Nice to know that modRana is being useful.

This + POI rework are what I currently plan to do next. So it should be available quite soon.

These layers are provided by the OpenStreatMap project and are IMO quite usable.

ModRana currently uses Google Locate as a POI source, and more POI (and routing) providers are planned.
You can test this by typing something like this to the search field in Google Maps:

Code:

pizza near 60.205556, 24.655556

This searches for pizza near Nokia headquarters.

The POI search in modRana works like this, you select the a keyword by pressing one of the buttons + current coordinates are used.

Do you mean displaying a saved tracklog or enabling track logging ?
(I found a bug causing a empty/black screen in the track logging menu, will be fixed in the next build)
