But I was not able to make it work till now. I downloaded the data (local car data) and extracted it in the map. And I can select that data somewhere in modRana. Nevertheless, the map keeps saying "Loading..." on a green background. Changing some other settings in modRana did not help.

Any idea what I am missing to fix this?

Unfortunately, modRana currently uses Monav only for offline routing.

The monav-preprocessor can create data for vector Map rendering & the Monav client can use them. But there is no interface for third-party applications, such as modRana, to use this functionality.

Possible solutions:

extending the Monav interface to output rendered map images (as map tiles ?)
- would probably need to be done by the creators of Monav or at least someone with more C++ knowledge than I have
- the interface is based on Google's Protocol Buffer format, so returning binary image data would not be an issue
just using the Monav (or some other vector data) format for a different modRana compatible renderer, such as Kothic
