Navit Wiki

Navit is an open source (GPL) car navigation software for Linux, Windows systems and portable devices. 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.

News

December 2010: Navit 0.2.0 "Long Awaited" is here! As its codename states, it's been a while since the last Navit release, but a lot of work has been done (we have X commits since last release!)

Navit 0.0.4 "Valentine's gift" is out! This release contains a lot of bugfixes and other small improvements.

If you want, have a look at the roadmap status for 0.1.0 : http://trac.navit-project.org/milestone/version%200.1.0

Navit 0.0.3 "Christmas gift" is out!

Major improvements over 0.0.2 :

  • OpenStreetMap support has been greatly enhanced (navit now uses a binfile driver)
  • garmin support has been greatly enhanced (but routing is still being worked on)
  • some improvements for using navit under Openmoko (thanks to the OM contributors!)
  • map interaction in GTK : you can now 'slide' the map by pressing mouse and dragging map

And of course, a lot of bugfixes and other small improvements.

See the full list for more details.
