Yes, except mine are blue (waiting for download slot)

I think this is actually the same issue - they look yellow only because Estel is using map overlay, so the blue waiting tile gets mixed with the tile from the other layer, changing the tint of the color. :)

Anyway I think I found the underlying issue and plan to release an update with the fix in the next few days. :)

but that seems to be before the sqlite tiles init.

This has been there for ages and should be harmless. I need to finally track it down one day so it does not pollute the logs.

I ported the library for vector maps. All you can do is to pester MartinK to utilize it :)

Once you've set up the base maybe I'll find some spare time for a commit or two. I don't promise anything, but you might let me know someday ;)

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

modRana 0.47.1 has been released ! :)

Both Maemo & Sailfish OS packages are available from the usual places, so update while they are hot! :)

The main topic of this update are tile handling fixes and improvements, see the changelog for more details.

Changelog:

Code:

* Sun Jun 08 2014 Martin Kolman - 0.47.1

- the QtQuick GUI now downloads new tiles asynchronously

 - much faster asynchronous tile loading !

 - no more synchronous tile download stalls !

 - no more GUI freezes when starting modRana without connectivity !

 - tiles currently on the screen have a diwnload priority (LiFo download queue)

 - if the queue is full, old download requests that are probably no longer visible are dropped

 - proper tile download error hanling & retry support

 - proper tile download feedback

 - tile handling debug support

- fix tiles stuck on "Downloading"/"Loading" in GTK GUI

- fix weird tile loading artifacts in overlay mode in the GTK GUI

- remove all Cloudmade layers as they were discontinue in the first half of May

- change Sailfish OS profile folder name to harbour-modrana and migrate all data to the new folders

 - this is fully automatic and no user interaction is needed

 - this makes modRana Harbour compliant in regards to profile paths

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

Any routing on Harmattan yet? :p

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

The stuck downloading tiles seem to be gone indeed, alas replaced by failed downloads. This was observed while sitting down, n900 with good internet connection, dragging the map around a bit.

Not sure what's going on here... and it would be great to have a way to make it try the downloads again.

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

Modrana has caused N900 shutdowns for me, and this recent version caused the phone to stop responding (screen blank, device not responding to any input). I'll take the battery out now, I guess. I can hear a ringing tone on the line when I call it, though...(but the device doesn't ring itself)

UPDATE: had to remove the back cover, the device restarted itself then. There appears to be no damage to the SD card (my swap is there).
