Hello. I had some problems that prevented me from working on the project. I went to teach at a summer school that had no Internet coverage, surprisingly. And secondly, there was not a single free minute to spend. Now I returned back, but I still have no Internet at home, so pushing commits is a pain.
As for the progress, I have implemented a basic map interface that shows markers that were added to a session and have a gps location embedded. Also, I've added GPS altitude support as suggested somewhere here on the list. I am using osmdroid library for map display, and am starting to find its functionality very poor (e.g cannot easily create a pop-up for marker). I am looking to switch to Google Maps API v2, or use my own invention.
