@MartinK, about my issue of seeing local language for the specific region.. as it turns out...I get the same map with local language using the GMapCatcher. So, I guess if one uses google map, there is no issue.

Now, I have another problem, I copied the download maps(tiles) from GMapCatcher to the .maps\Google Maps\zoomlevel_x\leve_y\... directories per hints in http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...&postcount=451. I launched the app afterward but the app for some reason did not 'see' the already downloaded tiles and it wanted to go online to download again. Is there anything else I have to do? Is there a log somewhere that I can look to troubleshoot this?

Thank you for your time

Cheers,

PS: when I use the GMapCatcher, it created tiles zoom level from as low as '-2' and all the want up to '20'. My version of GMapCatcher is 0.7.5.0(on Windows).

If by blanked you mean "screen locked and off", then yes.

I've noticed that modRana's window doesn't go black when Ctrl+Backspace is used -- only when using the minimize button. I believe I've witnessed the freeze/SGX bug when the screen is blanked in both of these scenarios.

Still haven't spent more time with it, but I hope these extra details will help.

Sorry to bug you guys with this, but I've a problem with Modrana. I installed it and had it running without a problem. After changing some settings with layers, it now freezes upon startup. By this I mean that it acquires gps, but shows only a grey background and doesn't respond to tapping the screen or titlebar in any way. Otherwise n900 is responding perfectly.
I thought it might be some setting that is giving me trouble so as a quick fix I tried a reinstall to see whether it would reset settings, but they seem to presisting. A look into Modrana wiki didn't reveal where config files are located.
Attaching a xterm output

Sorry for being such a noob and thank you for any help

Looks like the new center shifting code is causing the issue - you have probably some unique mix of settings causing this.
Could you please post/send the /opt/modrana/data/options.bin file ? This is where modRana stores most of its settings and I can probably use it to easily reproduce (and fix) the issue in my local environment

Also, removing/renaming this file might be used as a workaround before this is fixed, as removing it will reset most settings to default values (uninstalling modRana, without using the --purge parameter, leaves options.bin in place).

BTW, I'll release a new version & reply to question in the next few days.

What will be in the next release ?

• fix for the options menu scrolling issue
• fix for the above mentioned shifting issue
• new optional map dragging method, that is much faster but less visually pleasing than the current one
• jumping to the map screen by long-pressing the "escape" button

And possibly more

Attaching options.bin. Removing it solved the issue. Thank you (I didn't use xterm to uninstall, I will next time)

Martin,
Could you increase the treshold for dragging a bit, I have about 50% chance that tapping a button still causes a drag (and disables auto-center) while driving the car. Standing still it works fine. And no, my car isn't that old that it vibrates a lot

Great list of features and they all sound so good. I will have to try these all.

There are different options under 'mode'. Selecting these results in different data being displayed. (do modes have other effect?) Could it be possible to choose displayed data by checking from a list or similar rather than being fixed to preset defaults?

EDIT: oh, just noticed that configurable UI is already planned

mine now also gives the grey screen

edit: removing options.bin also fixed it here.
I think the last thing I did in the working state was play with some settings.
