As already mentioned elsewhere, I am porting modRana to Sailfish.

And by porting I mean it will still work on & be released for all currently supported platforms but will now also work on Sailfish.

ModRana currently uses tiled map images for map display. Tiles are downloaded from the Internet when viewing the map and stored locally. There is also support for batch downloading tiles for a given area.

I have also plans fro implementing proper vector based map rendering, but unfortunately no timeline fort that just yet.

ModRana does turn-by-turn online & offline (using Monav) navigation. So as long as I can get Monav & Espeak (or equivalent TTS system) working on Sailfish, it should work there too.
