Anyway. My first question, I was using modRana on the PC to download a big bunch of maps. This works fine and much faster than on my N900, but there is a small problem. The PC does not have a GPS and the program always defaults to starting in Brno. To get the UK maps, I had to zoom out to level 2, scroll, zoom in. Is there a better way? To fake the GPS coordinates, for example? I looked at all the config files in ~/.modrana but they did nor provide the answer.
Its possible, but rather convoluted.

First create a POI on the coordinates you want to set as curren GPS position. Then in the POI detail menu, click on tools and then on set as position. And thats it. This is needlessly complicated and should be much simpler.

Alternatively, you can also use the --focus-on-coordinates CLI option.

BTW, I've added both to the very brief and totally incomplete modRana manual.

Looking forward to your questions !
