Hi,

first of all, I think, you still using the sample map.

The initial position is given by the following line:

<navit center="4832 N 928 E" zoom="256" tracking="0" cursor="0"  
orientation="0">

The coordinates may change (these are mine).

Check the vehicle entries. If at least active is 0 then the GPS  
configured will not be used.

<vehicle name="Meins" enabled="yes" active="1" follow="1" refresh="1"  
source="gpsd://localhost" color="#0000ff"/>

I have downloaded the germany mapset from navit's downloadpage  
(quicklinks), thus this is my configuration for the map:

<!-- If you dont want to use the sample map, set enabled="no" in the  
next line -->
         <mapset enabled="yes">
                 <map type="binfile" enabled="yes" data="/media/card/ 
map/germany.bin"/>
         </mapset>

Note:

	If you have entered a target and the vehicle is active, navit will  
consume much CPU power at startup due to route calculation.
