Hi,

Just a quick announcement that I have just released the latest version (0.2.0) 
of "Hikar", my augmented reality app for walkers and hikers showing footpaths 
and signposts on the camera feed.


Main changes are that it now covers the whole of Europe (thanks to affordable 
hosting by Hetzner) and also features virtual signposts pointing the way to 
nearby points of interest.


It's available on Google Play at

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=freemap.hikar


and source code is available at

https://gitlab.com/nickw1/hikar


A few caveats, for example you won't get a perfect match between the real-world 
and OSM data due to GPS inaccuracies (both device and surveyed path), it's 
battery intensive and doesn't have a really nice UI (though is usable for 
navigation).


Also note that it's unlikely to work effectively in large cities (e.g. London, 
Paris) due to sheer volume of data. It's aimed more at countryside use or 
smaller cities and towns.


It appears stable from testing but do let me know any crashes/bugs, including 
the lat/lon the crash occurred (this will help debugging immensely), either via


https://gitlab.com/nickw1/Hikar/issues


or via email hikar...@gmail.com.


It requires 4.2+ but for an unknown reason will not work on the Amazon Fire HD 
10.


Thanks,

Nick
