Thanks for all the feedback so far !
@visible map scale
There should be a map visible in all modes (but it hides when buttons hide). But the length description on the scale is indeed very tiny and needs to be larger.

@elevation profile
There is actually a half finished onscreen elevation widget, that can be enabled in the user_config.conf like this:
Code:
[[[route_profile]]]
px=0.67
py=0.4
pw=0.3
ph=0.2
To use it once it shows up, select a tracklog, go to its tools menu and select "make active". PS.: This shows how desperately the widget rework is needed.

@offline routing:
There is already some Python code in the Monav experimental branch, so I would say things are really moving in the right direction.

Is it possible to change the position of the infobox in userconfig.conf?
Unfortunately, it is currently hardcoded in the source - but good point, this should be configurable in the user config file (and from GUI in the future).

If you are feeling hacky, you can just change the coordinates in the source file in the meantime.
The navigation box position is hardcoded in /opt/modrana/modules/mod_turnByTurn.py on line 174 and it looks like this:
Code:
(bx,by,bw,bh) = (w*0.15,h*0.20,w*0.7,h*0.4)
bx,by - box upper left corner coordinates
bw,bh - box width and height
w,h - screen width and height
Note that the file will be overwritten during upgrade or reinstall.

OK, I'll make the individual elements separately configurable.

Looks like there was an old version on the website - 0.25-2 vs the current 0.25-7 on Maemo, without the tile loading and batch download enhancements.

The website should be now updated to 0.25-7.

It seems like the text is overlayed, or what to call it, in the log window.
Can I change the log to be less accurate in km somewhere so it will fit the window?
OK, I'll add some rounding. Say 2 decimal places for kilometers/miles < 20 and no decimal places for > 20 ? And maybe something like 2000 km -> 2k km so that even very long distances fit in.
