Version 1.6.0 ----------- - some speed up on trackmanager track scrolling and screen resizing - showing the target bearing on SAT page with a green 'X' (thanks for suggesting, Vicente!) - StyleTap support! There is a bug on the categories selector on the marker page. don't know, who's fault this is... mine or StyleTaps - showing all serial devices now (even one without the RS232-flag). cotoGPS now works on StyleTap with these changes. You Kirrio-user please use the [usbc]-port. - reworked STT/MeritF-calculations to be more accurate - on nautic units display "VMG" instead of "STT" on GPS2 page - fixed a bug on iQue that prevented to show STT and MeritFactor (thanks to Gary Burns for reporting and testing fixes for the last 3 entries!) - added altitude graph to track draw page - track redrawings are faster now on screen resizes - faster sort-by-distance in marker page - corrected documentation regarding hard button behaviour (thanks Uwe for spotting!) - increased font size in target page (thanks for suggesting, Martin!) - removed 9999 km or miles limit on distances-bug (nobody ever noticed?!?) - added support for Nexian ASCII protocoll - changed menu shortcut for GPS page from H to I, H was and is used for Help (thanks Sascha for spotting!) Version 1.5.2 ----------- - Nokia's GPS receiver made some problems, resulting in unusable reconnect behaviour. Fixed. Have fun again! Thanks Martin for telling me! Version 1.5.1 ----------- - fixed bug that caused trouble when you rename a track - rearranged menu items on tracks page Version 1.5.0 ----------- - improved lookup function in marker page, finds all marker that contain the given string somehow (caseless), not just the marker, which names start with that - improved beaming, you can now beam tracks to your desktop and use it with cotoGPS Desktop for further processing - you can as well beam you complete marker database now. Take care not to overwrite an existing database when beaming this to a Palm, it's intended to beam to your desktop! - support for OSGB coordinates - maximum serial speed increased to 115200 (from 57600). There are GPS receivers out there, that can handle that (in fact, that REQUIRE such a speed) - by tapping the odometer at GPS page you can enter a start value for milage - added second Kirrio workaround, if "Kirrio" serial port doesn't work, please try the second one! - Hardbutton 4 adds a new Marker and doesn't reset statistics anymore! Use pulldown menu for that. - new tracks don't popup the rename dialog - in track manager "Use" immediately returns to last page - reconnects to serial port if no data arrive for some seconds, added special button on every page to switch this off, left of the help button CARE! ISSUES! Button doesn't look as expected on PalmOS < 3.5 Don't know, how to work around this :-( - some devices don't send any data before they get a fix. The Palm switched off after the normal timeout, if getting the fix takes longer. Changed. It will not switch off before it gets any data (and of course while it gets data) - when you pressed cancel after trying to send a marker or the marker list a reset followed. Fixed. - shortened marker name input fields from 20 to 19, this was wrong and only with some luck didn't generate a major misbehaviour, thanks Jason for spotting! - support for devices that don't send RMC, trying to get speed and course from VTG - fixed crash when maxspeed is set to a small value - added "Exit" menu item because some newer devices don't have a separate "home"- softbutton anymore and can't stop cotoGPS from running. Thanks Chris for telling me! Version 1.4.0 ----------- - MULTIPLE TRACKS! Finally! Includes track manager. - made world page optional, available via pulldown menu "extra" - added button on target page to quickly see currents markers data - fixed bug on help page, showing the very last line twice (introduced in last version) - optionally use any marker as reference for calculations in marker dialog - support for iQue! Thank you for testing and reporting, Mark! Without you it would have been impossible! - support for Kirrio. Thank you for your hint, Mark! - on runtime silently try to recover from serial errors (automatically reconnecting on software and hardware overruns and lost carriers) (EXPERIMENTAL, PLEASE REPORT!) - removed raw data display ("Show Log") from GPS page and made a new page just for this - on track page display free mem in ISO form, not just as bytes - after successless connect to serial port (including Bluetooth) just stop trying. Prevents endless connect cycles. - "Look Up" feature on marker page, makes marker handling A LOT easier if you have lots of them! - added "golf" option to "Distance and speed" options for the golfers among you. Suggested by Mark Sorg, thank you! - added special Bluetooth option to set a specific receiver and always use that without device discovery at every start. On config dialog hit "Bluetooth...", select your device and choose "Bluetooth" from port list - added lookup table for devices that don't send altitude above WGS84 (a lot of cheap GPS mice don't), so you may get a (more) correct altitude above mean sea level now, this is optionally, see config dialog - added option to ignore altitude above WGS84 NMEA data, as some receivers send WRONG data here - added calculation of magnetic variation for GPS receivers that don't provide these data, thanks Mark Hawkins for sharing your code and knowledge! - improved resizing on Handera (no pixel garbage and trashed help pages anymore) - Maidenhead support for marker and positions - same pulldown menu on all main pages - hardbutton 3 dims the display to save some energy - user defineable max speed for speedometer - probably some more bugs fixed - plastic surgery Version 1.3.1 ----------- - some