I have installed to E51 new version of TB and tbsv and i think that tar map loads more slowly then in previous version.

Thanks a lot for the menu... really a great thing for SE p1i.
But one question: whenever I click on the backlight button it asks me for internet access? What for does it need to connect to internet when changing backlight?

works great!!

- the new function of keys, 7 and 9 are very good and makes life easier.

sugestion:
- when we try to load a map and TB give us an error, it says "try again"...

... but then, if we don´t want to load another map, and want to go with the same previous default map, we can´t because it keeps expecting we load another map...
...and if you insert another function in "exit" menu, that says "Load default map/atlas" or something like that... or give that function to a key

Hi kruch,

tested this new version on BB8800:

- GPS now came to green after pressing start -without having to go to BB-GPS-Settings menu (which i most times had to in former versions). Did you do some bugfix here or was that by chance?

- TB still sometimes brings up the hourglass for minutes when a new map-tile is loading after i moved the crosshair to a position outside the current tile.
On this reason I wanted to try out "1-tile-scroll" instead and noticed a funny behaviour:
1)if GPS is offline: TB loses its position when switching the atlas layer (scale). e.g. crosshair on a place in Germany in layer 10 -> switched to layer 12 crosshair is over the northsea somewhere near Netherlands.
2)if GPS is online: TB brings up several ( about 6 or 8 ) crosshairs at different positions on the screen while changing the layer.

Without "1-tile-scroll" TB always remembers last position (where either GPS currently points to or -in offline mode- the last position i clicked the trackball before)

Greetings,

[yearling]

Is there any difference in localization file between 0.9.82 and 0.9.83 ?

I tested 0.9.82 in mountains on running ski last week (Nokia 6233) and TB worked GREAT!!! - about 6 hours nonstop every day + taking photos + receiving callings + tracklogs,.... Everything without problems. Printed maps never more
Thanks Kruch

Trying this version on SE G900 with TrekBuddyService 0.4.

The new user interface for touchscreen works fine.

On the first time that I started TB, I could load a non tar-ed atlas fine.
After starting TrekBuddyService, I had tried to load a tar-ed map and it failed.

Now I cannot load any atlas, tar-ed or non tared. When select the folder MAPS, TB give this error: Unsupported format

What happened to the function that change waypoint names pressing "0"?

@MartinZ "TB still sometimes brings up the hourglass for minutes when a new map-tile is loading after i moved the crosshair to a position outside the current tile." I never experienced this; I can test BB version more - was it with normal mapr or tar-ed?

@yearling no changes in localization

@duartemelim fallback to previous map when loading of a new one fails is a good idea, I should have implmented such behaviour long time ago

@shen the only intentional change I'm aware of is that with 7/9 keys you can change active wpt WHEN you are in CMS screen - I hope that is what duartemelim had in mind

@luismsm I'll test your map loading "scenario". And - 0 key does not work??

@kruch: I use a tared atlas with 1024px*1024px-tiles.

This bug of the never ending-hourglass or even crash while scrolling along the atlas made me mad in all the recent versions at least from .79 on.
I am not sure if it really remains with the new .83-version, cause i could not reproduce it this evening before writing this posting... I will tell you when it occurs again.

Definitely reproduceable is the loss of position when changing layers in mode "1-tile-scroll" and the multiple crosshairs if GPS is on and layer is switched in this mode. I can reproduce this at any time.

By the way:
- It would be nice if diagonal scrolling with the trackball would be possible. Yet only up-down / left-right is possible.

- BB asks me if i want to allow trekbuddy to reset the security timer. Should I?

Greets, Martin
