Speed coding FTW 
V0.25-7 with support for multiple visible POI is out.
More later.
V0.25-7 with support for multiple visible POI is out.- once a POI is shown on the map, it will stay visible
- use "clear visible" to wipe all visible POI from the map
More later.

Thanks for the update Martin,
I see in the change log that there is some option regarding font size but could not find anything in the option menu. The route info page for me has overlapped text due to large font size.
Let us know your thoughts on this.
Thanks
Bipin

Hi, I instaled modRana (and now marble as well) after the stock ovi maps failed for me last time and used it last night for a trip.

Also, while driving, I noticed it displayed 'turn on to A12' with the distance increasing steadily. this was after that turn and i was already on the A12. Is this a bug or a feature? because i was on a long stretch of road the next turn was probably still far away but should it not display the next step anyway?
The size of this virtual circle is 30 m by default and can be configured in Options->Navigation->Turn by turn as Point reached distance.

I tried to press the screen for the next step but it tried to go online for re-routing.
Can this have a time out or something, because I had my phone in ofline mode, it couldnt reroute and just kept displaying the message for ten minutes or so
I stopped at a petrol station, went online and let it re-calculate the route and it worked fine after that.
When it was time to go home this morning I went online let it calculate the return trip, went offline again and everything worked perfectly

Couple of requests for improving this program
Can you make the background of the text that displays the turn info slightly darker for more contrast? I have it mounted on my motorcycle inside a RAM Aquabox and the text is a bit hard to read through several layers of plastic (box and helmet visor)
I think I'll add something like "override navigation info box color" + color selection dialog, then.

I didn't have it in full screen mode (to keep an eye on battery level) and noticed that it displays the time (which is displayed by the normal clock as well). Would be nice if this could be left out (when not in full screen mode) or make it configurable to display current speed or maybe ETA.

Offline routing, address lookup, automatic recalculating route when you miss a turn and automatic zooming would be nice too but will probably take a lot of time and work
) + what else I manage from the heap of feature requests. Automatic rerouting - I already how to do that, I'll just need to write the code for it.

I like the big buttons of this program, makes it easy to use even with gloves on and inside the aguabox

-> I'll change this to behave like the visible POI clearing (top level "clear visible" button).

Could someone please make a page with instructions for download of maps and then update the first post?
Or in the first post make a link to instructions if they are hidden somewhere in the thread?

(I will also include CloudGPS which is basically just a map viewer with online search for now but has awesome map rendering)
A list of features and screenshots side by side I think
(I've used a Nokia N73 with GarminXT before but unfortunately lost it, would have been nice to compare it to that as well)

.However the notification seems to stay on as well when you go online after it has appeared (I am not 100 % sure of that).

( I do have an idea of creating a steampunk theme for the n900 and maybe apps but currently just don't have the time for it. something like a brass/copper button background with the image kind of etched in.)

Is it possible to create a motorcycle mode (or own custom modes)?

Sorry if this has been asked before but I could not find the answer - does the app support network positioning?

All times are GMT. The time now is 16:47.
I'm viewing Prague, with OSM T&H map. When at zoom level 17, the tiles download and display, i.e. I see a brief period of downloading when going to a new region, and then it's displayed.
If zooming in to level 18, it just gets stuck on Downloading forever, I mean at first I thought this was due to the fact of the tiles being generated on the server end, but no, even after a couple of minutes, just Downloading everywhere, no errors or tiles not downloaded, just green and Downloading...
Maybe the tiles at this zoom in level already don't exist, don't remember if I could zoom in to 18 before, but I don't get the tile unavailable message now...
