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" :) )

Other applications
This page also contains some information about modRana sister projects, such as Mieru, RePho & Panora.

Howto/Manual

A short quide describing how to use the various fetures provided by modRana. [work in progress]

Even thoug the main manual/guide is still work in progress, there already various separate guides/howtos for various modRana features:

Supported Platforms

The target platform for modRana is Maemo 5 on the Nokia N900 and Sailfish OS on the Jolla.

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

ModRana also works on the Nokia N900, N9/N950, Openmoko Neo FreeRunner, Smart Q7, OpenPandora handheld, Nemo Mobile devices and standard Linux PCs.

There are also ports for Android, BB10, WebOS & Tizen in progress.

It is quite possible, that modRana also works on other devices, thanks to the low dependency count. If you find that modRana works on your device and it is not yet listed, please let me know and I'll add it ! :)
