How so? I looked for a way to do it, but didn't see a way to.

Awesome to know there's a file to change the filter. Btw: If user changes happen, the app manager will make a backup and then replace it with the package contents by default. apt-get will prompt and ask what to do.

Will do, once I play with it, make some changes and test.

Awesome. Was hoping both would be easy. I've been renaming them in xterms for now, but having it in-GUI would be nice. Also having it save routing messages in the GPX seems a sane thing to do, just in case it's used as a route again. Is there a way to load a GPX as a route? I see a way to load it as a track log, and to activate the track, but not a way to call it a route so that voice directions can be started?

This is good. I think part of the random reboots some of us are seeing are related to GPS usage. I've had 3 random reboots since the PR 1.3 update, once while using the camera (with geo tagging on), once in Modrana while getting lots of tiles, and once while running bariosquare, all use GPS. If we turn that off during a long download it would also save battery quite a bit.

That all sounds great. I'm just thinking it would be handy for cases where +/- gets bumped and it caches some tiles outside the range I normally use, etc. In the old method I could just nuke the offending folders. Not so easy with a database.

I've seen that behavior, but that's not what I mean. For example, theres a trip I take weekly that routes me onto a highway for about 20 miles, then another for 5. This past weekend I took it with ModRana on. On getting onto the highway there was no notice about how long I was going to be on (except for the very small text in the re-route box). At 1.6 miles before my exit, it told me the display text. And again as I was on the exit ramp minutes later it re-read the display text, then told me to exit, then read the new text for the upcoming turn. The next segment was 5 miles, and I got no further warning until I was in the turn that I should turn.

Optimally, I would have preferred a read of the text near the beginning of the highway entry, at about 2 miles before exit (did that part well once), and just before the exit.

I know it can be tough to guess at how far before an exit to announce. Generally I've found the value (750 * (mph/10)) yards works well. But putting in an announce point about 2 miles before a turn on any segment over 2.5 miles would seem a pretty easy thing to do, which would help a lot for those of us using it for longer stretches.

Awesome! Ironically, this will be the third GPS app I've made a contribution to for the N900. When put together I probably could have purchased a cheep dedicated GPS online. Ah well.
