[Navit-users] Navit on Neo Freerunner (OpenMoko)

[<nav...@li...>]

Hi,

Since many times now, my Neo freerunner is no more my daily phone. So,
I wish to do a total conversion and use it as a simple in-car GPS. To
do so, I installed Debian and the navit package + neo-cs skin.

But when I run it, navit is quite unresponsive. I think it take many
seconds to do a single map rendering. And when I ensure a new fresh
rendering is done (requesting the "menu" and returning to map), I can
observe that the new rendering use a really old GPS data: for example,
navit is still trying to render the map around my house, while I'm
traveling for more than 10 minutes far from this point.

Is there a way to request navit to render the most fresh GPS frame and
drop any older data?
This will provide a discontinuated display, but seems more usable than
information like "you were there 30 minutes ago".


Other topic: I'm living in france. Not sure what occurs in other
countries, but the OSM data on this region is well detailed, mostly
because we were able to import many buildings (called "cadastre"). I
suspect this amount of data is senseless for this device. So, I
disabled rendering of building by commenting the associated
directives. But I'm unable to estimate if this choice give some
breathe to Freerunner.
Do you know a map provider providing data restricted to routing
informations (only highway and cities for example)?
Is there any way to filter official map data (perhaps with maptool)?


Thanks in advance for any help you could give.
