modRana 0.53.2 has been released !
The main highlight of this release is improved map tile handling:
ModRana can now also show up the map layers provided by the Thunderforest project, map layers using the quadtile addressing should now show up correctly again and some dead layers have been cleaned up.
There have been also other fixes, for example on how the GTK GUI handled Unicode and multiline notifications and their timeouts. The Qt 5 GUI also got some fixes for tile rendering glitches and unhandled cases during map overlay config loading.
Changelog
The main highlight of this release is improved map tile handling:
- all supported storage methods are checked when looking for tiles in local storage - if you have some tiles in sqlite and some as files, modRana will now check both
- sqlite tile storage should now be much more robust - there should be no more "database locked errors" and similar weirdness due to fully serialized database access
- this "rewrite" also makes tile storage in modRana much more modular, making it easy to add support for additional tile storage methods or for storing vector tile data

storing vector tile data ; this is some news 
anyway just day before tomorrow got around 135 km biking unknown lands just using modrana and classic old way of asking locals and it all went fine.
there are a few usablity issues in modrana that i found while using it so long i.e app open for all the time that i ll detail later.
all in all modrana is good enough for navigation
thanks

Great work Martin! Been torture testing it for a while, and it doesn't lock up any more. Still a couple of blips - it sometimes 'undraws' a part of the map it's already drawn momentarily, but not enough to interfere with use. And I managed to crash it once - I'll try to get a log if I can make it do it again.
A very impressive achievement though overall - undoubtedly my favourite mapping software now.
I was thinking, it would be amazing if when I'm tethering my tablet to my phone, I could have a modRana installation on my tablet, and use my phone's modRana installation as a kind of proxy map server. Don't know if that's feasible? If so, I could put it on github as a feature request.
Thanks.

Just installed it without any issues. Seems like a very nice app - will try it out in practice later this week. Just did a "dry run" and works very nicely out of the box.

All times are GMT. The time now is 11:57.
Also I guess overlays fall out of the window with these layers, at least without reprojecting the tile images.
BTW, is there a specification of the format somewhere ? I have recently rewritten the modRana tile storage code to a standalone module Python module, so it is now much easier to add support for new tile storage formats. So provided that the format is not too complicated it could be possible to support it directly in the modRana tile storage code. Users would then just drop their RMaps/Big Planet SQLite tile bundles to the respective layer folder and modRana would detect the bundles and query them when looking for tiles.
