Any idea if they provide some anonymous interface (so that modRana doesn't have to handle Foursquare login credentials) ?

In other news, modRana 0.40.3 has been release !
The main features of this release are:
  • possible improvements to automatic and batch tile download performance
    Previously some GTK & Gobject thread initilazation methods were not called at startup, which according to the documentation meands that up until now, threads run by modRana might have been dependent on GTK events happening. This would explain slow batch tile download with blanked screen (modRana does not redraw the screen when it is turned off). So see for yourself and please report any findings related to possible performance improvements.
    Bsically, everything that uses threads in modrana (online search/routing, automatic tile download, batch tile download) might be influenced.
  • the map selection dialog in the QML GUI now shows all map layers and is group->layer nested
    It now shares the same map layer data model as the GTK GUI, so both should now show the same (full) nested list of map layers.

This is how the new nested layer selector looks like:
