Where does modrana source it's poi's from? Is it from an online source, or is there a way of loading them offline? I can never see any poi's in my area.

Cheers,
I do get to the first stage - enabling the tracklog. Then it displays on the map. But when I want to change the color - black screen (nothing really to make a screenshot of - just a black area where the map is supposed to be) I guess, had it been permission I wouldn't have gotten to the track initiation at all, would I?
But anyway, could you give me a full cmd wording to get permission?

Quick reply.
Turned logging on, returned to the map. OK.
Went to logging, change colour->green, and it showed map, not black screen.

>a full cmd wording to get permission?
chmod 0777 /opt/modrana

If permission is denied, gain root first, and then try again.
Like:
sudo gainroot
chmod 0777 /opt/modrana


Try running ./modrana.py from directory /opt/modrana/ in X Terminal. The application should write down the errors into X Terminal.

Nice to know that modRana is being useful.

This + POI rework are what I currently plan to do next. So it should be available quite soon.

These layers are provided by the OpenStreatMap project and are IMO quite usable.

ModRana currently uses Google Locate as a POI source, and more POI (and routing) providers are planned.
You can test this by typing something like this to the search field in Google Maps:
Code:
pizza near 60.205556, 24.655556
This searches for pizza near Nokia headquarters. The POI search in modRana works like this, you select the a keyword by pressing one of the buttons + current coordinates are used.

Do you mean displaying a saved tracklog or enabling track logging ?
(I found a bug causing a empty/black screen in the track logging menu, will be fixed in the next build)

I do manage to start a track. It displays on the screen but every time I go back to the track menu I get a black screen.
Wikiwide suggested it was permission prob....haven't tried it thou((

I've just send V0.13-2 to the autobuilder, the package should be in the repositories shortly and should fix the black screen after entering log menu (if it is caused by the same issue I fixed).

Also, it is now possible to set where to search for POI -> near view/near current position and more options (near an address/tracklog start/end, etc.) are planned.

That'd be cool! Also (sorry, haven't been checking the tickets lately) I've noticed that of all GPS aps I have on my device the only one that allows me to easily save my current position as a POI is.....Sygic. I mean - just one click and you're at the input menu to enter, say a "Treasure chest location" ))) But seriously - just one-click action to pinpoint your position would be nice, wouldn't it?

Searching in google maps for "pizza near -37.83582, 144.88190" works, but I don't get these results in modrana. Is there a debug mode I can enable to get a log or something?
