Roadmap

See the roadmap wiki page for the current modRana roadmap. In short, the main item on the current roadmap is a new Qt based GUI, in addition to the current GTK based one.

Supported devices

Maemo 5 @ N900

ModRana is conveniently available directly from the location&navigation category in Extras-Devel.

MeeGo 1.2 @ N9,N950

Porting to Harmattan is a work in progress - see the [[modRana_Roadmap| roadmap] for more info. It is already possible to run modRana with the currently available GTK GUI but it should be much more usable once the Qt based GUI is in a usable state.
