I'll just add:

On PC, the map tiles are stored in your home folder inside the .modrana/maps directory. (If your Ubuntu username is for example also justmemory, the absolute path would be:
/home/justmemory/.modrana/maps
As the .modrana directory has . in front of its name, it is by default "hidden" and you might need to enable "show hidden files & folders" in your file browser to see it.

I have an issue with dragging though. The default mode, full redraw is alright (beside being slow, but that's quite obvious). The "draw visible map" is a lot faster, and awesome for dragging, but it fails to detect when you're pressing a button (menu, zooming etc) instead of dragging a map. So when you try to get to the menu, it keeps moving the map by one pixel, which is quite frustrating.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Get modRana 0.36.6
2. Go to menu, options, map, dragging, select "drag visible map - fastest"
3. Get back to the map view
4. Attempt to press the [menu] button, especially with a finger.
5. Watch how the map moves by few pixels on every press, w/o pressing the button.

Any chance for fixing that in some future release? Faster scrolling is awesome

Thanks again for working on modRana.

The specs are public and are available here
https://developers.google.com/transit/gtfs/
The support would ideally include: (in order of how important this is to me)
1.Ability to feed in a GTFS data set from a URL or from a local disk file
2.Display of stops (whatever stops the GTFS data set contains) on the map
3.Ability to feed in a landmark or location or similar and have modrana figure out how to get from where I currently am (i.e. my current GPS coordinates) to the location specified using the next available public transport service (with the ability to identify that the only way to get there is to catch multiple vehicles and to provide details accordingly). It must also be able to handle walking (walking from where you are now to the nearest transit stop, walking from the final transit stop to the destination and walking between stops if necessary for changing vehicles) with the ability to set a limit on the maximum distance you are willing to walk (i.e. if you set this to a lower value it might then calculate a journey that will take longer in total but require less walking)
Also, the route calculation should have the ability to use stop numbers (if the GTFS data provides them) as landmarks for the routing calculation.
4.The ability to select a stop displayed on the map and see the next services scheduled to pass by that stop with their times
and 5.The ability to overlay a route on the map so you can see that exact route and where it goes (useful so you can see if a particular bus goes where you need to go and also so you if you are on a bus you can see where the bus you are on goes and identify when you need to get off)

And how effective is downloading OSM maps with sqlite enabled? I mean, how many zoom levels one gets for say the Czech Republic?
