:<br />
<mapset enabled="yes"><br />
<map type="binfile" enabled="yes" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/*.bin"/><br />
</mapset><br />
to <br />
<mapset enabled="yes"><br />
<map type="binfile" enabled="yes" active="yes" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/osm/*.bin"/><br />
<map type="mg" enabled="yes" active="no" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/dem.map" /><br />
<map type="mg" enabled="yes" active="no" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/dem.map/smp3.smp" /><br />
</mapset><br />
<br />
Now you can switch between the OSM and the M&G maps from the settings/maps menu inside of Navit. The OSM map is the default. To make M&G the default you need to invert the active switches.<br />
<br />
I would expect the the Map&Guide maps for other countries will also work. But you need to find a cheep Product that contains them.<br />
<br />
If you have the m&g and the OSM maps on your USB drive then you can use the index from the m&g maps for searching and the OSM maps for routing and display. To do this you need to add the mapset this way:<br />
<mapset enabled="yes"><br />
<map type="mg" enabled="yes" active="no" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/dem.map/smp3.smp" /><br />
<map type="mg" enabled="yes" active="no" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/dem.map" /><br />
<map type="binfile" enabled="yes" active="yes" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/osm/*.bin"/><br />
</mapset><br />
It looks like Navit uses the street index of the first enabled map even if it is not active.<br />
<br />
== Why don't I get the new skins we see below? ==<br />
<br />
Navit only copies in the new XML files if the Navit.xml is not there. You need to delete the old ones to get the new.<br />
<br />
<br />
You find the xml files on the USB drive J: (or another drive X: when your Pre is in USB mode (not charge only mode) depending upon your PC setup.<br />
<br />
Located here J:/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/<br />
<br />
To switch between the three skins shown below you need to open the navit.xml in appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/ . At the bottom you find the section where the skin is included. Remove the comment makers "" from the skin you plan to use and add them to the current skin. <br />
<br />
== Only as a start. Some images of the current skins: ==<br />
<br />
<br />
Skin PreNav:<br />

