Navit currently does not support QtMoko's GPS framework. You will have to edit 
navit configuration file and give it /dev/ttyO1 as serial NMEA port and you will 
also need to do "rfkill unblock gps" to power on GPS antenna. Or on Freerunner 
the port will be something like /dev/ttySAC1.

It's one of things i have in plan to add QtMoko's GPS framework support to 
navit. No idea when i have time to do it, but it's quite big priority for me.

Yup, the app needs someone to adapt it make it working.
