Trail Explorer v1.13

Posted on by

I was finally able to push the v1.13 release out of the door. There have been large amount of bug fixes that were annoying users in v1.12. There are also punch of excellent new features. Here’s the release notes for v1.13:

  • Option to prevent Map tiles from being downloaded over the network (Cached tiles will still be displayed)
  • Bug fix: When the locale is changed manually, it will be saved (From Kaspar)
  • Bug fix: LocaleManager does now respect the user-selected locale (From Kaspar)
  • Simplified the addition for additional locales (From Kaspar)
  • Find place by using Google service (From Kaspar)
  • German support tweaks (From Peter)
  • OpenStreetMap surveyor feature (From Vikas)
  • …plus tens of bug fixes and features

As always, you can download the binaries from here and source code from Google Code site, here.

You can (and you must) give some feedback on the Google Group: mobile-trail-explorer.

Have fun with GPS tracking! :)

    Hi,

    can you explain or give a link to “OpenStreetMap surveyor feature”

    @Xav: I just wrote a new blog entry about that feature. Hopefully it will explain it a bit more :)

    Hi,

    Nokia maps has this utility which allows you to download map sets of larger areas onto a memory card before you need them. Would it be possible to do something like that for trailexplorer? One has to be gentle on OSM of course, but it would be nice for areas with little GSM coverage or even aroad where you have no data plan and cannot download maps on the fly.

    Ok, embarassing.
    I found the CacheCreator. Maybe you should advertise it a little :)

    @Hans: Maybe I should give it some advertisement :) Did it work as expected?

    With a small cache around 2 MB, yes.

    Then I got greedy and added more zoom steps until i got a 17 MB cache file.
    This one doesn’t work, takes a minute to load and after that trailexplorer just shows green squares where there are cached tiles, but no maps.

    This is on an old Nokia E61, so maybe it’s a RAM constraint or something.
