JMO707, if you choose one like Google earth or satellite it will work, Open Street Maps and some of the other free options give me problems. There are tricks in the thread but I currently use Sygic for mapping and ModRana for Google satellite when choosing campsites.

Hi biketool, thanks for answering.
When you say "choose one like Google earth or satellite" do you mean as Main map on Map layers? I've already tried that.
It's strange, because, as I said, using ssh to start modrana---
[minutes later]
Ok. I've found it to be a permissions problem (doh!)
As root modrana loads the tiles, but no as user. Which permissions do you have set on .maps folder? Mine are this:

In fact yes, but as ext4! I solved my problem by changing the owners of .maps and his contents to user.root
Thanks for your help =)

Using EXT or some other sane (semi)modern filesystem could help with the space wastage that happens due to the thousands of small tile image files, which is especially bad on FAT32 used for MyDocs by default.
This can of course be fixed/worked-around by using sqlite tile storage, but then you can't share tiles with another navigation app (as unfortunately no other Maemo navigation software supports the sqlite tile storage format modRana uses).

I have also developed custom kinetic scrolling code for Mieru, which should be also usable in modRana to enable kinetic scrolling for the (Clutter accelerated) map screen. Another use could be for Hildon independent kinetic-scrollable lists.
is there possiblity of using hw accleration on modrana ?
as using modrana more and more i.e becoming the go to app for navi the interface is feeling more and more cluncky i rather give it a -10 out of 10 considering the fluidity of your other apps . the concept is good but feels like a jet engine fitted to a bullock cart
maybe a release focusing solely on speed and ui is needed.
anybody thinking same ?

All times are GMT. The time now is 17:54.
Well, given that, it's the first time I have this problem: when I start modrana from my device (icons or command line) the tiles never load. They just stay in "Loading". I've changed the obvious options several times and tried on wifi and gprs, but "obvious" is very relative. I wanted to ask you how can I trace this problem.
On the other hand, I don't know if there is any load difference between the three installed executables of modrana (modrana, modrana-gtk and modrana-qml) On my N900 the three look the same and, at least for what I could see on htop, consume the same amount of memory.
