It's great!
There are lots of vector maps to be downloaded from the OSM webpage for the whole countries (for example this: http://download.geofabrik.de/europe/poland.html). It's particularly useful as you can download the maps for the whole country at once. Will modrana support this?
So it should be possible in the future to use these OSM data dumps for generating suitable datasets for modRana to use.

Haha looks like 3d maps are nearbtw able to download whole countries would simplyfy things

and are there plans for including here maps ?

Martin, thanks again for your work, it was a donation well spent!

(f-droid is a great FOSS repository for Android)
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.gpodder.android
So if everything goes well and I don't hit any other substantial blockers, then some preliminary modRana (with Qt 5 GUI) packages for Android should show up in a matter of days.

ok, so does Modrana have any of these features:
1.Support for using Google Transit GTFS data (specifically displaying stops on the map and then getting info about those stops just like Google Maps does)
2.The ability to download an entire area offline by name (e.g. "Australia" or "Brisbane") without needing to manually figure out the coordinates for the area I want to download (I have a very fast ADSL connection at home but when on the road, my internet is often slow or non-working so I need maps offline but having to manually select coordinates and areas to download is too hard given the vast size of the greater Brisbane area and all the places I go to)
and 3.The ability to search by address or location and see where it is on the map.
Does modrana have these features? Nokia Maps has #2 (my most important feature for a mapping program), if modrana can do #2 and at least one of #1 or #3, I will switch from Nokia Maps to modrana.

#2 and #3 is present, #1 is not, AFAIK (to be precise - you CAN view layer with traffic overlay on top of, for example, satellite map, but not some fancy other things.).

Also the tiles can consume significant amount of storage if high level of detail is being downloaded.

and
And if you plan to download a lot of map tiles, make sure to use the "sqlite" tile storage backend - unlike the "files" backend the tiles can't be shared with other applications like Mappero, but the tiles consume much less space (the "sqlite" backend eliminates the wasted space issues for many small files stored on FAT32).
In the future when the planed vector map support is working, I would like to make it possible to download (& update) vector map data pack directly from modRana (eq. Berlin, Australia, Europe, etc.) but that is still a bit in the future.

BTW, modRana is open source and mostly written in Python - and I'm pretty much the only one working on it at the moment and I can only do so much. So if you consider a feature important but it is missing, the best way to get in into modRana quickly is to send me a patch.

Which python modules does Modrana use? Your app could be a guinea pig for testing how our ported modules work with python2.7 ;D

python-dbus, python-protobuf (>= 2.4), python-imaging, python-location, python-osso, python-conic, python-hildon
Of course it also uses pygtk but for some reason it is not declared in package dependencies and yet it works. :P
And for the Qt4/QML GUI:
python-qtmobility12, python-pyside.qtgui, python-pyside.qtdeclarative
If problematic these could be split to a subpackage (modrana-qt4-gui) and I'm probably going to do the subpackage anyway so that modRana does not drag in so many Qt dependencies for people who only use the GTK interface.
Anyway, to test just run:
Code:
python2.7 /opt/modrana/modrana.py -d n900 -u gtk

should be possible to use mbrola in modRana?
voices with mbrola+espeak are less robotic
this is a small guide on how to use mbrola arm version on the N900 for Navit turn-by-turn voice instructions
Download mbrola arm version from this link:
http://www.tcts.fpms.ac.be/synthesis...nux/mbrola.rar
i downloaded on my pc, extracted, and transfered the mbrola binary file via ssh to N900 in /usr/bin/ folder. (maybe is possible to save some rootfs space putting the mbrola binary in /opt and then create a symlink from /usr/bin to the file)
for voices i found to ways:
you can download voices from http://www.tcts.fpms.ac.be/synthesis...brcopybin.html
download your favourite voice package, i downloaded it4 package (italian female voice), extract, cause you need only the it4 file. then put the it4 file in a folder in MyDocs.
mbrola will search voice files in /usr/share/mbrola/voices/ so you need to create a symlink /usr/share/mbrola/voices/it4 linking to the file in MyDocs
another possible way, not tested, is to use some mbrola voice files already present in espeak folder /opt/espeak/data/voices/mb/ (so no need to download a voice file)
to let mbrola work with navit , you just need to edit speech.xml file like this:
<speech type="cmdline" data="espeak -v mb-it4 -s 150 -a 150 -p 50 '%s'"/>
and the new voice works!
-s sets the speed
-a sets the volume(av. 100)
-p sets the pitch(av. 50)
please check if can work with modRana too
And for future vector maps support, should be possible to use something similar to Navit Planet Extractor?
so you can choose the map area to download, and it generates a mapfile.bin

I have though about various methods easy user-accessible vector data access, such as:
- easy osm/osm.pbf -> routing data converters
- global repository with per-country data packs (like the current global Monav offline routing data repository)
- build in support in modRana for downloading OSM data and importing them to the vector database
- or something similar to the online Navit tool
