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 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.
