It appears that the MapQuest file type was wrong but all I had to do was edit map_config.conf, find the MapQuest section and change 'png' to 'jpg'. I love it when things are so easy
I've already committed the modRana "compatibility fix" to the repository and it should be part of the next release.

Weird, seems to be working fine for me with both online & offline routing.

Since this makes the N9 neither fish nor fowl, Martin isn't actively working on it. Three options were given, rip out the software guts of the N9 and replace them with something newer, rip out te software guts and replace them with something older or rewrite modrana mostly from scratch to use what the N9 has. Martin stated he doesn't particularly care which option is taken, as long as he doesn't have to do the heavy lifting of replacing qt with a newer version or adding gtk. He has also stated he will not rewrite modrana to use qt4 although he will gladly welcome patches from someone who does so.
Thanks for the summarization - spot on! As Harmattan seems to still remain very very dead, the "try to run GTK from the old packages & run the GTK GUI with it" alternative seems to be the only viable alternative. Unfortunately I haven't really got to look on that yet and can't really say when I'll get to it considering all the other modRana work & general being busy. Of course anyone willing to help with this would be very welcome!

Sorry for bothering ...
It's fine.
