I've been using Tangogps/Foxtrotgps for some time now and I'd like to make an observation and some suggestions.
I'm using the current - May 14th - incarnation of Foxtrotgps on an Asus Eeepc 701 4GB. I find that the drawing lag is about 8-10 seconds behind reality, I'm pretty sure it didn't used to be that long with the last version of Tangogps but I may be misremembering. Some enhancements I would like to see in some future version would be as follows: 1. Stop plotting when signal lock is lost or ignore obviously erroneous points, I get spurious points thousands of miles from my current track. 2. Stop plotting when there is no motion, this would eliminate the inevitable "jitter" when stationary. 3 Add an upload track to Openstreetmap option. I like Foxtrotgps and have found it the best and simplest at the job I want it to do. which is mainly plotting tracks for uploading to Openstreetmap although I have used it as a navigational aid when taking a narrowboat on the canals of Britain. Although I use Open GPS Tracker on my phone a lot now, it is a very small screen and I prefer the larger screen on my Eeepc. Please keep up the good work. -- Richard. http://www.leiston.info _______________________________________________ This message is sent to you from [email protected] mailing list.
