You should do that anyway :-) I'm expecting to release the following updates (and more) into the wild:
-
Sun Indicator.
Because the N900 doesn't have a built in magnet compass, the display for the direction to the geocache is not always accurate, especially when one is not moving. Therefore, there's a small sun icon in the compass view. If you align the "real" sun with the icon, the direction to the geocache is correct, even when standing still. I will make a blog post about this later.
-
Double map size.
As requested here, you can now have the map displayed in double size to increase readability. It looks ugly, though.
-
Increase of the overall speed.
SQLite transactions where a bit of a bottleneck,
this is how i speed thing up
.
-
No more out of bounds coordinates.
Never get lost again in "Here Be Dragons" land. Scroll from Russia to America without going through Europe and the Atlantic Ocean :-)
-
Better Coordinate Input.
I played around with various coordinate input alternatives and found that the best one is the one from the legacy AGTL. The new one looks similar to
this one
, but a lot nicer.
-
Browser links.
You can now open the geocache page, the "post new log" page and the list of all logs via a link in the details tab.
-
Proper no-fix handling.
Until now, AGTL doesn't show you when it lost its GPS fix. This is essentially a shortcoming of the liblocation in maemo, but I found way to work around it. You will now see immediately when the signal is lost.
... and of course, as always, several bug fixes and minor changes.
