soooo ...

(In reply to comment #29)

ok, this led me to downloading
http://maps.navit-project.org/api/map/?bbox=-12.963867187500007,33.59619140625,34.1455078125,72.09228515625

> You should either add the appropriate configuration elements to

so I did - I modified the template so it reads:

        <!-- Mapset template for openstreetmaps -->
        <mapset enabled="yes">
                <map type="binfile" enabled="yes"
data="/var/local/osm_bbox_-13.0,33.6,34.1,72.1.bin"/>
        </mapset>

... needless to say that the file exists and is world readable

after starting navit, I still got the sample map, and the "Data" menu entry is
empty

ok, so let's try to disable it:

        <!-- If you dont want to use the sample map, either set enabled="no" in
the next line or remove the xml file from the maps directory -->
        <mapset enabled="no">
            <xi:include href="$NAVIT_SHAREDIR/maps/*.xml"/>
        </mapset>

wov, now I can see the rest of the Europe, if I zoom out the map ... but still,
the "Data" menu entry is empty ... OK, I'll go RTFM further ;-)

not a good default, IMO ...
