Working for 1.1.3 or 1.2.0?


While OVI store is constantly offline or not working (thanks Nokia, as usual, i am wandering why i am here and not on Android Market...)...

I am working on 1.1.3 with the updated translations and some better working "pinch zoom" for your enabled devices. Stay tuned...

Meanwhile, i have already added compass calibration support....

OVI Store delays...

Due to some misterious delays in OVI store 1.1.2 will NOT be published on OVI store for many days to come. Unfortunately my certificate has expired and a new one has not been issued YET.

So, thanks Nokia...

meanwhile you can get it from the website www.trackaway.org (supporters please contact me directly)

Track@Way 1.1.2 official release!

I am happy to announce to you all the immediate availability of Track@Way 1.1.2
Features:
- added pinch zoom
- added "center map" button to center the Tracking Table on a map
- Fixed the "lat/lon" is not readable under some themes
- Fixed the GPS start button not readable with some themes
- Fixed moving on the Manual Calibration dialog...
- Added steepness graph and data in track statistics
- Added yellow dotted line to connect the tracking table to the last livepoint
- Improved pixmap management. While this could cause a slight slowdown in map display for Smbian^3 devices, it should also avoid the usual random crashes.
- Improved map calibration. Now for your maps with more than three points, calibrations should be more precise!
Android, Maemo and MeeGo releases (beta for Android) will be released later on this week.


Symbian installation instructions: Symbian install (OVI releases will follow in a few days as usual)
Android installation instructions: How to install on Android
Maemo/Meeo installation instructions: How to install on Maemo and MeeGo (Harmattan)

I have two more great improvements for 1.1.2:
