Thank you.

I also finally got to integrating your improvements, they will be part of the next release.

any ideas?

Or if I just want to use the same offline maps in N900 with some application.
Really depends on the storage format, if its just a bunch of tile images with the standard scheme used by Google Maps and OpenStreetMap, they can be used right away. If it is stored in some kind of (encrypted ?) database, that would be a bit trickier. Can you check out the file format on your device ?

What does CSSU1T mean ? Is that CSSU Testing or Thumb ? For the record, I'm running on CSSU stable with Extras-Devel enabled.

I have this on both N900's I own. Reinstall or deletion of options.bin doesn't fix it. Would be happy to provide further data.
There should be some errors in standard output. So just start modRana from the terminal:
Code:
modrana
And post the output.

I have a question which may have been addressed previously but I cannot find it....
In my installed apps, I have modRana QML which only opens a completely blank white screen with absolutely nothing on it. I have to end task to shut it down. Can anyone guide me with a solution to have it open correctly?
modRana itself is working perfectly......
ModRana QML is the new alternative GUI for modRana, based on Qt & QML. It is quite basic at the moment, but not really that basic (it does show a lot more than just a white screen ).

Do you have CSSU installed ? The QML GUI basically requires it to work correctly, as the Qt & PySide versions on stock PR 1.3 Fremantle are too old & buggy for it to work correctly.

Also, please try to start modRana QML from the terminal:
Code:
modrana-qml
And post the output. Thanks !
