Does it require internet to use?

No. But if you want to see the map, you need to get map tiles. You can:
a) download them through ModRana on the go, if you have Internet on the go;
b) download them through a PC, if you have a PC connected to Internet;
c) draw them yourself (but I suppose that if you can post here you do have some kind of Internet and can use one of the first two options

It works fine even without, but Internet is needed for the following features to work:
  • tile download (tiles are stored) + batch tile download
  • routing
  • POI search
  • tracklog elevation import

There are:
JTileDownloader, GMapCatcher and OSMtiledownloader.

Or you can just connect your N900 to WiFi somewhere and use the batch download feature in modRana.

BTW, I really hope the new package will be finally imported to the repositories. Its been sitting in the queue ages already...
I even started a thread about it.

It's ready for download, in my humble opinion. It's better than Ovi maps.

It seems that the package import problems have been resolved, therefore:
modRana V0.13-1 is now finally in the repositories !

So, check it out!

Changelog is in my previous post about the release.

Testing 0.13-1.
No problems yet.
Colouring logs is beautiful.
I have already sorted logs by day/month.
What about setting colour of all logs in a folder at once?
Is colour of logs remembered after restarting application? I hope, that yes.

About black screen: I haven't seen it; it might be caused by permissions problem; could you post a screenshot? I have given write/read/modify permissions of the directory /opt/modrana to non-root user long ago (chmod 0777 /opt/modrana).

By the way, I moved tiles manually to the needed folder. I guess modRana doesn't do it automatically because it might cause conflict with other application, like Mappero, in case it already uses this folder.

thanks for the app. I had never used a gps before in my life (pretty sad, I'm 44) and modrana got my wife and I out of a lost situation over the weekend.

any time frame for talking directions?

I see it defaulted to something called mapnik and OSM in my .modrana_tiles folder and they take up 50 and 42 mb respectivly. should I be downloading other stuff or is this good, what I have.

thanks. wow gps. tomorrow I may try to use the microwave
