Mobile Trail Explorer v1.3

There have been some progress with the Mobile Trail Explorer project. The newest version contains some improvements and new features like displaying speed, heading and altitude information on the main screen. New release is also capable of exporting trails in GPX format.

You can download the latest release from Google Code’s project page or from software page. Thanks to Dave and Mario who contributed code for the release.

Car Manager with export feature

One user just asked for a feature to a Car Manager application so that he could export the entries from the application. I wasn’t sure that MIDP 1.0 would allow this but it turned out to be a very simple to integrate the export functionality to the application using the File Connection API (JSR 75) as I had already used it in the Trail Explorer application for exporting GPS trails to memory card.

Screen shot of entries in Excel

After few minutes of coding with the fabulous NetBeans IDE the result was that now user is able to select a path for exported CSV file and application writes entry information using the File Connection API. CSV file can be opened for example with Microsoft Excel for further processing.

You can find download links to the latest release from the Car Manager page. Feel free to leave a comment on the feature and improvement ideas.икони
