The Monav data are stored in /home/user/MyDocs/.maps/monav_data/ for exactly this reason. It even keeps the master_folder/subfolder Monav data package structure, so it should also be theoretically directly usable by Monav (once you select the appropriate directory).

Marble stores its Monav routing data in /home/user/MyDocs/.local/share/marble/maps/earth/monav/[mode/][continent/][country/]. As it uses a custom profile folder prefix, I don't thing they plan to share the data.

On the N900, you should run it with:
Code:
python modrana.py -u GTK -d n900
Or else you won't get location and other platform specific tweaks.

AttributeError: GPSD instance has no attribute 'connected'
That's just an unrelated & harmless error message caused by the GPS daemon (GPSD) not running. It should not show up anymore since 0.36.2.

Also harmless. There is a button somewhere in modRana, that has an empty string for icon name - have not yet been able to find it.

As 0.36 fixes batch download related bug, that cased the tiles to be saved to a wrong path, please update and check if it fixes your issue.

Also, to disable automatic tile download (indicated by those Downloading... map tiles shown when you enter a new map area) go to Options->Network->Network usage and set Network to Don't download map tiles. Like this modRana will not download any map tiles, unless explicitly through the batch download menu.

Yep, you can do more than just render the map when you have the underlying vector data - like checking on which street you are or pinning the position indicator to the current road in the turn-by-turn mode.

Even though it doesn't support vector map rendering just yet, modRana already has a broad range of donation options.