<br />
== How to get around the menus (not complete)''' ==<br />
<br />
''As an aside the screen captures don't work on full screen - sorry.''<br />
<br />
Main screen is seen here before GPS lock <br />
<br />
[[Image:Start_screen.png]] (here the last saved GPS position is used to choose the starting map).<br />
<br />
Press your finger on the screen and "push" the map around to get the desired location (where you are now or where you want to go) right into the centre of the screen (if you want to zoom into a location use the + button). Tap the screen and you will get the Main Menu shown here.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Main_menu.png]]<br />
Since we want to go somewhere tap on Actions.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Actions_menu.png]]<br />
Now you have a choice of the Location at the center of the map screen, the location of the car (no good here as GPS has not locked in), the Location of a saved Bookmark, or searching for a Location in your OSM or other map you have already loaded into your Pre at /media/NavitMaps/. Choosing Town we get this screen.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Town_view.png]]<br />
Now unless you live in the USA you can now enter a town. If not tap on the US flag and you should get this screen.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Town_view2.png]]<br />
Now Type in your country eg Au will give at least two countries to choose from. Select one and you will then get to enter a town, the street and then house. Lots of times this does not work too well as the House numbering is not available. In this case follow instructions below on How to Plan a Route. <br />
<br />
OK I have told NAVIT that I wish to go to my new destination and now its ready to go. <br />
<br />
<br />
[[Image:Navit_OK_to_drive.png]] <br />
<br />
<br />
It shows the way to go as a BIG FAT BLUE line as well as speaking the directions. If you want to read the directions Chooose Route then Description. The voice reads these out as you go along the route. Now Rod Whitby can guess where I live.<br />
<br />
<br />
Helpful notes from vreihen on 18 and 26 May 2010 now follow,<br />
<br />
<br />
== On starting up issues ie '''why the map layer isn't loading?''' ==<br />
<br />
<br />
When Navit first starts up, it uses the north pole as it's initial position (if I recall correctly) until it gets an initial GPS fix. Your map layer problem may be that the GPS point is still at the north pole, or perhaps outside of the map that you have installed. If you tap on the center of the screen and tap on actions, there will be an icon of a car and an icon of a globe. The car icon is your current position, and should contain a non-zero latitude and longitude if your GPS is working and has a fix. Verify that those coordinates are where you are located before you dig any deeper into the maps as the cause of the missing layer.<br />
<br />
The information panels at the bottom of the screen are only populated when Navit is navigating between two points. Otherwise, they should be blank.<br />
<br />
If all else fails with the maps, you could download the entire planet.bin if you have 3.5 gigs of free USB flash space in your phone to eliminate the map file as the cause of your problem.....<br />
<br />
== On '''how to plan a route''' ==<br />
<br />
<br />
1) Scroll through the map until you can see the location that you want to drive to.<br />
<br />
2) Zoom in tight on the screen, if necessary. Tap on your destination on the map.<br />
<br />
3) When Navit opens it's main menu, tap on actions.<br />
<br />
4) The car icon should show your current latitude/longitude. (Just saying)<br />
<br />
5) The globe icon should show the destination latitude/longitude that you tapped on the map.<br />
<br />
6) Tap on the globe icon.<br />
<br />
7) From the menu that pops up, select either bookmark this location (recommended) or navigate to this location.<br />
<br />
8) If you chose to bookmark it, tap actions | bookmarks, then tap your bookmark. Select navigate to this location.<br />
<br />
9) Depending on the distance you asked it to go, Navit should pop up the first driving direction and speak it to you within 5-10 seconds.<br />
<br />
The OSM map data apparently does not contain the concept of a state, so navigating by state/city/street lookup is difficult to impossible. Navigating by bookmark on the map is the only option for the time being.....<br />
<br />
''' Changing The Starting position'''<br />
<br />
You might want to change the starting position of navit, especially if you are using Navit without a GPS. You can get your coordinates here: http://itouchmap.com/latlong.html<br />
<br />
You can change the starting position in navit.xml, here :<br />
<br />
<navit gui="..." graphics="..." center="4808 N 1134 E" zoom="128" ><br />
<br />
The latitude and longitude are written as multiplied by 100, i.e. you won't see the decimal point. For example, instead of 48.08, enter 4808.<br />
<br />
<br />

== Summary ==<br />
<br />
[[Image:Navit_icon.png|50px|left]]<br />
Navit is an open source (GPL) car navigation software for Linux systems. It will display your position on a map (in bird-view mode or as a 3D "visualization") from GPS sensor data, and can provide precise route calculation, touch screen functionality and supports Points of Interest (POI), which can be extended via an easy to use plugin system. Unlike other navigation systems, Navit maps are dynamically generated in real time from vector data. Information about Navit can be found [http://wiki.navit-project.org/index.php/Main_Page on the Navit wiki].<br />

Note Preware install method is not yet available, its promised in the future once the Palm PDK is officially released. If you have old versions of navit and espeak then use Preware or WebOSQuickInstall to delete them, although the locale ipk could be left alone.<br />
# You need to install at least the navit and the espeak ipk. You will see an Icon for both Navit and espeak (press it first and you get a speech to confirm it works!)<br />
# The default of the Navit menus and speak output is English. To get a other local language working you need to install the locale ipk for your lang/county. I made some small once with only one lang_COUNTRY combination and one big with all I have. Only use the all one if you can not find a matching other, as the installed size is about 64MB for the all one. ONLY INSTALL ONE LOCAL IPK AT THE TIME!!!!!! '''At the moment there is a bug when you remove an locale ipk. One symbolic link is not removed. You need to do this manually by executing the following commands from novterm or from the WOQI command line: <br />
## mount -o remount,rw /<br />
## rm /usr/lib/locale<br />

<br />
== Where do you get the latest version of Navit for WeobOS 1.4.5 and above ? ==<br />
<br />
There is a bug in the OTA (over the air) update from 1.4.1 to 1.4.5 that prevents Navit from working. To check for the bug open a Terminal or Novaterm and issue this command 'cat /etc/fstab|grep internal'. You should get the following line:<br />

