modRana 0.52.3 has been released!
So this is it - finally a new modRana release! While this is mostly a bug-fix release, it still brings support for using the OSM Scout Server layers:




See the OSM Scout Server thread for more information & how to properly setup OSM Scout Server on your device so you can (at last!) enjoy offline rendered maps on your Sailfish OS device.

I've updated the modRana OpenRepos package yesterday and will also submit an update to Jolla Store in about a week if no serious issues surface till then.

The N900 package has not yet been updated as I want to give it a bit more testing, but it should also be updated within a few days.

As for what you can expect in upcoming modRana updates:
  • improved map drawing code, this is actually quite far along, just not yet stable enough for release
  • support for more OSM Scout Server features such as POI search and routing
  • improved routing interface
  • improved track recording
  • better layer and overlay management
  • POI search improvements
Changelog:
Code:
- add OSM Scout Server Day & Night map layers
- add OpenRailwayMap layers
- add OpenFireMap layers
- update URLs for OpenTopoMap, Hike & Bike and Land/Hill Shading layers
- automatic tile download thread count now can be set in Qt 5 GUI
- tile download over HTTPS should now work better due to updated urllib3
- more unit tests
