Hi!
First of all thanks for that cool programm. I tested the aviliable programms for my PocketPC and figured out it's the best. If you want me for beta-testing let me know.
. VGA Support (PPC 2003 SE or above) -> so that i get nice graphics on my hx47000
. Export to .ov2 format for tomtom. -> So that one can do it, when forgotten at home.
. Support for Pocket Queries in .zip format -> would save some space, even though I'm using a huge SD-card, my gpx-File is usually of 11 MB size
. Bluetooth GPS support + navigation to cache -> I don't know if you should do bt support or general nema support. This feature could replace my glopus. Setting gps-location as centre would be a cool stuff.
. Auto-insertion of a timestamp when creating a new field note
Other features:
An big issue is the performance. Well, as mentioned above I'm having 11 MB gpx-files and there are probably 1500 caches in it. It always takes a little while to load these. I usually try to export smaller files from gsak however I regulary miss some of the caches then. I think the main performance bottleneck are the calculations like distance and wind directions. If I set a new center it takes a while as well. Maybe an option would be setting up a default sort by name and doing the calculating while the file is already accessible. After everthing is loaded the sorting is fast. The use more memory option is enabled and my PPC has 624 MHz.
I'm regulary doing a cache route at home. So I already know my next cache. Due to memory problems I have to close GpxSonar and reopen it when I'm there. Glopus, TomTom, GpxSonar, an GPSProxy are to much for my PPC at the same time.
Internationalisation would be a nice feature to have as well. Even though the programm is simple to use and one should be able to figure out that few labels. I can image that some people won't be able to use this cool programm because of not knowing the English language.
Kind regards
any
