Installation package for SHR on the Neo FreeRunner

​modrana_0.10_all.ipk

a walkthrought for intalation on QTMoko (in czech)

• in default configuration, tiles are stored in /usr/share/modrana/cache/images, because the on device space is limited, it is advised to store the tiles on the memory card, the path can be modified in user_config.conf in the modRana main folder

• modRana stores tiles in the same way as TangoGPS, a single tile folder can be shared

• map layers can be configured in map_config.conf in the main modRana folder

• Mapy folder sharing configuration example:
  • our TangoGPS tiles are stored in /home/root/Maps, f.e. a OpenStreetMap layer in /home/root/Maps/OSM
  • we set tile_folder in user_config.conf to /home/root/Maps
  • then we set the !openStreetMap layer prefix OSM (/home/root/Maps/OSM -> OSM)
  • modRana will then use for OpenStreetMap layer tiles this path: /home/root/Maps + OSM -> /home/root/Maps/OSM