Navit only copies in the new XML files if the Navit.xml is not there. You need to delete the old ones to get the new.<br />

<br />
<br />
== On starting up issues ie '''why the map layer isn't loading?''' ==<br />
<br />
<br />
When Navit first starts up, it uses the north pole as it's initial position (if I recall correctly) until it gets an initial GPS fix. Your map layer problem may be that the GPS point is still at the north pole, or perhaps outside of the map that you have installed. If you tap on the center of the screen and tap on actions, there will be an icon of a car and an icon of a globe. The car icon is your current position, and should contain a non-zero latitude and longitude if your GPS is working and has a fix. Verify that those coordinates are where you are located before you dig any deeper into the maps as the cause of the missing layer.<br />
<br />
The information panels at the bottom of the screen are only populated when Navit is navigating between two points. Otherwise, they should be blank.<br />
<br />
If all else fails with the maps, you could download the entire planet.bin if you have 3.5 gigs of free USB flash space in your phone to eliminate the map file as the cause of your problem.....<br />

== On '''how to plan a route''' ==<br />
<br />
<br />
1) Scroll through the map until you can see the location that you want to drive to.<br />
<br />
2) Zoom in tight on the screen, if necessary. Tap on your destination on the map.<br />
<br />
3) When Navit opens it's main menu, tap on actions.<br />
<br />
4) The car icon should show your current latitude/longitude. (Just saying)<br />
<br />
5) The globe icon should show the destination latitude/longitude that you tapped on the map.<br />
<br />
6) Tap on the globe icon.<br />
<br />
7) From the menu that pops up, select either bookmark this location (recommended) or navigate to this location.<br />
<br />
8) If you chose to bookmark it, tap actions | bookmarks, then tap your bookmark. Select navigate to this location.<br />
<br />
9) Depending on the distance you asked it to go, Navit should pop up the first driving direction and speak it to you within 5-10 seconds.<br />
<br />
The OSM map data apparently does not contain the concept of a state, so navigating by state/city/street lookup is difficult to impossible. Navigating by bookmark on the map is the only option for the time being.....<br />
<br />
''' Changing The Starting position'''<br />
<br />
You might want to change the starting position of navit, especially if you are using Navit without a GPS. You can get your coordinates here: http://itouchmap.com/latlong.html<br />
<br />
You can change the starting position in navit.xml, here :<br />
<br />
<navit gui="..." graphics="..." center="4808 N 1134 E" zoom="128" ><br />
<br />
The latitude and longitude are written as multiplied by 100, i.e. you won't see the decimal point. For example, instead of 48.08, enter 4808.<br />
<br />

== Summary ==<br />
<br />
[[Image:Navit_icon.png|50px|left]]<br />
Navit is an open source (GPL) car navigation software for Linux systems. It will display your position on a map (in bird-view mode or as a 3D "visualization") from GPS sensor data, and can provide precise route calculation, touch screen functionality and supports Points of Interest (POI), which can be extended via an easy to use plugin system. Unlike other navigation systems, Navit maps are dynamically generated in real time from vector data. Information about Navit can be found [http://wiki.navit-project.org/index.php/Main_Page on the Navit wiki].<br />
<br />
'''Note''' : '''there is a french translation for the english Navit wiki page here : http://www.webos-internals.org/index.php?title=Application:Navit-FR'''<br />

