Re: [Announce] modRana: a flexible GPS navigation system
 

Does it require internet to use?

Re: [Announce] modRana: a flexible GPS navigation system
 

No. But if you want to see the map, you need to get map tiles. You can:
a) download them through ModRana on the go, if you have Internet on the go;
b) download them through a PC, if you have a PC connected to Internet;
c) draw them yourself (but I suppose that if you can post here you do have some kind of Internet and can use one of the first two options:)

And what you use for the b) ?

Seems google blocked me, cant dl tiles anymore from them and apparently it s the only one with who i can get map and all details at max around where i live :rolleyes:

Re: [Announce] modRana: a flexible GPS navigation system
 

It works fine even without, but Internet is needed for the following features to work:

• tile download (tiles are stored) + batch tile download
• routing
• POI search
• tracklog elevation import

There are:
JTileDownloader, GMapCatcher and OSMtiledownloader.

Or you can just connect your N900 to WiFi somewhere and use the batch download feature in modRana. :)

BTW, I really hope the new package will be finally imported to the repositories. Its been sitting in the queue ages already...
I even started a thread about it. :D

Re: [Announce] modRana: a flexible GPS navigation system
 

Since its still in Devel I'm guessing its not ready for download?

Re: [Announce] modRana: a flexible GPS navigation system
 

It's ready for download, in my humble opinion. It's better than Ovi maps.

Re: [Announce] modRana: a flexible GPS navigation system
 

It seems that the package import problems have been resolved, therefore:
modRana V0.13-1 is now finally in the repositories ! :)

So, check it out! :D

Changelog is in my previous post about the release.

V0.13-1
every time I want to go back to tracklog menu I get a black screen

Re: [Announce] modRana: a flexible GPS navigation system
 

Testing 0.13-1.
No problems yet.
Colouring logs is beautiful.
I have already sorted logs by day/month.
What about setting colour of all logs in a folder at once?
Is colour of logs remembered after restarting application? I hope, that yes.

About black screen: I haven't seen it; it might be caused by permissions problem; could you post a screenshot? I have given write/read/modify permissions of the directory /opt/modrana to non-root user long ago (chmod 0777 /opt/modrana).

By the way, I moved tiles manually to the needed folder. I guess modRana doesn't do it automatically because it might cause conflict with other application, like Mappero, in case it already uses this folder.

Re: [Announce] modRana: a flexible GPS navigation system
 

thanks for the app. I had never used a gps before in my life (pretty sad, I'm 44) and modrana got my wife and I out of a lost situation over the weekend.

any time frame for talking directions?

I see it defaulted to something called mapnik and OSM in my .modrana_tiles folder and they take up 50 and 42 mb respectivly. should I be downloading other stuff or is this good, what I have.

thanks. wow gps. tomorrow I may try to use the microwave :)
