v0.6.5 Released

CHANGES

- Can now directly add a description when adding a new Waypoint - the Name is taken from the first line of text, while the remaining lines form the Description.

- New Settings/Define Shortcut Keys menu allows up to 10 extra phone keys to be customised to specific functions. (See User Guide for details)

- Changed Auto-night colours to trigger at -4deg (from -6deg)

- Map page View/Brightness Setting, for dimming the map at night or fading it to white to make the track stand out better. (Not available on all handsets)

- Settings/Units/Secondary Coordinates option to display UK National Grid or UTM projections on the Text/POSITION page (in addition to Lat/Lng)

- Screen draw speed improvments on Plan and Graph pages when drawing large tracks (with many trackpoints)

- Graph page option to plot individual Speed/Altitude graphs (use [up]/[down] keys to select)

- Rearranged Plan/Map/Vis context menus to make the highlighted item the first option in the menu.

- New Map Location/View Coordinates option in Plan/Map/Vis context menus - displays location in different coordinate formats

- New Map Location/Websites option in Plan/Map/Vis context menus - uses location to display relevant information from other websites in phone browser, eg Panoramio - shows photos near to map location. (Let me know of other suggestions of sites that have useful information that can be retrieved by adding a location into the URL)

- Display/Higher Frequency Screen Updates - experimental option to redraw the screen 5 times per second instead of the usual 1fps. Useful when using a GPS unit that gives multiple updates per second (eg GlobalTop G66 touchGPS). Note: Battery life may be reduced when using this option!

- Further Proximity Alerting code tuning - should (hopefully) be more reliable now!

- Plan page AutoZoom tweaked to help prevent selected waypoint from being hidden by the Loc/Wpt/Rte info overlays.

Have fun!

Cheers,
Stephen

Hi Piotr,

Cheers,

Hi Jamo,

I've just checked the E61/E71 files on the site and they are definitely v0.6.5 so it might be that your phones browser has cached the older files. Look for a 'Clear Cache' option in the phone settings, or try restarting it to force it to download the latest file. Alternatively download the file via your PC and transfer it to the phone.

Cheers,
Stephen