== Where do you get the latest ALPHA version of Navit for WeobOS 1.4.1 ? ==<br />
<br />
<br />
HaPe and noradtux have put this ALPHA version into a zip file all for you to enjoy, test, curse, and provide feedback at <br />
http://forums.precentral.net/webos-internals/224609-navit-pre.html<br />
<br />
'''Attention: This packages only work with webos < 1.4.5 . A version for 1.4.5 and above will be in Preware when finished.'''<br />
<br />
You get the zip file for webos < 1.4.5 here => [http://www.hp-jochmann.de/Download.nsf/Download?OpenAgent&doc=37B8A6BE782A7E04C1257702006A6DCD Navit Alpha]<br />
<br />
'''Attention: This packages only work with webos < 1.4.5 . A version for 1.4.5 and above will be in Preware when finished.'''<br />
<br />
As instructed by HaPe you install it onto your Pre by, <br />
<br />
# The zip file contains a navit ipk, a espeak ipk and some locale ipks. The easy way to install is by using WebOSQuickInstall found here http://forums.precentral.net/canuck-software/228310-webos-quick-install-v3-14-a.html . Note Preware install method is not yet available, its promised in the future once the Palm PDK is officially released. If you have old versions of navit and espeak then use Preware or WebOSQuickInstall to delete them, although the locale ipk could be left alone.<br />
# You need to install at least the navit and the espeak ipk. You will see an Icon for both Navit and espeak (press it first and you get a speech to confirm it works!)<br />
# The default of the Navit menus and speak output is English. To get a other local language working you need to install the locale ipk for your lang/county. I made some small once with only one lang_COUNTRY combination and one big with all I have. Only use the all one if you can not find a matching other, as the installed size is about 64MB for the all one. ONLY INSTALL ONE LOCAL IPK AT THE TIME!!!!!! '''At the moment there is a bug when you remove an locale ipk. One symbolic link is not removed. You need to do this manually by executing the following commands from novterm or from the WOQI command line: <br />
## mount -o remount,rw /<br />
## rm /usr/lib/locale<br />
## mount -o remount,ro /'''<br />
# You also need a map. Go to http://maps.navit-project.org/download/ and create one of the part of the world you need or look for created maps here => http://wiki.navit-project.org/index.php/OpenStreetMaps Connect your Pre in USB mode, create a folder named MapsNavit and put the *.bin file into it. ''Note I (PreRunr) have found that small is better (faster processing) and that the Cloudmade maps can have problems so use the extractor version first. Many POIs seems to stuff it up so CHOOSE the T@H display option if your screen locks up and requires a restart - hopefully our experts will fix this up in later versions.''<br />
# To switch between the three skins you need to open the navit.xml in .app-storage/file_.media.cryptofs.apps.usr.palm.applications.org.webosinternals.navit_0/ . At the bottom you find the section where the skin is included. Remove the comment makers "<!--" and "-->" from the skin you plan to use and add them to the current skin.<br />
# Try it out!<br />
# Look at .app-storage/file_.media.cryptofs.apps.usr.palm.applications.org.webosinternals.navit_0/navit.log on you USB drive if Navit is not working as expected. If Navit has problems it writes the information into this log file.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Where do you get the latest version of Navit for WeobOS 1.4.5 and above ? ==<br />
<br />
There is a bug in the OTA (over the air) update from 1.4.1 to 1.4.5 that prevents Navit from working. To check for the bug open a Terminal or Novaterm and issue this command 'cat /etc/fstab|grep internal'. You should get the following line:<br />
<br />
/dev/mapper/store-media /media/internal vfat utf8,shortname=mixed,umask=0000 0 0<br />
<br />
If your line do not have the 'umask=0000' statement then you need to fix this first as explained here => http://developer.palm.com/distribution/viewtopic.php?p=34750<br />
Thanks to Rod there is now an app in The Preware Testing feed that can do the fix for you => http://forums.precentral.net/showthread.php?p=2556103<br />
<br />
Eine Deutsche Anleitung zum beheben des Problemes ist hier zu finden => http://www.nexave.de/forum/39654-fehler-im-ota-1-4-5-update.html<br />
<br />
# Open Preware. Select available applications. Then type 'Navit' and install as any other WebOS application.<br />
# This will automatically install two other needed packages if you not have installed them. The packages are 'speechd' and 'locale'.<br />
# You settings are migrated if you had installed the Navit Alpha before. Then you can skip step 4-8 the rest.<br />
# Now start Navit. You will see the OSD but no map as this will be installed in the next step. This first start will create the default settings and the emty folder for the map.<br />
# Quit Navit and connect your Pre to your PC in USB mode.<br />
# You also need a map. Go to http://maps.navit-project.org/download/ and create one of the part of the world you need or look for created maps here => http://wiki.navit-project.org/index.php/OpenStreetMaps ''Note I (PreRunr) have found that small is better (faster processing) and that the Cloudmade maps can have problems so use the extractor version first.''<br />

<br />
== Using Map&Guide maps ==<br />
<br />
For all Europe uses. You can get a good Mapset from Amazon for 5 Euro => [http://www.amazon.de/Marco-Polo-Gro%C3%9Fer-Reiseplaner-DVD-ROM/dp/3829731426/ Marco Polo Großer Reiseplaner 2007/2008 (DVD-ROM) auf Amazon.de]<br />
<br />
The disadvantage is that the complete map is 3GB, if you only take Germany and the Major roots of Europe it is still 1GB.<br />
<br />
'''For Linux'''<br />
# Change directory to where DVD is mounted<br />
# Unpack data2.cab with: unshield x travel/data2.cab <br />
# Now, you should get a directory named like DIRLAN_GER.<br />
# Inside you find the maps...<br />
'''For Windows'''<br />
# Install the appliaction<br />
# you find the maps in a folder inside the program folder.<br />
<br />
'''Installing the maps'''<br />
# The dem.map folder with all the majors roads and towns of Europe...<br />
# ...and five smpX.smp folders, which contain the details of countries:<br />
* smp1: DK,S,N,IS,FIN,N<br />
* smp2: F,E,GBZ,P,AND,MC<br />
* smp3: Germany<br />
* smp4: CZ,SK,RSM,EST,GEO,LV,LT,MD,RUS,UA,BY,GR,H,I,RO,CH,A,PL,AL,MT,CY,BG,FL,SRB,MNE,HR,SLO,BIH,MK,TR,AZ,AM,V<br />
* smp5: NL,B,GB,L,IRL <br />
# copy the dem.map folder into a place on your hard drive<br />
# remove all *d60* files from the dem.map folder<br />
# copy the dem.map folder into /MaypsNavit on you usb drive<br />
# copy the smpX.smp folder you need into /MaypsNavit/dem.map folder<br />
# open appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/navit.xml and change the following:<br />
<mapset enabled="yes"><br />
<map type="binfile" enabled="yes" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/*.bin"/><br />
</mapset><br />
to <br />
<mapset enabled="yes"><br />
<map type="binfile" enabled="yes" active="yes" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/osm/*.bin"/><br />
<map type="mg" enabled="yes" active="no" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/dem.map" /><br />
<map type="mg" enabled="yes" active="no" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/dem.map/smp3.smp" /><br />
</mapset><br />
<br />
Now you can switch between the OSM and the M&G maps from the settings/maps menu inside of Navit. The OSM map is the default. To make M&G the default you need to invert the active switches.<br />
<br />
I would expect the the Map&Guide maps for other countries will also work. But you need to find a cheep Product that contains them.<br />
<br />
If you have the m&g and the OSM maps on your USB drive then you can use the index from the m&g maps for searching and the OSM maps for routing and display. To do this you need to add the mapset this way:<br />
<mapset enabled="yes"><br />
<map type="mg" enabled="yes" active="no" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/dem.map/smp3.smp" /><br />
<map type="mg" enabled="yes" active="no" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/dem.map" /><br />
<map type="binfile" enabled="yes" active="yes" data="/media/internal/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/maps/osm/*.bin"/><br />
</mapset><br />
It looks like Navit uses the street index of the first enabled map even if it is not active.<br />
<br />
== Why don't I get the new skins we see below? ==<br />
<br />
Navit only copies in the new XML files if the Navit.xml is not there. You need to delete the old ones to get the new.<br />
<br />
<br />
You find the xml files on the USB drive J: (or another drive X: when your Pre is in USB mode (not charge only mode) depending upon your PC setup.<br />
<br />
Located here J:/appdata/org.webosinternals.navit/<br />
<br />

