61 years after "Manchester Baby", the first computer program stored in memory, here comes a new release of Navit.
Well, of course, this release isn't as big as Manchester Baby, but, it's important for us anyway :)

Major improvements over the last release :
- Configurable Vehicle Profiles, with samples for car, bike, horse, pedestrian
- Much more flexible OSDs : Navit can be easily configured to look just the way you want
- Support for gps receivers without static navigation enabled
- Routing in now computed in background... read more

After 9 months of work, navit-0.1.0 "Thanksgiving Turkey" is finally out!
This release is a major step forward, and includes amongst other things:
- search in OSM has been greatly improved
- A new gui, more user friendly, called "internal" which is designed to be easy to use on touchscreens and small displays
- winCE support
- an icon, finally!
- 27 translations
.. and of course a lot of other bugfixes and improvements.... read more

Major improvements over 0.0.2:

* OpenStreetMap support has been greatly enhanced (navit now uses a binfile driver)
* garmin support has been greatly enhanced (but routing is still being worked on)
* some improvements for using navit under OpenMoko (thanks to the OM contributors!)
* map interaction in GTK : you can now 'slide' the map by pressing mouse and dragging map

And of course, a lot of bugfixes and other small improvements.

A new version of the open source navigation system has been released containing many bugfixes and new features, including openstreetmap support
