Well, its in active development so its not entirely stable yet. I will fix every bug and crash I can find.

Well, this usually means that tiles for this area are not available.
Usually because:
  • there are no tiles for this zoomlevel (some areas have more zoomlevels that others)
  • unavailable internet connectivity
  • the tileserver is unavailable
But if the whole GUI goes gray (no buttons, no position indicator, no menus), then there is something in the drawing pipeline, I should fix.

Well, thanks. I have a pretty long feature list to yet to implement, this release is basically an entry to the Maemo coding competition, more releases will follow.

Well, this is strange, the settings should be automatically saved each time you change anything in options. So this can signalize there is a problem in loading or storing the settings.

If you want to help me troubleshoot it, you can run modrana from the terminal (just type modrana in the terminal) and copy the output after a crash/settings not saved/other bug.
You can open a new ticket for it on the project trac:

Or just send it to the project e-mail:
modrana at gmail dot com
