@Martin thank you for the latest update...its much faster and smooth now.. Just wanted to point you to one issue which needs to be sorted out.. When i do a point-point routing and after the route is calculated i go into route info page and see the text containing origin and destination info is messed up. I think reducing the font size to fit in the text should fix this. Please check the screen shot below: Thanks again for your efforts http://www.flickr.com/photos/32073914@N07/5685901961/
Btw: I do plan on trying to get the tile server thing up and running still... .
I've had a string of bad timing on my end, as I work for a group that's impacted when natural disasters happen. And you may have noted, there's been quite a few lately, both internationally and in the US... So once the planet starts cooperating...
quick question: can I derive from the numeric sub-directory naming (under ~/myDocs/.maps/Google maps) the geographic area that the sub-directory relates to?
I downloaded a large amount of tiles, both around various cities and along various routes, in different countries. Unfortunately, these tiles didn't seem to be available to Modrana when I needed them, but that's a different story (good old Ovi maps came to the rescue!). Anyway, I'm tight on space in my MyDocs partition and I want to strip out any downloaded tiles in Italy, Spain and USA. Can I find out the appropriate folder names (under myDocs/.maps/Google maps) and delete just these specific tiles (leaving any UK tiles I currently have untouched)?
Also, once I know what directories i want to delete tiles from, can I delete the whole directory (such that it will be recreated automatically should I in future re-download tiles for that area) or must I leave the directories in place and just delete their contents? TIA for any advice (worst case, I don't mind just deleting all content under Google maps - as long as that won't prevent Modrana from recreating the directory structure when needed).
Hi MartinK. Your recent upgrade has substantially improved modRana's performance. It was quite noticable if you are using a poorer internet service and you would like to look at sattelite images. Thanks for your efforts! I have a question about routing algorithms. When I was testing modRana, I tried to see how well it would route me to work and it actually came up with a route (unlike other naviagtation apps) that put me on a limited access road you would have to go through a security check to proceed. Is it possible to select other routing algorithms in case I do not have proper credentials to proceed! (ie major roads, shortest distance or time) Thanks again!
options->navigation->online routing allows you some control (avoid major highways and/or toll roads). Also, if you end up facing a security checkpoint, you can of course just back up, drive around it via any available road (using good old eyeballs for guidance!) and then use the modrana reroute function - which will hopefully restore you to the optimal route.
