although i'm not yet using loadstone due to a non- gps phone, i've got this information from a friend on twitter, and checked the website.
for downloading this latest versiion, or for more information, please visit http://www.loadstone-gps.com here i'm copying the what's new information, and a short summery of what has changed in this version from the website. Release Notes The following changes took place in Loadstone GPS version 0.72: Note: The following is meant as a brief summary. For comments relating to functions/commands etc please refer to the Loadstone GPS documentation on the Loadstone GPS web site: http://www.loadstone-gps.com --There are new Russian, Turkish, Danish, Romanian, and Serbian translations. Most previously available languages have been improved. --Bluetooth GPS receivers now correctly work when GPS Source is set to "phone". Functionality of the "phone" source has been improved. --Commands in the "GPS Submenu" now work on Bluetooth GPS receivers using the MTK chipset. Additional commands are also available for these devices. --Multiple databases can now be loaded and used at the same time. --Querying Checkpoints linked to multiple points saved with the same coordinates now return the correct name. --Currently loaded Checkpoints are now included in point searches and "Show Area" functions. --There's now an end key setting in the general settings tab to control what happens when the end key is pressed. The settings are: "Exits" (the default behaviour), "Confirm exit" and "Ignore." Behaviour of these settings may vary with handset model; however, Loadstone GPS will usually end up in the background if "Confirm exit" or "Ignore" is selected. --Handsets containing the "Focus" key can now be mapped to commands. In addition, the "Call" key can be mapped. --The "joystick keys" in "Navigation mode" are now mappable. --"Shift/Long *" will now perform a "Find point" using the database. "Shift/Long + joystick keys" will now perform a "Show area" in the given direction using the database. --In "Exploration mode" the joystick keys now do nothing. --Most commands found in the "GPS" submenu can now be mapped to keys. --The "Start logging" option within the "GPS" submenu will now ask for a file name. A new log file may be created or an existing file appended to. The log files are stored in a directory called logs under the Loadstone GPS file/directory tree. --The about screen is now displayed in a scrollable dialogue. Please note that this dialogue does not display correctly on all handset models. This will be rectified in the future. --Importing status results are now displayed in a scrollable dialogue. --Most file list dialogues now contain the "default" file as the second list entry if a "default" file choice exists. --If there are unsaved or modified checkpoints upon programme exit, a prompt will be displayed to allow saving. There is a setting in "General settings" to turn this on/off. --In "Navigation mode" there is now a "Last point" submenu to allow performing operations on the last point displayed by Loadstone GPS. This point can be the result of a command or a Checkpoint announcement. --There is now an automatic time zone setting in the "gps settings" tab found in the "Settings" submenu. Activating this setting will try to determine the local time zone rather than using the "Time offset hours" and "Time offset minutes" settings. This also accounts for daylight savings time if applicable. --It's now possible to enter a literal "." (period character) in a search string by using ".." --If "Use Checkpoints only" is "Enabled" the "Find point" and "Show area" functions will only act on Checkpoints. --The altitude display now works correctly. regards, ruchir. -- As long as forever, I will stay by your side, I'll be your companion, Your friend and your guide!!! www.ruchir89.wordpress.com To unsubscribe send a message to accessindia-requ...@accessindia.org.in with the subject unsubscribe.
