yes, it can download maps on-the-fly. It can get them from multiple sources (openstreetmap, google, ...)

If you go to Settings > Map or Map overlay (which uses two map sources to mix them together) you can see which maps modRana can access online and download.

Also, any help with figuring how to get this working (eq. to a state I pass it 2 coordinates + path to the routing data and it returns a route description) is much appreciated!

1) /opt/modrana/os.path seems like Postscript or something? What's this file for?
I have absolutely no idea. I'd say that due to its name it might be related to the recent rewrite of modRana code to properly use os.path.join in place of simple string concatenations, but how imagemagick got involved... Maybe some transient path screwup during the rewrite caused it to be copied from some other directory ?

As far as i remember, Python 2.6 was a bit of a break compatibility-wise, was it? We have no official 2.6 on the N900; so does make it any difference if you develop with 2.6 under NetBeans instead of 2.5?
Looks like there no (official) Python 2.5 anymore Ubuntu Natty which I use for development. I'm aware of the differences (no built in ordered dict, where needs to be imported from __future__, less collections, more flacky sqlite without extension support, etc.) and I also test on my N900 a lot, using a simple rsync + run script.

The rounded icon backgrounds are generated at runtime, cached and drawn from cache.
Module that handles this is called mod_icons.py
excertp from documentation for the getCustomIconMethod:
Code:
there are five positional parameters:
fill color,fill opacity, outline color, outline opacity,
outline width (default 8) and corner radius (default 22)
to use default value, just don't fill in the positional parameter
( len(parameter) == 0 )
USAGE:
corner radius: default=22, 0 does right angle corners

EXAMPLE: generic:green;1.0;blue;0.5;10;15
The positional parameters create a unique hash that is used as a key in the icon cache.

ModRana also supports creating icons from multiple layers (both parametric and image based), using the > operator:
Code:
icon specifications are separated by >,
which should be seen as a pointing arrow in this context
we composite top -> down,
for example: "icon1>icon2"
icon1 will be drawn over icon2
For examples how this is used "in action" look in mod_turnByTurn.py into the drawScreenOverlay method.

BTW, it might be good to make also the default icon shape themable.

hey guys i'm having some problems viewing the map, in fact, all i see is a blank screen.
i start the program up and it shows several tiles marked loading and the gps icon flashing, and it stays this way for quite some time, however when i check Mydocs/.maps i can see some maps of my country there.
what am i missing??

I donated to modRana a few weeks back and I was quite shocked to recieve a pretty awesome postcard in the post yesterday from Martin thanking me, that's cool dude!

I've never had that sort of personal response from donating to a project before.

Thanks a lot Martin!

Is this app downloading maps, or I need to manually put them in .maps folder? Is there any way to forbid downloading maps (cuz 3G is expensive in my country) and to manually add maps?

You can do either/both. There are settings for it. I only have 2.5G here, IF I'm in a signal area. I usually download tiles via wifi for area's I'm normally at, and then just use the cached tiles when out on the road.

Hmm, is there some dependency on fonts or something, i.e. that I don't have some system font installed which modRana uses to display CJK?

I still have the old behavior, i.e. see the Kanji when selecting the POI, but then when it's displayed on the map, the POI name is just boxes...
