No, i was only saying, that (fso-)gpsd is working right because tangogps
also uses gpsd and it works.

I used the navit.xml from r2797 so this was not the problem. Right after
start in the console navit shows this gps.h incompatibility error mesage
befor it starts. So i think that the navit package from the navit
homepage are compiled with another version of some lib which is not
compatible with shr-u.
