Mobile Trail Explorer v1.10
Lots of coding have been done for the next version of Mobile Trail Explorer. I’m happy to announce the release of version 1.10. This release contains many fixes such as loading/saving of trails. Previous version wasn’t necessarily able to load saved trails because of corrupted data.
Another nice feature is the ability to import both trails and waypoints from KML files so now you can create trail in Google Earth and import it to Mobile Trail Explorer where you can display it as a ghost trail that you can follow.
There is also a new feature for allowing you to post your location to web and create a web service that records your trails. User guide contains a bit more information about this. Location can be posted in the specified URL with query parameters like this:
…/record.php?lon=@LON@&lat=@LAT@&alt=@ALT@
It is very recommended to uninstall the previous version and it’s data before installing this release.
Here are release notes for the v1.10:
- Support varying screen sizes like rotating screen on N95
- Improved startup time
- Support for uploading position to web server
- Scrolling (up/down) on the information screen
- Fixed the saving/loading of trails using RMS
- Import trails from KML files
- Import waypoints from KML files
- Fixed waypoint editing when handling quickly added or imported waypoints
Lots of great feature ideas have been shared in the Google Group discussions so join the conversations if you have some feature needs in your mind.
You can download the binaries (JAR and JAD) from Mobile Trail Explorer page???????? and source code can be downloaded from Google Code project page.
Go ahead and start recording your trails!
