Hi Ed, try this:
dbus-send --print-reply --dest=org.navit_project.navit /org/navit_project/navit/default_navit org.navit_project.navit.navit.set_center string:"12.1906 48.999" I had a look at [1] and after several tries this worked (on my PC). I will update qnavitcl soon - New Year's Eve is too close right now ;-) Not sure if this is the correct way though - no reply on navit user ML yet...
