I'm at the same error right now. I tried different settings but nothing
helped. Now i wanted to compile navit on the freerunner myself but
within the shr feeds are not all required packages to do so. And i don't
know how to cross-compile it on my pc. :/
Gps works right with tangogps, omgps and advanced-geocaching-tool so it
have to be something with navit. I have the latest 2797 version from [1]
installed and not the one in the shr feeds. I also linked libgps.so.17
to libgps.so.16. When i look in my current position navit shows
something with 832° in front which is a bit off my current position. ;)
Ciao,
