FreeTrack 1.3.0 alpha3 is ready!

People,
i am proud to announce FreeTrack 1.3.0 alpha3! This pre-release of FreeTrack 1.3.0 offers you HUGE maps support, actually working!

While there might be some improvements, right now you can load up maps up to 64k x 64k pixels (tested up to 11k x 13k pixels so far). The limitation is that the map MUST be a jpeg file.

This works by "precaching" the map in smaller chunks and using those to speed up drawing when needed. So you actually need to sacrify some SD space.

It seems to be working pretty well on my Nokia 5800XM, please report your mileage on the website o on the mailinglist.

ps: you can download this alpha from FreeTrack website

As for the immediate roadmap, i hope within next week to be able to add the following features:
- ability to add "waypoints" to the current Live Track with a simple button press
- ability to import calibration data from OZI explorer

The release of a "beta" 1.3.0 with those three features will be my Christmas gift to you all... i hope!
