2.1.6.1. Download the binary distribution package of Navit

The Win32 binary distribution of Navit can be downloaded via the Download Navit page, or download the Win32 bleeding edge compiled daily from SVN.

If the created start menu entry does not work, check if a ‘bin’ is too many in the link target location.

2.1.6.2. Tips and Tricks

Warning

The [[Win32 GUI]] build is broken, so use [[Gui internal]] instead!

Compiling, configuring and running Navit on Windows can be a challenge at times. Below are a few hints, in addition to the more detailed instructions following.

• Support for NMEA serial GPS receiver devices (USB/Bluetooth) was broken in the win32 port since Navit releases 0.1.0. It is restored with the latest builds (3650 and higer). The configuration for serial devices has changed: For example, a serial device on Com4 can be configured as follows:

<vehicle name="GPSOnCom4" enabled="yes" active="1" source="serial:COM4 baud=115200 parity=N data=8 stop=1" />
