Roadmap
See the [[modRana_Roadmap| 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.
