how to enter path to maps in navit.xml

0

How can I enter the path "E:\maps\osm-bbox-XXXXX.bin" into navit.xml? The system is a tablet with windows 10 and E: is a sdcard. I entered it and I only get an empty space instead of the maps.

Hi, this is the osm help forum.
I expect you need to ask on one of the Navit help sites

Unfortunately it is not possible to create an account on the navit forum.

@nevw: as Navit is an OSM-based router maintained by community members it is appropriate to ask here. @walumg: I havent used Navit in a while, and only have Android devices, so can't test this to provide suggestions.

I have given up on navit. I found out that it does read the path to my maps but it does not show the map. I have downloaded nearly 7 GB of a map in the format OSM_BBOX_*.bin as required by navit. Is there any other program which at least allows me to view this map format offline on windows 10? A GPS navigator would be even better.

I installed navigator 21 which uses OSM maps. But it downloads them in the .mca format. How can I convert the .bin files to '.mca files?