GPS receiver they omit the fractions of seconds in GGA sequences (f.e. Garmin e-trex summit), fixed wrong parsing. Version 1.3.0 ----------- - Altitude-almanach to map WGS-84 altitude to sea level based altitudes for GPS receivers that don't do that - Strange bug on HandEra devices preventing editing of longitude degrees in marker edit page fixed (thanks Wayne Henning for reporting!) - improved track drawing on high resolution devices - showing "Calculating..." when sorting markers by distance - time offset to GMT was calculated wrong on PalmOS4 and greater and only for users west of Greenwich, thanks Roger Yee for reporting! - support for DIA (Palm's version of screen resizing), yes, resizing works now on Tungsten T3's - forgot to move arrow buttons on marker form when resized, fixed - forgot to resize scrollbar on marker edit form when resized, fixed - area calculation was wrong when using an offset, fixed - area offset is using "meter" now when metric units are selected, "feet" otherwise - compass can be fixed (needle moves) or not (scale moves, needle shows north), just tap on compass to switch mode - added speed-to-target and merit factor to gps2 page - improved speed accuracy - no km/ml counting when speed=0 - at tracking we save no points at speed=0 anymore - beeps use system sounds now (including volume) - some iQue support (not successfully tested. anyone?) Version 1.2.2 ----------- - internal development version only Version 1.2.1 ----------- - Sort by distance (in marker page) - Fixed bug causing wrong time at a time offset of more then 9 hours (thanks Michael Nelson for reporting!) Version 1.2 ----------- - UTM support - Categories for Markers - Categories are in the title bar now, moving A-Z Button back from menu - you can enter coordinates in every supported output format now, including UTM - en-/decrypting geocaching.com's hints - exact display of the course to the target on the target page - fixed a bug that caused crashes when using D° M' S.S'' as coordinate format - fixed a bug that caused T|T2's to spit a "bad parameters" error - new format for Track's, includes a lot of parameters now. A Java based application to extract that data to GPX format is available (using gpsbabel you can convert it to almost any format you need) Version 1.1.3 ----------- - Optimized serial port handling even more, killing very hidden and rare bugs - moved "A-Z" button in Marker page to the menu, making room for Categories. Version 1.1.2 ----------- - Optimized serial port handling, reduced processor load Version 1.1.1 ----------- - Fixed new introduced bug with NewSerialManager on older devices. Version 1.1 ----------- - Palm's battery state was calculated wrong. It is now shown in percent, as it is more accurate. It's still a little bit odd on PalmOS < 3.0 (yes, cotoGPS runs on that, although there are quite a few oddities because of limited system functionality) - support for Sony's Jogdial - improved accuracy for distance, track and area calculation - improved marker list handling - you can add notes to markers now! - improved memory management for help pages - improved memory management for marker list - some problems with Tungsten's and Bluetooth GPS devices reported, tried to improve things - support for Clie's Silk-area. Yes, resizing the screen real estate works now, sharing the code I wrote for HandEra. Thats why I'll probably never remove that (unlike announced shortly) ;-) - Beaming of single markers, the complete marker list and the current track! Version 1.0 ----------- - This was quite a lot of work. Hope to remember all the changes... - Yes, PalmOS5-support! - Fixed quite a lot of bugs, debug ROMs for pose and Palm's simulator helped a lot. - New page (GPS2), showing a variometer, the battery status of the Palm and the GPS device (if provided) and magnetic variation. - "Marker"-dialog features list sorting. - Build-in help for every page and every dialog with a very nice and convenient help page (much better then Palm's build-in dialog!) - Drawing of track/area on the Track-page. Thank you, ZHU Jun, for supporting the development of this feature! - Made infrastructure for internationalization, beside the english version I'll provide a german version too. Thank you, Navilock, for supporting the development of this feature! If you want cotoGPS localized to your language and you are willing to make the translation, please contact me. - License changed from Freeware to Postcardware. Please send me a nice postcard of your home-town/-country/-island/-whatever if you really like cotoGPS and want to support further development. - If you're using cotoGPS with a HandEra-device, please tell me as soon as possible. Otherwise I'll remove the special support for these devices in January 2004. - If you want support for special features of other devices like Sony or Kyocera or Samsung or ..., please send me a ROM-image for pose or the special Simulator. Of course, real hardware is very appreciated! ;-) Version 0.4 ----------- - enhanced "Marker"-dialog. Version 0.3.2 ------------- - "Target" page is ready. Maybe I should call it "Geocaching" page... (Forgot to update the version number in the code, so the "About" dialog still shows 0.3.1) Version 0.3.1 ------------- - Fixed bug in "World" page, every position not in North and East where shown wrong (*in* North and East). Thanks to Mark Stuemky and Dion Weston for reporting. - more accurate display of satellites, moon and sun - current marker is selected when switching to marker page Version 0.3 ----------- - Improved Marker handling. - Area calculation works now. It's not 100% accurate, but good enough. - Minor bug fixes. Version 0.2 ----------- - Shows position of sun and moon in the satellite page to make orientation more convenient.
