Sure, that should work just fine. On the N9, map data is stored in:
/home/user/MyDocs/.maps/

modRana runs just fine on desktop Linux distributions and it also defaults there to the (for the time being) more featured GTK GUI. You can download the map data here and sync them to your N9.

Alternatively, you can also use dedicated map data downloader, such as for example GMapcatcher. The format used by most of them is compatible with modRana.

EDIT:
And of course modRana on the N9 stores all tiles it "sees" on the map. Such tiles will not be downloaded when requested again, but loaded from local storage (from the above mentioned folder).

Thats for sure! Also, any feedback is welcome & needed for further modRana development.
