Hmm, is there some dependency on fonts or something, i.e. that I don't have some system font installed which modRana uses to display CJK?
Code:
chinese-font 1.3.0-1 Chinese Font supporting defoma 0.11.7osso Debian Font Manager -- automatic font configuration framework eff-content-fonts 1.0-6 Fonts for the content on OSSO platform. fontconfig 2.6.0-1osso1+0m5 generic font configuration library gsfonts 1:8.11+urwcyr1.0.7~pre43-1-maemo1 Fonts for the Ghostscript interpreter(s) libfontconfig1 2.6.0-1osso1+0m5 generic font configuration library (shared library) libfontenc1 1:1.0.4-2 X11 font encoding library libfreetype6 2.3.9-1osso2+0m5 FreeType 2 font engine, shared library files libxfont1 1:1.3.2-1maemo2+0m5 X11 font rasterisation library libxft2 2.1.12-2osso2.cs2007q3+0m5 FreeType-based font drawing library for X ttf-droid 1.01-dfsg0maemo3 Font, used by Google's Android, with extensive style and language support ui-fonts 3.1-2+0m5 Fonts for the User Intefrace. libsdl-ttf2.0 2.0.9-1osso1+0m5 ttf library for Simple DirectMedia Layer with FreeType 2 support ttf-droid 1.01-dfsg0maemo3 Font, used by Google's Android, with extensive style and language support
I still have the old behavior, i.e. see the Kanji when selecting the POI, but then when it's displayed on the map, the POI name is just boxes...
(mine reports v0.28-2)

Directory used depends on the renderer used.
Are there subdirectories containing .png tiles or something else? For example, OSM (Open Streetmaps) use one directory for each layer (0-18), and then further subdirectories for tile IDs.
GPS fix takes often a long time, if you do not use network assisted position and/or moved some distance since the last position updated.
If the receiver did not have a fix by now, you won't have the position to load the tiles for, neither from network (on demand) nor from disk cache, regardless if there's anything on disk already.

In the POI list, I see the proper kanji, in the POI info see the large POI name in kanji, on the map - just squares.
Even created a test POI, just to see there were no issues with the last one saved, but no, still the same behavior.
Are you sure you have the latest version

I have a feature request for modRana:
- allow to search for destination/display it on the map, by entering the latitude and longitude;
- display the lat/long for a point clicked on the map, so I can use it for other purposes, i.e. sending a lat/long reference etc.
Should be doable easily...

Sure, i would like to help on improving the user interface. But as i'm always trying to avoid changing code / (re)compiling, i prefer editing and changing resources directly on file level.
You can just edit the source, implement your improvements and then send me the diff vs the original source and I'll merge it to the "main" version if it looks OK.

I donated to modRana a few weeks back and I was quite shocked to recieve a pretty awesome postcard in the post yesterday from Martin thanking me, that's cool dude!
I've never had that sort of personal response from donating to a project before.
Thanks a lot Martin!
I have actually sent about five postcards already on the addresses shown in Paypal but your reaction is the first I got so far. Maybe the addresses were incorrect and/or the postcards got lost somewhere.

Is there any way to forbid downloading maps (cuz 3G is expensive in my country) and to manually add maps?
With this setting modRana will not download tiles automatically but online POI search and routing will still be possible.

I got mine and though it was cool, but it was literally the day before I was off for vacation for 2 weeks, so I forgot to reply about it when I got back. So at least 2 of 5 made it!

If I use all Chinese characters for the POI name and description then after selecting which category to place the POI, the name and description are both shown as "None".
If I use ascii characters for the beginning of the POI name (and description) followed by Chinese characters then POI is entered and listed correctly. However if I choose "show on map" then it only shows ascii characters with rectangular outlines instead Chinese characters. In other words the behaviour is similar to that described in my earlier post
On a different matter, I have problems batch downloading tiles when using Google map/satellite/overlay. All the tiles fail to download. They get downloaded properly when scrolling around the map so had I just spent a couple of happy (
) hours scrolling around the place where I'll be visiting tomorrow to cache the tiles. Batch downloading Virtual earth satellite hybrid and OSM tiles work fine.

In fact searching for online POI in Japan, they indeed display fine, i.e. no boxes.
However, displaying my created POI's, the problem persists, i.e. kanji shows fine in POI information dialog and POI screen, on the map, just boxes.
If I enter, as kureyon hinted part name in kanji and part in ascii, the ascii part displays fine, kanji just boxes.

What might help, if you REALLY want to download google stuff, instead of just boycotting it, would be to set the download threads to max out at 1 if possible (or is the lowest number 5?, don't remember), that might help it...
