Some questions about Navit

[Yorick Moko]

In The Name of Myself

Hi Dehqan


1 - Tangogps has an option that let us to use google sat maps , Can google
sat maps be used with Navit ?
no they can't, because tangogps uses images and navit uses vector data
this is also why the maps for navit are a lot smaller, but scrolling and
zooming takes more time
it might be possible to patch it to let it display google sat images and
display them; and calculate a route based on the (invisible) vectordata, but
that would require MAJOR work I think

2- To set up route , in
this<http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Navit#Enter_Town> step
after selecting country (Iran) , town should be selected , but there is not
town name in list , humble wrote town name manualy now, how to save it ? of
course humble started from
this<http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Navit#Select_Country> step
to setup route . are previous steps required?
The problem would be that the name town you wanted to select isn't in the
map data you downloaded
that could be due to (I think):
town not entered in openstreetmaps
town entered, but no "is_in: Iran" tag specified of something like that

you can correct this by contributing to OSM and editing the town's label


3 - To use speech <http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Navit#Speech> option on
Navit ,this speech-dispatcher <http://www.freebsoft.org/speechd> is required
but it's link <http://www.freebsoft.org/speechd> is down
I have never used speech, but I can navigate to
http://www.freebsoft.org/speechd
you can check the status of that site here:

Hope this helps!
