# Adding a Map to Navit
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. Visit [Navit - Planet Extractor](http://maps3.navit-project.org/)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2. Zoom into you desired region.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
3. Under "Map Controls," click _select_.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
3. With your mouse, define the bounding box for your offline map.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
4. Click the _Get map!_ button.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
5. Copy the map to user's home directory under: `~/.navit/map/`.

|
Note: The current Navit configuration specifies the map directory using
|
|
|
|
|
a wildcard (i.e. ~/.navit/map/*.bin). As such, any valid Navit map
|
|
|
|
|
with a `*.bin` extension will automatically be supported.

## Loading Larger Maps (OSM)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you have the storage and want larger maps, it is suggested that you
|
|
|
|
|
use the OpenStreetMap (OSM) extracts from http://download.geofabrik.de/.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Here's the approach used for loading a map for the Southwest region in
|
|
|
|
|
the US.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. Visit [North America](http://download.geofabrik.de/north-america.html).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2. Download the "US West" [.osm.bz2](http://download.geofabrik.de/north-america/us-west-latest.osm.bz2)
|
|
|
|
|
file.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
3. Upload `us-west-latest.osm.bz2` to your `~/.navit/maps` directory.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
4. Convert the map to a format that Navit can understand. This will take several hours.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
$ cd ~/.navit/maps
|
|
|
|
|
$ time bzcat us-west-latest.osm.bz2 | maptool -6 us-west-latest-osm.bin
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
