The last thing I would try before blaming Modrana is, delete all the maps (just rename OpenStreetMapI and OpenStreetMapII to something else while Modrana is not running), then start Modrana and let the maps download again. There may be some weird caching problem.

I don't see anything suspicious in your log files, BTW, but I am hardly an expert.

Yes, I connect to internet then start Modrana and wait till I get a GPS lock before doing anything.

I tried Marble and again, it works well. It wrote a new OpenStreetMap I folder and saved new tiles under 16 folder.

It seems something is wrong in Modrana. I thought I would mention this before I reinstall the application as suggested.

Thanks to all for your help so far.

I think it would be more logical for modrana to read those from wherever the user has configured the maps folder to be. Especially since FAT32 doesn't support linking.

Or at worst, add two additional configuration variables: nav_folder and poi_folder.

Sure, it definitely makes sense to add a configuration file option to redirecting the POI database storage path, so noted.

Still, I think I'll try to at least keep it working in its current state on a reasonable effort basis. Also I'm thinking about splitting it to a subpackage as it currently drags in quite a big amount of dependencies even for people using only the GTK GUI.

BTW, from the log files it looks like you are using the sqlite tile storage backend, so maybe also try to switch to the files backend.
