There were the similar problems in the N900 way back also.)
Weird, I think it should actually use the sqlite tile storage on Android, I'll investigate.

BTW, just in case, looks this is how directory scanning can be disabled on Android for a directory sub-tree:
  • place a file called .nomedia to the folder
  • the folder and all subfolders will not be indexed

(source)

No idea if/how that influences already scanned folders though. But I think I'll make modRana add a .noimage file when creating the maps folder, just in case.

Yeah, the GUI is still quite basic, but there were quite a few fixes/improvements (such as high-DPI screen handling) and you can now at least finally search for addresses and pubs.

Well see - finally making GPS in modRana work on Android might be a good start. Still, even with all the countless Android deficiencies, there are quite a few (about 500 million ?) Android devices in the wild, so modRana should be able to run on it.

Thanks!
