@qw12
Your file is created by GPS Tuner as GPX 1.1 with some extensions.

EDIT: Are you sure that working route is the same ?
I see another wpt names on yours pictures.

@Kruch
Can you parse such files ? No info about it.

@krzysiekz,Ranger: thanks for bug report

@guest: xml declaration is wrong in jugablager.gpx (did you modify it by hand?) - ? mark is missing at the end of the first line - it should end with encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>. When I fixed it, I could load it without removing those western charset chars.

@qw12: wpt was never at the beginning of the underline, but shifted by 3 pixels iirc; anyway, when I saw your map I understood why previous version was better for you . We need more configurable route visualisation

1. What about navigation on gpx trackpoints ? Like backtracking ?
2. Can we have "navigation store" on key 1 like
- Wpts
- Tracks
- Routes
and ergonomy like - first select set of:
- points from wpts file {wpt} or
- points from track {trk,trkp} or
- points from route {rte, rtep}
and next navigate using loaded (active) set ?
Selecting next set changes active one, etc.
It can be a little bit more comfortable to use, probably not only for me

[kruch]

1- you think it would be useful?

2- have routes and wpts separated? could be...
- ergonomy: do you mean having a shortcut for current navigation "source" (set of wpts, or route, or) in the main menu? Or multiple set??

[Ranger]

1. Yes, I think.
Peoples just can exchange recorded tracks (not raw) as trip plan with others, without using additional tools.
Backtracking is usefull for trips without plan, in some difficult conditions, for night trips, etc
2. Routes, tracks, wpts. You can just show tracks-gpx as tracks-store.
Now I use leading character in names to know what I'm loading ie R-xxx.gpx for routes. Few stores means shorter lists.
The best way I think is to use menu in list
Store (or Source) in current
and submenus like
- Wpts
-
etc. For navigation one such object can be selected. A lot of apps uses this way.

One more about routing ergonomy. Route (or set of wpts, track) should be loaded with first point active by default. Typical scenario is
- load route
- see on map where you are, what is route order and then
- choose routing mode (forward or back-means start point is last) or select nearest point number as active for routing if you would.

Could you allow to browse for routes and wpts like for maps? On a SXG75 maps can be stored on places visible with the browser, but the subdirectory for wpts can only be accessed via USB cable. It would be nice if routes and wpts could be exchanged via bluetooth.

I found that after use of TB, sms and call signal are very quiet (i have all sound set to maximum volume by default). When i turn off phone and turn it back all return to normal. It happens since tb has amr support for wpt sounds.

Hi,

1st: GREAT TOOL GUYS!


my feedback for the last version (0.9.57):

I'm using trekbuddy on a 6110 navigator and had some problems with the permission of reading & writing userdata. -> in 0.9.56 it allready worked to set program-rights to "ask the 1st time"

in 0.9.57 beta this does not work anymore .... ("ask every time" is the best to choose ...)

[kruch]

Hmm. I removed Thawte root certificate from JAD, maybe this is the cause... I'll put it back.

[tintifax]

Hi,

thx! it works (again)

you're the best!


if you need support for testing on different devices let me know ...

[krzysiekz]

Route back now works, but only one wpt is shown (the one i selected when used 'route back'). When select 'route along' all route points are shown.

There is error in {time} when using nmea log:
1. Start simulation using nmea log
2. Stop simulation
3. Start simulation using different nmea log and look at time on map screen/cms

{time} should be reseted every time any provider is started.
{time-t}, {spd-avg}, {spd-max}, {dist-t} should be user-resetable.

I think second counter like {dist-t} could be added to count distance between ex. wpts (can be started/stopped/reseted by user anytime without changing other values).

As I see new beta version is in state of some rebuids, it's OK ?
- no app icon
- no custom sounds for route
- "no sounds" in Settings doesn't control sounds etc.

But with last changes TB is visibly faster. SPAM
