Thank you Kazer for your suggestion and confirmation, but i am not confidence enough with my little knowledge and experience in those,especially using Linux.
Do i have to convert or compile maps data?
I hope you understand my English.

Yeaaaa. Can't say I figured that out yet either. It has "potential" because of the open routing engine but someone needs to unlock that potential. We would have to ask the developer if he plans to keep updating navit to be more user friendly.

I am agree with you, i see that opportunity from begiinning since those map data i'll be using is not locked and also free of charge....good vitamin...ha..ha...
Hpefully is a good food combine Navit,custom maps and iPhone..
In the meantime waiting for an iPhone,i am going to try to do a little experementation through cygwin and see what's happenning with those custom maps.

I have downloaded and installed navit, made the costume map and placed into the correct folder inside /var/mobile/media/maps/planet.bin

But as I start the app I get a big yellow screen, there are the "+" and "-" and sound buttons.But it it not displaying anything else.I can access the settings panel but that's all.

What could be the problem....(by the way, when downloading a map, I get a 27 MB bin file no matter how big selection I make)...

THX!!

Make sure you Dowloaded the correct map section and make sure navit has located that area

reports show re doing the process can fix the nav engine problem

I had a chance to play with it in the car today and could not for the life of me figure out how to actually use it to navigate to a location! I'd looked for documentation online, tried all of the buttons and settings, but to no avail.

I've managed to use it for simply tracking my position, but it isn't really working for anything beyond that.

Heheh that's what I was referring to when I originally mentioned that it is not user friendly. I played with it for a bit, and never did figure out how to route to somewhere. I am glad to read that it was not just me
