I have downloaded the germany map from the quicklinks section on the 
following page: http://wiki.navit-project.org/index.php/OpenStreetMaps

Or exactly this command on openmoko shell: wget -O germany.bin
http://maps.navit-project.org/api/map/?bbox=5.185546875,46.845703125,15.46875,55.634765625

This file could be directly used as a binary map file.

After that I have selected a target more far away from my satellite
position and let it calculate the route. This may take some time where
you don't have a reaction on the Navit GUI (by clicking somewhere).

If the route is calculated, restart navit and let it go to the lock
screen. Wait a while and try to unlock :-)

Before that all, open a ssh session and start top to look at the CPU
usage. Also there you can kill navit.

Symptoms conditions: I am in my living room with less sattelites or none
(as of writing this line: Satellite 10/5 HDOP: 2.5 Speed ~ 2.7 km/h)

I think and that I have posted in one of my prior postings, the tracking
is activated and thus the path would be recalculated always as the
position changes a bit.

What I will do or try to do, is comparing that with a desktop run
connecting to the OpenMoko (GPS).
