Track@Way 1.2.7 and 2.0

I will probably be releasing Track@Way 1.2.7 sometime next week with updated spanish translation and some map fixes.

At the same time, most of my time goes on 2.0 which is growing very well, albeit so much more complex :)

Updates...

It's time i give you some updates, which are good.

Track@Way 2.0 is coming up quite nice. At the moment, all the map stuff (raster maps and remote OpenStreetMaps) are working properly.

At the moment i am working at rewriting the entire tracks / livetrack stuff. It's coming up nicely but it will require somemore time to be ready.

You will be able to import tracks from GPX files and from gobreadcrumbs (plus any other formats and sources, as the new code allows it with not toomuch effort)... Also, LiveTrack will be more integrated with tracks.

You will be able to edit waypoints, and to export stored tracks in GPX (and other formats, in the future too).

Expect a first BETA by the end of march. Some alpha's before that too, i guess :)

Good news in sight...

Well, finally i managed to get also the raster maps to works fairly well.
Still, there are some issues and problems, specially with blocks of the map which disappers, but there are no more "issues" which prevents Track@Way 2.0 to happen sometime not too far.

I need to "fix" some raster maps issues, then implement the new tracks drawing (which will be way faster than before, and much more responsive for huge tracks), then the first "alpha" will be released! I don't know if i will make it before the end of february, but i am trying hard to match the date!

So stay tuned :)

Yesterday i have finally released Track@Way 1.2.6 for Symbian... It includes fixes for the UTM visualization bug.

Not much to say, except that i should probably release a 1.2.7 soon fixing (again!) the borked maps on some situations...

Work on 2.0 is proceeding, but due to high work commitments at a slower pace for a few days...

Status update...

Work on Track@Way 2.0 is progressing at a good pace.
I am heavily rewriting a lot of code, so this is taking a bit longer than expected. But, in return, expect a lot of improvements.

At the moment, the OpenStreetMap downloading and displaying works great, and the new table ptojrction is also working great. At the moment i am reordering and fixing the calibration import code, adding more formats, and the raster maps display...

Hard working...

Hi all!
i have good news for you. Work on 2.0 is proceeding. I have rewritten completely the TrackingTable... Now proper map projection is supported!
The TrackingTable will show everything projected using the Google Map projection,which is a mercator-like projection. I chose this because most of us is used to Google Maps, so most of the people will feel ok with Track@Way too.

I have also the remote map fetcher code working... You can now see maps from Open Street Map (using open Map Quest tiles)!

Next is to work on adapting local raster maps to the new projection, rewrite the tracks manager to creare a database of tracks like the storage of maps, and then some kind of first alpha release of 2.0 will be available. I expect this to happen no sooner than the end of february.... but who knows?
