- periodic gpx tracklog flush
- Lambert Conformal Conic projection supported (useful for S-JTSK approximation)
- Rijksdriehoeksmeting datum added to defaults
- fixed: NMEA correlations bug that caused altitude missing sometimes
- support for running TB with Esmertec Jbed (and perhaps Intent Midlet Manager) on WM

Windows Mobile
The main obstacle preventing TB to run on WM devices with usual java launchers (Esmertec Jbed and Intent Midlet Manager) was the lack of serial port access from midlets. The solution is quite simple - use COM port -> TCP socket redirecting native application like GpsGate (http://franson.com). It is very powerful, but not free. So I wrote a simpler one called GpsPort. And renamed Serial provider to Stream, because it handles all stream sources - COM port, TCP socket, BTSPP...
Here's the link to Jbed I use on HTC Artemis (integrated GPS) together with GpsPort:
http://www.winmobiletech.com/092007MidletBible/JRebeiro_EsmertecJbed_20071119.3.1.zip.
The advantage of running TB in Jbed is 1) it runs faster 2) Jbed supports semitransparency so I can use generic version of TB with nicer graphics.

Example (my setup):
- GpsPort: redirect COM4 port to TCP port 20175
- Stream provider -> Connection URL: socket://127.0.0.1:20175

Tak mám problémy s poslední verzí (podobné se objevovaly i někdy kolem 09.56, později byly vyřešeny), spouštím to na Nokii 6233.
Problém se projevuje pouze v některých oblastech (některé části Moravy)
V atlasu ČR mám 3 vrstvy (1:150000, 1:50000 a 1:20000)
Jestliže v kterékoliv vrstvě najedu na souřadnice 49°16'29" a 16°26'13" a přepnu vrstvu na 1 nebo 2 je vše OK, stejně tak přepínám-li potom mezi 1 a 2, ale přepnu-li na vrstvu 3 (1:20000), změní se mi souřadnice na 48°43'38" a 12°43'43" v této (3.) vrstvě potom přestane fungovat i GOTO z menu waypoints - posunuje se to na nesmyslné souřadnice. Pokud chci aby to začalo zase fungovat, musím se přepnout na 1. nebo 2. vrstvu a pak je to OK (i GOTO). Jestliže se opět přesunu na nějaké reálné souřadnice (Morava viz výše) a přepnu-li se zase zpět na 3. vrstvu, problém se opakuje. Zkusil jsem tam zpátky nainstalovat i 09.76 a tam se uvedený problém neprojevuje, vše jede OK.

Sorry it is quite difficult for me to describe, this problem in English.
There is a problem only in last version - when I switch layers in a big atlas so coordinates have changed on impossible values - but this problem seams only in some layers of atlas and some places.
Version 09.76 is OK

Hi,

First of all i want to thank you for the great programm you are working on.

i just read that you have implemented a
- periodic gpx tracklog flush
and i think it would be great to have this also for nmea log files.

Would this be possible?

Thanks

Thanks

Fixed and ready for download again...

I can´t install it... in emu... error too..

[kruch]

Sorry man... just re-uploaded the jad file. 239063 is correct, however for some reason the jad file was not overwriten.

I'm having serious problems using ftp over wifi at home

What's coming in 0.9.78: visible-trail-on-map feature

[amok]

Nokia 6300 tvrdí, že je to neplatná aplikace. Mám to na kartě, předchozí verzi jsem smazal z karty přes PC. Po nahrání verze 0.9.76 tato funguje bez problémů.
Jinak bych chtěl poděkovat autorovi na tomto místě za super aplikaci!

Research:
Windows Mobile -> ASUS P535(int.GPS at COM2).
TB 0.9.77 run on WM6 with java launchers JRebeiro_EsmertecJbed. I use COM port -> TCP socket redirecting from COM2 to socket 127.0.0.1:20175.
My problem is:
WM try to connect via GPRS again and again. I thing doesn't accept COM->SOCKET redirection.

- Stream provider -> Connection URL: socket://127.0.0.1:20175

Yes with GpsPort. On TB when I select START, device start GPRS session. And than repeat again after beep.

After I managed it to get TB work with J9, I tried the new version of TB with the build in Esmertec Java now.

I did it the way kruch recommend in his posting above - including installation of the JRebeiro Jbed (even I don´t have a clue what it is good for... )

Comming to the point: After installation it worked right out of the box! And no problem connecting to the build-in GPS using GPSPort.

GREAT - THANKS!

But even everything work fine, I think there is a small bug: When I press start in TB, I get a message about a try to connect to the internet.
This is no problem for me because I don´t use internet by UMTS so I used a wrong APN in network settings and stay offline...

@ kruch
Do you have an idea if it is possible to start GPSPort from TB?
It is not really a problem to start it first, but a little bit inconvenient...
