NavIT
=====
Navit is a open source (GPL) car navigation software for Linux systems
based on the GTK+ toolkit. Navit will display your position on a
2D map, or as a 3D visualisation (planned) from GPS sensor data. Navit
is also capable of providing precise route calculation, touch screen
functionality and supports Points of Interest (POI).
Unlike other navigation systems, Navit maps are dynamically generated
in real time from vector data.
Maps:
=====
The best navigation system is useless without maps. Those three maps
are known to work:
http://www.amazon.de/exec/obidos/ASIN/3829731280
(Grosser Reiseplaner, detailed map of europe)
http://www.amazon.de/exec/obidos/ASIN/3934073697
(Telefonbuch Deutschland Map+Route,
detailed map of germany, coarse map of europe)
http://www.amazon.de/exec/obidos/ASIN/3934073719
(Gelbe Seiten Map+Route, detailed map of germany,
coarse map of europe)
Installing the Maps:
- Gelbe Seiten and Telefonbuch Deutschland
unzip karten.zip from the map cd where the map should go (about 1.2 GB)
export MAP_DATA=<path to where the map has been unzipped>/d7.map
- Grosser Reiseplaner
Compile unshield from http://synce.sourceforge.net/synce/unshield.php
run "unshield x <path to your dvd>/travel/data2.cab" where the map
should go (about 4.3 GB)
export MAP_DATA=<path to where the map has been unshielded>/DIRMAP_MAP/DIE.map
GPS Support:
============
Navit read the current vehicle possition either directly from a file with
export GPSDATA=file:filename
or from gpsd with
export GPSDATA=gpsd://host[:port]
Subdirectories:
===============
fib-1.0
The library for Fibonacci heaps from
http://resnet.uoregon.edu/~gurney_j/jmpc/fib.html
The Fibonacci heaps are used in the routing algorithm.
graphics
The map layout functions.
As of now only the gtk_drawing_area is working.
We'll eventually move to cairo.
gui
The user interface. So far there are a lot of files still in
the main directory.
plugins
Plugable modules. So far there is only one but we hope to
have more in the future.
- poi_geodownloads
Display POIs from www.geodownload.com
(depends on mdbtools.sf.net)
Files in src:
=============
block.c:
Manages the blocks of the map. Each block of the map is
seperated into two sub blocks of half the size.
command.c
Command line interface.
compass.c
Displays the compass on the map.
coord.c
Reads coordinates from the map.
country.c
Lists all available countries and provides funtions to access
the corresponding data.
cursor.c
Draws the vehicle possiton on the map.
data_window.c
Displays informations about visible objects.
destination.c
The destination selection dialog.
display.c
Manages the display-list. The graphics driver is called from
here to display the map.
file.c
Management of map data files.
graphics.c
Generates the display-list.
log.c
Logs local changes to the map datas. its possible to modify
the map without changing the original map data. The modified
data are stored in log.txt and reread at program start.
main.c
Guess what?
map_data.c
Manages the differnt map sources. There's an overview map of
europe and a detailed map of each country.
menu.c
Callback functions for the gui menu.
navigation.c
Generates directions to a destination ( not jet completed )
param.c
Utility functions for data_window and and popup menu
phrase.c
Assembles directions for the speech guide.
plugin.c
Loads available pugins.
poly.c
Generate display-list for polygons. ( cities, lakes, ... )
popup.c
Popup-menu dialog
profile.c
A simple timer for performance analysis.
route.c
The routing algorithm. ( see below for a more detailed
description )
search.c
Functions to search a place ( city, street, ... ) by name
speech.c
Interface to speechd
street.c
Generates a display-list for streets
street_name.c
Reads street names from map datas.
town.c
Generates a display-list for city names.
transform.c
Coordinate transformation. The map uses a Mercator projection.
tree.c
Manages search trees.
util.c
Some utility functions for strings
vehicle.c
Calculates the current vehicle possistion and direction.
Issues a cursor update if needed.
Routing algorithm
=================
NavIt uses a dykstra algorithm for routing. The routing starts at the
destination by assigning a value to each point directly connected to
destination point. The value represents the estimated time needed to
pass this distance.
Now the point with the lowest value is choosen using the Fibonacci
heap and a value is assigned to connected points whos are
unevaluated or whos current value ist greater than the new one.
The search is repeated until the origin is found.
Once the origin is reached, all that needs to be done is to follow the
points with the lowest values to the destination.
Plans:
======
- use ciaro to draw the map
- get GPS data from gpsd
- complete speech output (speech.c, phrase.c)
- complete directions (navigation.c)
- investigate problem with fib-1.1
