Does anybody know how i can debug Navit. It doesn't matter if i can do it in MS Visual Studio or Eclipse. It doesn't matter if I have to do that under Windows or Ubuntu.

Navit is a C application, and can be debugged using any debugger that can debug C programs.
The details depend on your development environment (IDE/editor, compiler, operating system).
For development on Linux, popular debugger options include:
gdb(text-based)- DDD (graphical)
- Eclipse CDT (graphical)
- Pyclewn (vim plugin)
Some notes:
- Usually you want to build in debug mode (cmake option
-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug). This will build with symbols and disable optimizations, which makes debugging easier. - When running the
navitbinary without installing it, you must run it from the directory it is created in - otherwise it will not find the plugins (which are compiled to separate libraries). Take care to configure the current directory correctly in the debugger.
