Hi Ed, Happy New Year as well!
I found the path by looking at the newer wiki page example at the bottom [1] and the source [2]. Meanwhile I built a newer version of qnavitctl for SHR-U, you can find a package here [3] and source here [4]. I also enabled flickcharm "kinetic scrolling" [5]. I also noticed, that on my Frerunner navit was started automatically if it was not running yet, when passing a dbus call via qnavitctl... Cheers, Christian [1] http://wiki.navit-project.org/index.php/Dbus [2] http://navit.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/navit/trunk/navit/navit/binding/dbus/binding_dbus.c?view=markup [3] http://openmoko.senfdax.de/shr-new-unstable/ [4]http://git.senfdax.de/?p=qnavitctl;a=summary [5] http://labs.qt.nokia.com/blogs/2009/07/19/kinetic-scrolling-on-any-widgets/ > Hi Christian, > > Thanks a million, it works like a charm! > > How did you come to use "default_navit" ? > I took a look at the source code, but i couldn't find out how to use it. > > Happy new-year, my has started perfectly ;-) > > Kind regards, > Ed > > > > Christian Rüb wrote: > > 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).