== How to get around the menus (not complete)''' ==<br />
<br />
''As an aside the screen captures don't work on full screen - sorry.''<br />
<br />
Main screen is seen here before GPS lock <br />
<br />
[[Image:Start_screen.png]] (here the last saved GPS position is used to choose the starting map).<br />
<br />
Press your finger on the screen and "push" the map around to get the desired location (where you are now or where you want to go) right into the centre of the screen (if you want to zoom into a location use the + button). Tap the screen and you will get the Main Menu shown here.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Main_menu.png]]<br />
Since we want to go somewhere tap on Actions.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Actions_menu.png]]<br />
Now you have a choice of the Location at the center of the map screen, the location of the car (no good here as GPS has not locked in), the Location of a saved Bookmark, or searching for a Location in your OSM or other map you have already loaded into your Pre at /media/NavitMaps/. Choosing Town we get this screen.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Town_view.png]]<br />
Now unless you live in the USA you can now enter a town. If not tap on the US flag and you should get this screen.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Town_view2.png]]<br />
Now Type in your country eg Au will give at least two countries to choose from. Select one and you will then get to enter a town, the street and then house. Lots of times this does not work too well as the House numbering is not available. In this case follow instructions below on How to Plan a Route. <br />
<br />
OK I have told NAVIT that I wish to go to my new destination and now its ready to go. <br />
<br />
<br />
[[Image:Navit_OK_to_drive.png]] <br />
<br />
<br />
It shows the way to go as a BIG FAT BLUE line as well as speaking the directions. If you want to read the directions Chooose Route then Description. The voice reads these out as you go along the route. Now Rod Whitby can guess where I live.<br />

== On starting up issues ie '''why the map layer isn't loading?''' ==<br />
<br />
<br />
When Navit first starts up, it uses the north pole as it's initial position (if I recall correctly) until it gets an initial GPS fix. Your map layer problem may be that the GPS point is still at the north pole, or perhaps outside of the map that you have installed. If you tap on the center of the screen and tap on actions, there will be an icon of a car and an icon of a globe. The car icon is your current position, and should contain a non-zero latitude and longitude if your GPS is working and has a fix. Verify that those coordinates are where you are located before you dig any deeper into the maps as the cause of the missing layer.<br />
<br />
The information panels at the bottom of the screen are only populated when Navit is navigating between two points. Otherwise, they should be blank.<br />
<br />
If all else fails with the maps, you could download the entire planet.bin if you have 3.5 gigs of free USB flash space in your phone to eliminate the map file as the cause of your problem.....<br />

9) Depending on the distance you asked it to go, Navit should pop up the first driving direction and speak it to you within 5-10 seconds.<br />

''' Changing The Starting position'''<br />
<br />
You might want to change the starting position of navit, especially if you are using Navit without a GPS. You can get your coordinates here: http://itouchmap.com/latlong.html<br />
<br />
You can change the starting position in navit.xml, here :<br />
<br />
<navit gui="..." graphics="..." center="4808 N 1134 E" zoom="128" ><br />
<br />
The latitude and longitude are written as multiplied by 100, i.e. you won't see the decimal point. For example, instead of 48.08, enter 4808.<br />
<br />
<br />
== So you want Miles not km? ==<br />

