Most popular OpenSource Car navigation tool; maps (offline-"custom"), vector-rendered | |
Navit is open-source car navigation software capable of using OSM data. This project supports not just linux desktop but also a number of mobile devices including the Nokia N810 internet tablet. This project uses a binfile format extracted from OSM map data, which it then renders in realtime. As well as being capable of search, routing and dynamic re-routing, it can also show maps in a 3d birdseye view. See the project pages for further details.

Screenshots
features
- display map (Layout)
- map is rendered to vector format on the fly using raw data
- the user can define his own display styles using the navit.xml file. Every style can be build from scratch. As example, a user copied the mapnik style
- The Navi can contain more than one style the user can change them. For example when you drive a Bike you arn't interested in parkingplaces and fuelstations
- routing (Vehicleprofile)
- the user can create custom route profiles by giving a weight to each type of highway in OSM. This is sometimes tricky since other names are used in navit. e.g. a highway=track+surface=gravel is the type track_gravelled. Navit standard contains car, bicycle, foot and horse routing.
- supports offline routing
- the user can create custom route profiles by giving a weight to each type of highway in OSM. This is sometimes tricky since other names are used in navit. e.g. a highway=track+surface=gravel is the type track_gravelled. Navit standard contains car, bicycle, foot and horse routing.
- On Screen Display (OSD)
- navit has a highly configurable OSD. The standard OSD configuration differs in each version of navit (as can be seen on the screenshots above). The
OSD settings include:
- compass
- show current and next streetname
- show next turn and distance to it
- show current speed, and gps altitude
- show distance and time to arrival
- zoom and volume buttons
- All these options can be put in different areas of the screen with the map as background. The Navit wiki gives a very exhaustive list of things you can use in the OSD and in the menus.
- search
- search for country -> city -> street (streetnumber search not working yet and is_in tags need to be provided)
- get nearest POIs from a given point, the POIs can be viewed in categories.
- set favourites to avoid search
- GPX trace:
- Navit can be configured to automatically store GPX traces of all your trips
