I took an OSM extract from Geofabrik and used the maptool - pretty
straight forward and easy, juts ate some CPU cycles and hdd space. Maybe
I'll give the pre-converted maps another try later.

Cool, many thanks!
I am using the dpkg /etc/navit/navit.xml now and put the archive you
posted into the ~user/.navit/ along with a maps.xml.
The areas and sizes work now but strangely the pixmaps for the buttons
do not show up (just empty). I double checked the pixmaps paths and they
should be correct. Also the button functions do not work (no zoom). Any
area I touch brings me to the menu (the default behaviour for undefined
screen space I guess).

BTW: Is there an easy way to increase the rendering size?
On the N900 the resolution is pretty high (IIRC 225 DPI) which makes the
 rendered display almost unrecognisable from some distance (like in a
car). One of the tiled-map display programs (I don't remember - was it
Mappero?) has an option to "double pixels" which effectively means to
half the resolution and thus increase the size of the display items.
This makes the display pretty readable.
I would like to put the device up to the windscreen of my car which mean
I will effectively about 1m distance to it. Currently I can only guess
what is displayed ;)

Ah ;)
Well, it is this "Nokia maps" app which can, similar to Google maps on
Android, have and have not turn-by-turn navigation enabled or not. A
matter of map data licensing I guess.

This is one of the other things I do not like about it - it is perfectly
unclear to the user if it is online or offline ;) Obviously the app
caches map data on data level (i.e. not just prerendered tiles like
Google Maps). So it should be possible to do offline routing with it.
On the other hand it almost always requests a data connection - which
can be refused and it will only display the cached data.