<div>== Where do you get the latest ALPHA version of Navit? ==<br />
<br />
<br />
HaPe and noradtux have put this ALPHA version into a zip file all for you to enjoy, test, curse, and provide feedback at <br />
http://forums.precentral.net/webos-internals/224609-navit-pre.html<br />
<br />
You get the zip file here<br />
http://www.hp-jochmann.de/Download.nsf/Download?OpenAgent&doc=37B8A6BE782A7E04C1257702006A6DCD<br />
<br />
As instructed by HaPe you install it onto your Pre by, <br />
<br />
1) The zip file contains a navit ipk, a espeak ipk and some locale ipks. The easy way to install is by using WebOSQuickInstall found here http://forums.precentral.net/canuck-software/228310-webos-quick-install-v3-12-a.html . Note Preware install method is not yet available, its promised in the future once the Palm PDK is officially released. If you have old versions of navit and espeak then use Preware or WebOSQuickInstall to delete them, although the locale ipk could be left alone.<br />
<br />
2) You need to install at least the navit and the espeak ipk. You will see an Icon for both Navit and espeak (press it first and you get a speech to confirm it works!)<br />
<br />
3) To get the local language working you need to install the locale ipk for your lang/county. I made some small once with only one lang_COUNTRY combination and one big with all I have. Only use the all one if you can not find a matching other, as the installed size is about 64MB for the all one. ONLY INSTALL ONE LOCAL IPK AT THE TIME!!!!!!<br />
<br />
4) You also need a map. Go to http://maps.navit-project.org/download/ and create one of the part of the world you need or look for created maps here => http://wiki.navit-project.org/index.php/OpenStreetMaps<br />
Connect your Pre in USB mode, create a folder named MapsNavit and put the *.bin file into it.<br />
<br />
''Note I (PreRunr) have found that small is better (faster processing) and that the Cloudmade maps can have problems so use the extractor version first. Many POIs seems to stuff it up so CHOOSE the T@H display option if your screen locks up and requires a restart - hopefully our experts will fix this up in later versions.''<br />
<br />
5) To switch between the three skins you need to open the navit.xml in .app-storage/file_.media.cryptofs.apps.usr.palm.applications.org.webosinternals.navit_0/ . At the button you find the section where the skin is included. Remove the comment makers "<!--" and "-->" from the skin you plan to use and add them to the current skin.<br />
<br />
6) Try it out!<br />
<br />

[[Image:Start_screen.png]] (here the last saved GPS position is used to choose the starting map).<br />
<br />
Press your finger on the screen and "push" the map around to get the desired location (where you are now or where you want to go) right into the centre of the screen (if you want to zoom into a location use the + button). Tap the screen and you will get the Main Menu shown here.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Main_menu.png]]<br />
Since we want to go somewhere tap on Actions.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Actions_menu.png]]<br />
Now you have a choice of the Location at the center of the map screen, the location of the car (no good here as GPS has not locked in), the Location of a saved Bookmark, or searching for a Location in your OSM or other map you have already loaded into your Pre at /media/NavitMaps/. Choosing Town we get this screen.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Town_view.png]]<br />
Now unless you live in the USA you can now enter a town. If not tap on the US flag and you should get this screen.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Town_view2.png]]<br />
Now Type in your country eg Au will give at least two countries to choose from. Select one and you will then get to enter a town, the street and then house. Lots of times this does not work too well as the House numbering is not available. In this case follow instructions below on How to Plan a Route. <br />
<br />
OK I have told NAVIT that I wish to go to my new destination and now its ready to go. <br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
== On starting up issues ie '''why the map layer isn't loading?''' ==<br />
<br />
<br />
When Navit first starts up, it uses the north pole as it's initial position (if I recall correctly) until it gets an initial GPS fix. Your map layer problem may be that the GPS point is still at the north pole, or perhaps outside of the map that you have installed. If you tap on the center of the screen and tap on actions, there will be an icon of a car and an icon of a globe. The car icon is your current position, and should contain a non-zero latitude and longitude if your GPS is working and has a fix. Verify that those coordinates are where you are located before you dig any deeper into the maps as the cause of the missing layer.<br />
<br />
The information panels at the bottom of the screen are only populated when Navit is navigating between two points. Otherwise, they should be blank.<br />
<br />
If all else fails with the maps, you could download the entire planet.bin if you have 3.5 gigs of free USB flash space in your phone to eliminate the map file as the cause of your problem.....<br />
<br />
== On '''how to plan a route''' ==<br />
<br />
<br />
1) Scroll through the map until you can see the location that you want to drive to.<br />
<br />
2) Zoom in tight on the screen, if necessary. Tap on your destination on the map.<br />
<br />
3) When Navit opens it's main menu, tap on actions.<br />
<br />
4) The car icon should show your current latitude/longitude. (Just saying)<br />
<br />
5) The globe icon should show the destination latitude/longitude that you tapped on the map.<br />
<br />
6) Tap on the globe icon.<br />
<br />
7) From the menu that pops up, select either bookmark this location (recommended) or navigate to this location.<br />
