Do you had a prior calculated route ?

I had this behaviour when I have entered a route, let them calculate  
the route, that takes a while. If I then restart navit, it stays  
without a fix by showing these 0.0000 0.0000.
This behavior was also when tangoGPS showed up the position.

If that's the problem, set the GPS source active="0", restart navit  
and change the destination near to the source where you are and then  
restart by active="1".

This helped me to understand, that navit begins to calculate the route  
while not updating the GPS position in the status line. It also  
blocked the GUI.

I think, if so this is a navit problem and not a Om2008.8 problem.

Please correct me if I am wrong :-)
