modRana wiki in Czech Language - Česká verze této wiki

ModRana is a flexible GPS navigation software for (not only) mobile Linux devices.

ModRana is based on ​Rana and written in Python. The only dependencies other than Python 2.5+ needed for running modRana are PyGTK and Cairo for running the GTK GUI.

For the QML GUI, Qt, PySide and QtComponents are needed.

• to enable voice navigation, install espeak (modRana runs just fine without it but it doesn't "speak" :) )

Features

This section demonstrates the functionality of modRana.

This short guide shows, how to enable turn-by-turn navigation with spoken directions in modRana.

Where does modRana store maps, tracklogs, POI and configuration files ? Check out the data storage article.

Supported Platforms

The target platform for modRana is Maemo 5 on the Nokia N900.

Are you a N900 user ? Check out ​the modRana thread at talk.maemo.org :)

ModRana also works on the Nokia N9/N950, Openmoko Neo FreeRunner, Smart Q7, OpenPandora handheld and standard Linux PCs.

It is quite possible, that modRana also works on other devices, thanks to the low dependency count.

Download

Instalation packages are available for:

• Maemo 5 @ N900
• SHR @ Neo !FreeRunner
• Ubuntu/Debian (this package works both on x86 and ARM)

There is also an universal tar archive. This is also basically the complete modRana source code.
