Forum: General Topics

First of all I want to thanks you for big work that you have done in this version!
Keep this improve speed ;) You have realized very big feature set from first version that I see.Keep this tendention!

And some more suggestion as usual ;)
1. When unset "backlight on" - light turn off immediatly and display stay unreadable while not pressing any key.
2. Very convinient browse and export file - I want to say it again ;) Waiting for import route from Ozi and export/import track from Ozi - I hope it is not very diffcult for you now.
3. And may as future feature for your mind.. For more light starting program when very big number of trackpoints stored - merge near point in one, for part of track when on one way moving more than one time. Forexample start this process by menu item and merge points that are near that some distance. This for dreams.. I have a some unconvinient that program start have a very long time when my track have some hundred kilometers lenght.

Hi Guys,

TDHster-

I've just released another version - you can now Import/Export the Route and Export the Track as an Ozi file. I've not added Importing of tracks though - I'm not sure why this would be needed?

I don't think I can stop the backlight from turning off immediately - it needs to do this to cancel the 'always-on' setting - the phone doesn't allow much control of its light via Java. (I guess this isn't too big a problem though)

To clarify your last suggestion, are you after a way of reducing the complexity of the track when its size starts getting large? I've thought about adding something like this for a while - perhaps each time the track reaches 100, 200, 300 points, etc, the phone could scan through the track removing any points which aren't necessary (eg consecutive points which all lie roughly on the same line, points which are close together, etc). And maybe a menu option to do this manually at any time...?

Mark-

I'll look into adding the display markers and selectable track stats - I don't think this will be too easy with the Google/Microsoft Map display, but it should be possible on the Plan applet. (By the way, is your phone working any better regarding the Memory error messages that you had been getting?)

Cheers,
Stephen

Hi Stephen

To be honest: I don't use the maps that often. My main usage is while running (immediate storage of my track and after analysis) and while driving (following a route). Since I know almost all highways in the netherlands (we're not that large and I'm somewhere in the country roughly once a week) waypoints at major intersections is good enough for me.

So the error I reported: I haven't seen that one anymore. What I did see was an error while looking at an empty route. TMJ-mobile correctly says "no route loaded", but when I then push the large "enter" button on the 6234, it crashes with error "Array Index Out of Bounds"

Just saw that I've to download 0.4.8. I can't keep up with all new versions!

Cheers,

Mark.

TDHster - no problem, I'll increase the text size for the next version...

Mark- thanks, I've found the 'No Route Loaded' bug. The timezone problem had me a bit confused, but I think I've found the cause now. The problem is that when TMJ-Mobile sends the time for each trackpoint it is using the phones local timezone setting, whereas the website expects this to be a GMT time (so that it can keep everything consistent). So in fact the 'Added to Site' time is correct, but the Start and Finish times (and all the times listed on the Data page) are an hour out (and will be even worse for anyone further east or west)!! I'll have this fixed for the next version...

Cheers,
Stephen
