This was for legacy reasons - Rana, the modRana predecessor was developed for the Neo FreeRunner, where everything run under root. So it didn't matter where they were stored. Well, I've just sent V0.27-2 to the autobuilder, that does just this check out the updated data storage article for details about the new paths. In short:map data - nothing changes, still MyDocs/.maps POI- nothing changes, still MyDocs/.maps tracklogs are now stored in MyDocs/tracklogs, old tracklogs should be migrated there automatically configuration files are now in ~/.modrana OK, I'll change it to reload the directory once it is listed from the GUI. I'm looking at this right now.
