Much more important for me is the display of tracks generated by the webiste http://www.gpsies.com.
I use these for planing bicycle-tours and follow the tracks to not get lost somewhere, recording it at the same time to improve OSMīs data when necessary.

When I create a track there and display it at modrana, it looks like this:
http://talk.maemo.org/attachment.php...1&d=1347009537
You can see a wrong straight line between some trackpoints. In this track there are only two, but I also had tracks with three or five of them making it hard to figure out what is the right way to go

In comparison to that, Mappero shows the track correctly:
http://talk.maemo.org/attachment.php...1&d=1347009730

I attached the zipped gpx-File, hope you can reproduce this issue.

CU Michael
Thanks a lot! I'm now putting a few finishing touches on a modRana feature related to the coding competition but I'll check out your issue right away once I'm done.

Hi Martink,
Now I am the one of the user that uses your awesome application
Thank you for this great application
I have the same problem as magic_doc "First of all, modrana-qml is no longer workling for me"! Please help me to solve the issue!
And is there any way to add Persian language support?!
In old Symbian devices its one of my favorite feature to use Persian voice for routing

Best wishes

EDIT: The Modrana and the modrana-qml didnt open for me after update to V0.34.5!

I think I already know the root cause (GTK and Qt not mixing very well) and I'm working on a fix.

Looks doable - both Google Directions and the Espeak TTS engine should support Farsi.

Try to update to 0.35.6. If the problem persists, try to run modRana from the terminal:
Code:
modrana
And post the output here.

Just FYI - I haven't been able to run modRana this way, it says it isn't found. I have to do python /opt/modrana/modrana/py instead.

modRana V0.35.6 has been relased

The main feature if this release is initial support for OFFLINE ROUTING!

How does it work ?
  • searches for routes without the need for Internet connection
  • routes much faster than online routing
  • mode based results (Car, Walk, Cycle; Bus & Train get results for Car)
  • uses monav-server as backend

Enable offline routing in 6 easy steps
  1. download routing data
    Compatible routing data packs are available from monav.openstreetmap.de. Just download a relevant pack for your area.
    It can be also done directly on the N900 like in this example:
    Code:
    cd MyDocs
    wget http://monav.openstreetmap.de/mapsets/Czech_Republic.zip
  2. unpack it to the Monav data folder
    This is the main Monav routing data folder:
    Code:
    /home/user/MyDocs/.maps/monav_data
    The .maps folder is normally visible by default when connecting the N900 in USB mass-storage mode to Windows PCs, on Linux PCs you have to enable Show hidden files/folders to see it.
    If there is no monav_data folder in .maps, create it:
    Code:
    cd MyDocs/.maps
    mkdir monav_data
    and unzip you data packs into it.

    Example (continuing where we left):
    Code:
    unzip Czech_Republic.zip -d .maps/monav_data/
    You should get paths similar to these:
    Code:
    /home/user/MyDocs/.maps/monav_data/Czech_Republic
    /home/user/MyDocs/.maps/monav_data/Czech_Republic/routing_bike
    /home/user/MyDocs/.maps/monav_data/Czech_Republic/routing_car
    /home/user/MyDocs/.maps/monav_data/Czech_Republic/routing_pedestrian
    Optional
    As their content is not currently used, you can remove the rendering_osm and rendering_vector folders.
  3. start modRana
  4. select preferred map data pack
    Go to menu->options->Navigation->Routing data and select a Monav data pack to use.
  5. select Monav as routing backend
    In Go to menu->options->Navigation->Routing and select Monav as Routing provider.
  6. route

Known issues
  • directions are very basic
    Monav actually doesn't return a turn type, so I'll have to add an algorithm that detects different turn types and assigns corresponding description (Marble also does it like this).
  • some turns are missed
    Monav actually doesn't return turns at all - just points for the route & name + type for the route edges. So an algorithm that analyses all edge junctions on the route and decides what is turn and what is not (based on sharp turns, edges changing type or name, etc.). Currently every route type change is just used to trigger turn.
  • no address2address offline routing
    The Monav GUI can be used for offline address search - I'll have to investigate if the same functionality can be used over the monav-server API.

Planed features
  • modRana project hosted repository with up-to-date data packs
  • built-in map pack downloader & updater

Question; the routing data sets have to be a specific version? AFAIK the ones available on Monav wiki are at least 1,5yrs old, and not compatible with current Monav revisions; i.e. those that f.e. render street names.

The package installs a startup shell script called modrana to /usr/bin/. As /usr/bin/ is in path, it should work

But the startup script currently doesn't accept command-line options, so if you want to use the modRana CLI options, you need to run /opt/modrana/modrana.py directly.

Thanks ! Fixed in 0.35.7

I'm looking into this.

BTW, during the competition voting period, modRana will be in fix-only mode.

I'm using Monav compiled from the thomasmiedema-python branch, which should be up-to-date and contains some additional patches for the Python/TCP/Protocol buffer interface modRana is using. And it works with the old data just fine.

But I have tested only the routing daemon/server, not the Monav client itself. Also haven't yet tested with data generated by the latest preprocessor.

@Martink
Thank you, I updated to the latest version, now the modrana is working
But modrana-qml is not in a good condition! I opened it, then it was closed very fast!
When do you have a plan to add Farsi support for modrana Martik?!
I also couldn't find Iran map for routing in the link that you mentioned above! Just Asia.zip and it is about 3.6 GB
Is there any link that I can download only Iran map for offline routing?!
