= Data storage = This article describes where modRana stores data. [[PageOutline]] == Map data == Map data are by default stored in the modRana directory in '''~/.modrana/maps''' in per layer folders. When using the sqlite database for storing map data, each layer has its own database files (lookup database and 1+ storage databases) stored in its own folder. === Maemo5@N900 === The default path for the map data folder on Maemo is '''/home/user/MyDocs/.maps''', bacause '''!MyDocs''' resides on a 27GB FAT32 partition, which is the largest continuous partition in default Maemo 5 install on the N900.[[BR]] '''NOTE:''' ''Because of the FAT32 file-system used in !MyDocs, you should consider enabling sqlite tile storage (in '''options->map->tile storage'''). FAT32 uses very large per-file clusters, which together with map data that consists of thousands of individual tiles causes huge waste of space. Sqlite can store thousands of tiles in a single file and thus avoids this issue.'' == sqlite tile storage == #sqlite Sqlite tile storage is ''available since '''V0.16-1'''''. It saves space on devices with FAT32 and related filesystems by storing tiles in database instead of thousands of files and folders. For more information, check out the detailed [wiki:SQLiteStorageDescriptionEN SQLite tile storage description & specification] page. == POI == '''P'''oints '''O'''f '''I'''nterest are stored in a SQLite database file in '''~/.modrana/POI/modrana_poi.db''' '''Maemo 5@N900''': POI are stored in '''/home/user/MyDocs/.maps''' and the file is called: * '''modrana_poi.db''' if POI sharing with Mappero is disabled (default) * '''poi.db''' if POI sharing with Mappero is enabled == Tracklogs == Tracklogs are stored in '''~/.modrana/tracklogs''' in folders representing tracklog categories (by default logs, online, misc). '''Maemo 5@N900''': The main tracklog folder is: '''/home/user/MyDocs/tracklogs''' == Configuration files == Configuration files are in '''~/.modrana/''' === Persistent setting database === The persistent settings database is stored using the Python Marshal module inside '''~/.modrana/options.bin''' === Main configuration file === The main configuration file is in: '''~/.modrana/user_config.conf''' === Map layers configuration file === The map layers can be configured in: '''~/.modrana/map_config.conf'''
