Likely cause.

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

Woo hoo, this morning app manager notified my phone that an update for Modrana was available & was successful in downloading it.

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

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

Nice, especially the traffic overlay can be useful :)

still playing around with the maps, the submarine cable map seems to be off: puts me somewhere of the coast of southern Norway, normal maps are fine

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

Thank you, thank you, thank you for adding the Google Traffic layer! I've been waiting for this development with anticipation for a long time now. A question: is the traffic layer self-updating? If so, can a specific time interval be set to refresh the layer?

Thanks again Martin for continuing to support and improve this application, it is much appreciated.

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

Quick reply...
Github gives me 404 error for this webpage, so a modified file is attached here. Though, I don't know how to connect this map-overlay to user options (rWin), so the background layer is hard-coded as "vaer", and opacity is hard-coded as 50-50.
Best wishes.

Confirming - if it's fixable, it would be nice, but I'm not sure if submarine cable map is cartographically accurate. Maybe it should be considered as "consult only" one, like moon surface maps in Marble (which also shows your "current" position ;)

Good question - it seems that per-layer update interval could be useful. Meanwhile, maybe per-mode settings could be abused to achieve the same?

//Edit

It seems, that traffic overlay is strange. Even with "labelled" option, it shows label only for places, where traffic colors are present. Sometimes, it even cut parts of street name (because color ends there).

Feature request - could we have user-configurable, arbitrary number of layers? This way, in many cases, we would be able to create task-specified, fancy settings. For example, using above case - one could get google satellite as main, street names layers above, and traffic overlay on top.

But, it would be useful in many other cases, too (satellite + streets + signal, or satellite + street + temperature).
