Yes. And obviously I can help as a long term user of navit.
But you can invoke at least 3 route planners (GraphHopper,OSRM or
Valhalla) from the main page at
https://www.openstreetmap.org/.
Just click on the double arrow icon next to the search box. It will take
you to
https://www.openstreetmap.org/directions.
It is interesting to explore the different engines and play with their
settings.
In navit, you can tune "navit.xml" which gives you extremely fine
control over almost all aspects, but there is a fair learning curve.
One of the first things you might want to set there is

Join in the fun! I think that I have more than 3000 edits over the
years, some quite big. But I have enormously benefited from OSM and my
contributions have been tiny in that context.
