Re: [Announce] modRana: a flexible GPS navigation system
 

Google probably blocked you. They've been known to do that when you download too many google satellite images. Good way to check is if your PC was on the same internet connection you used to download the maps then it shouldn't be able to access it either.

If so nothing you can do besides way a couple of days.

Re: [Announce] modRana: a flexible GPS navigation system
 

Trying get Visual earth map atm for only 20km around hehe

Question : if we download tiles for 5km around and later tiles for 10km around, do it s gonna download all again or only the missing one ?

Re: [Announce] modRana: a flexible GPS navigation system
 

Quick question...
When will there be a next release?
Just to fix some bugs?
You have more than a dozen of active tickets, you cannot fix them in an hour, but at least you could show which of them are already fixed.
Thanks!

Re: [Announce] modRana: a flexible GPS navigation system
 

Before downloading a tile, modRana checks if it isn't already in the tile folder. Therefore, only new tiles are added.
For performance reasons, this is done during the download and not beforehand.

This can be a bit confusing, because the initial number of tiles for download is always the same, even if all tiles are actually available.

I'm going to implement one more feature (draw a trace when logging) and then I'll be finally ready to release. :) ETA: about tomorrow

Whats already implemented/fixed:

• track coloring (automatic or manual)
• tracklog drawing should be more robust
• tracklog saving should be more robust + onscreen notification when something goes wrong
• new logs show up in the tracklog menu immediately
• valid + OSM compatible (timestamps) GPX output, also with altitude
• tracklog categories are now based on folders
• default tile folder + prefixes changed to make modRana compatible with Mappero and Maep
  • the new folder is: /home/user/MyDocs/.maps
• generic icons are now drawn with cairo (big infoboxes should look noticeably better)
• an option for printing screen redraw time to stdout was added (for debugging purposes, default is OFF)

Concerning the tickets, I'll add something like "added/fixed i $new_version" after the release.

Re: [Announce] modRana: a flexible GPS navigation system
 

MartinK, thanks for all the work you do!
I was just wondering if it would be too much to expect a "Send position" option through an SMS or sormething like that?
And, for that matter, some sort of integration with social networks at all?

Re: [Announce] modRana: a flexible GPS navigation system
 

I think both should be doable (I've already added tickets for it). :) But in the short term, I would like to concentrate on the main/most requested features, like:

• turn-by-turn navigation + espeak
• proper POI management
• better address input for address routing
• asynchronous online service usage

When this done + debugged, I can start doing the other features/tickets.

Re: [Announce] modRana: a flexible GPS navigation system
 

So there it is, Modrana 0.13 has been finally released ! :D

Whats new?

• draw logging trace
• distinct track coloring
  + manual color selection for tracklogs and log trace
• folder based tracklog categories
• more robust tracklog loading, drawing and saving
  + new logs show up immediately
• valid and OSM compatible GPX output
  (each point has a timestamp and elevation info)
• better looking generic icons
• default tile folder is now /home/user/MyDocs/.maps
  (this makes modRana share maps with Mappero and Maep)

Impatient to see it! But where is it?

http://maemo.org/packages/view/modrana/
http://repository.maemo.org/extras-d...ree/m/modrana/
12-9

http://maemo.org/packages/source/vie...odrana/0.13-1/

https://garage.maemo.org/builder/fre...odrana_0.13-1/
only i386

I guess I have to wait. I know that your package, as based on python, is exactly the same for both i386 and armel, but if this builder will give only the deb for i386.......I will have to gainroot to argue with the architecture checker.

Re: [Announce] modRana: a flexible GPS navigation system
 

The build finished successfully and it should have been imported hours ago. Seems like if the import queue is stuck or something. :confused:

Re: [Announce] modRana: a flexible GPS navigation system
 

First. The queue is really stuck, otherwise there would be a file for i386.
Second. For some reason, the builder doesn't even try to build deb for armel architecture.

Well... I'm going to wait as long as needed.

It's not your fault, MartinK;) the auto-builder seems to be the culprit.
