Description
Dear All ...
It'll be great if Navit can call external program.
Let's say something like :
<osd enabled="yes" type="button" x="0" y="0" command="gui.excall('/usr/local/bin/myprog')" comment="'param1' 'param2'" src="mybutton.xpm" />
And when pressed/clicked , navit will call it in a fire and forget manner. just like :
bino@bino$ /usr/local/bin/myprog 'param1' 'param2' &
I'm prettysure that with this, user can extend Navit using their own programming language preference (python, perl, ruby, etc etc)
Sincerely -bino-

I have started a complete re-write of the Configuring Navit page on the wiki (http://wiki.navit-project.org/index.php/User:Korrosa/Configuring_Navit). I will add this information into the 'Advanced' section.
(I did start this page a while back and then got sidetracked - I'll try and finish it soon!)

Are you aware of http://wiki.navit-project.org/index.php/The_Navit_Command_Interface, which documents all the commands available from the menu and OSD? I just added it there, maybe someone can have a look at it and correct/extend it if necessary - I am not sure about some things.
