But now, I did everything covered in here: https://wiki.maemo.org/ModRana_offline_routing_guide

Modrana still works only online, even with proper settings, when Im offline the app still tries to download maps and of coure failing as there is no data connection. The only available map area is the part downloaded by app when I was online, Sorry for not reading whole 200 pages as I need it working soon and have no time to look for solution through all this pages. here are some screenshots. What am I doing wrong?

The answer is unfortunately quite simple - modRana on the N900 currently only supports offline routing, not yet offline map rendering. So you can currently find a way offline, but not render an areae from the same data.

Some progress in offline map rendering is being made via libsomscout-server on Sailfish OS & Linux desktop, but I'm not sure if there are any plans from running libsomscout-server also on the N900, which precludes this from being useful by modRana users on the N900.

So I'm afraid there is nothing at least in the short-term that modRana can provide with regards to direct offline map rendering.

The closes to it is probably to use the batch tile download functionality modRana has on the N900 to pre-download map tiles for your expected travel area (over say WiFi), so that you have something to see on the map once you enter the no-Internet are. And you can use the offline routing to complement this for route finding.
