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?

Work is progressing...

now i managed successfully to locate and download tiles from open mapquest (based on OSM data). And i discovered that it's time to digg deeper on projections and switch Track@Way to the mercator projection (the same used by online mapping sources).

The other way would be to draw tiles myself and start from OSM raw data, but i dont like this approach for a few reasons:
- difficult to store/merge/draw data in realtime (it's XML for mysake!)
- will not be compatible with google maps, bing or other closed source data providers

So, this is the overall idea now is to switch to a real projection (mercator) on the tracking table. Still i have to understand what this means in terms of coding and what should i do with maps which are not in mercator... how to i "change" them?

New MapsManager!

I have updated the MapsManager. It has a nice new layout which make it easier to use.
As a bonus, the map loading now is done asyncronously so you can keep using Track@Way while you load your maps!

Supporters will receive an update sometime between next week or so... But it's to be considered beta!

News...

While i am waiting a little bit more testing on 1.2.6 before releasing...

i started development of the future 2.0 release! At the moment, i am rewriting the maps manager.
The aim is to make it more intuitive and easy to use and add "remote" (= internet based, like OSM) maps!

Stay tuned..

Finally a proper release for N9...

Ok, 1.2.6 will see finally a fixed and working Nokia N9 (Harmattan) release! Thanks to a nice N9 user who is testing at the moment...

Android release is lagging a bit, due to some annoying issues in debugging... but i hope to fix it soon!

Track@Way 1.2.6 on the way...

This release should bring a few fixes:
- UTM display fixed
- Improved keyboard management on N9
- Reworked file dialog for a better access (moved some controls to top)
- Reworked items on Tracking Table: now using a layout for proper placement
- New Android build, to make use of latest and better Necessitas... (still not published on Android Market)

A few more days will be required, first i need feedback from N9 users, then i still need to finalize the Android build...
