Final outcome.... Thanks to 'Wikiwide' pointing me in the right direction and for Martins patience, I have now managed to get EVERYTHING to work in modRana, including spoken directions in English (using eSpeak) & more importantly the routing between two points. I think the problem was that I didn't realize that there HAD to be an internet connection for 'getting a route' (I used my home WiFi link)
Many thanx for a great APP.
