Hi Christian, Thanks a lot for your explanation! I think i had the same problem you had, i can't set a destination with the current version of navit. (Dbus is enabled) So, i will ask the people from the navit team on how to use dbus with the current version.
Thanks again and "happy new year" everybody.
