using svn r2517 $HOME/.navit/navit.xml is used by navit again, there seemed to be a bug in opk package as navit.xml in /usr/share/navit was empty, too. Also speed seems to be the same for menus etc. One more advantage of using [2]: deactivating "map follows vehicle" in menu now actually works and makes map searching usable even if GPS is on :)
