hi,

since version 1.1.x .idx atlas work different than in version 1.0.x (at least with a nokia S40 and a samsung): now, when i select the .idx file as an atlas the program asks for the maps to be tarred (not the whole atlas - with vers 1.0.x they were untarred). If i rename the .idx to .tar, y get the same errors i got with older TB versions (sth about "too many files"... i use really big atlases)

Should i tar map folders, or is it any other mistake i'm making?

I'd be thankful for an answer.

Sorry to tell:

stability problems:

the android 2.1 handy suddenly shows zoomed maps. After a restart of tb the display is correct. changing the map is not enough to correct the problem. Intermediate NullpointerExceptions happen. Zoom at 120% shows wrong routes.

After loading a gpx route with 'show all' it was not possible to hide the route again - there was no menu available for a hide. Loading another route didn't undo the old 'show all'

drawing the current track sometimes didn't show the last points while showing the correct actual position along the track there was a rather long linear line at the end - perhaps ok if there was no real fix, perhaps a sw problem, I don't know... but in earlier versions it didn't behave like this.

Even after Exiting TB the TaskManager shows TB as active! TB requests Internet rights, but no internet access is necessary - the combination of this problem with the rights theme gives a rather bad optics.

...all in all I'll switch to my good old version for the present

Hello,
starting version 1.1.0 I get an error message "java.lang.NullPointerException" after few minutes when GPS is on. When I click Ok, the message appears again and again and I have to kill TrekBuddy...

Do you have any idea how to solve?

My phone is HTC Sensation with Android 4.0.4

1. When I:
- enter value LESS than 100 in Map scaling field
- choose Ok
- after the error alert 'Back' and 'Save'
it works (despite this error alert) which is very useful Smile

2. As some people said, I also think that tracking your friends with 'live' plugins would be a great thing Smile

3. Maybe easyzoom with volume keys could work in Symbian with help of TBService?

Hi Kruch,

At the beginning i would like to send thanks for great software.

And I would like to report bugs that I have at samsung solid b2710 (j2me). I using TB v 1.1.1

1. When loading map created at MOBAC v1.9.7 (and v1.9 too) i have exception:
[3]: eu: Invalid header: '20 20 20 20 34 36 30' at offset 4096

2. I can't edit numeric settings with 12-key keyboard (such as Settings - Desktop - Map Scale) - i can't delete/backspace current value. It is possible for text box (i can hold # and open full-screen editing), but it isn't possible for numeric boxes.

I also want to suggest one improvement - is it possible to implement smoothly map scrolling?

I hope that my information is clear, if isn't let me know by forum/mail.

Regards,

babalu (pawel.babulewicz@gmail.com)

Perhaps suggestion to update installation article on wiki page to save a little time. When installation more times failed - check that the date is correct.

I have tried it on default x/x/2000 date and always got only installation failed.

I upgraded to 1.1.1 on my old BlackBerry Curve and it no longer records GPS location. Pressing start changes the 'dot' from red to blue but does not bring up the 'R' symbol. Additionally the menu does not change to give the 'stop' and 'pause' options that you get when it is recording.

I deleted 1.1.1 and re-installed 1.1.0 and all now works well.

Any thoughts?

First, like many others, this is a great little piece of software, I can go caching with my otherwise useless Nokia 6303i Classic and external GPS and it works fine!

Well, that is with one small niggle that hasn't been fixed by upgrading to 1.1.1. If I open a GPX file and load a waypoint, then go back to open the GPX file again (or another GPX) then most of the time the phone goes blank and re-starts. I can re-start TrekBuddy and get it all back, but it takes time and is a bit of a pain.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Matt

PS just edited to add that I can press '1' and select a different waypoint in the same GPX fine, it's if I go in to select a new GPX file that it crashes. The size of the GPX file doesn't make any difference.
