GPS program.
Features:
- Shows position (latitude, longitude), altitude, speed, course
- Shows satellite positions graphically, including position of sun and moon
- Take or input markers for simple navigation
- Capture, calculate and draw distances, tracks and areas
- Sync Palm's internal clock with the very accurate GPS time
- Supports PalmOS 3.0 and up
- Supports PalmOS 5, including high resolution mode
- Supports HandEra 330 (high resolution, screen resizes)
- Supports all NMEA capable GPS devices, including (but not limited to) Snap-on's, GPS mice, Bluetooth GPS devices and Handspring boards
- Documentation is included in the application, every page and every dialog provides instant help
- Internationalization framework included, german version available
Update Description:
ChangeLog:
- Improved lookup function in marker page, finds all marker that contain the given string somehow (caseless), not just the marker, which names start with that
- Improved beaming, you can now beam tracks to your desktop and use it with cotoGPS Desktop for further processing
- You can as well beam you complete marker database now. Take care not to overwrite an existing database when beaming this to a Palm, it's intended to beam to your desktop!
- Support for OSGB coordinates
- Maximum serial speed increased to 115200 (from 57600). There are GPS receivers out there, that can handle that (in fact, that REQUIRE such a speed)
- By tapping the odometer at GPS page you can enter a start value for milage
- Added second Kirrio workaround, if "Kirrio" serial port doesn't work, please try the second one!
- Hardbutton 4 adds a new Marker and doesn't reset statistics anymore! Use pulldown menu for that.
- New tracks don't popup the rename dialog
- In track manager "Use" immediately returns to last page
- Reconnects to serial port if no data arrive for some seconds, added special button on every page to switch this off, left of the help button
- CARE! ISSUES! Button doesn't look as expected on PalmOS < 3.5 Don't know, how to work around this :-(
- Some devices don't send any data before they get a fix. The Palm switched off after the normal timeout, if getting the fix takes longer. Changed. It will not switch off before it gets any data (and of course while it gets data)
- When you pressed cancel after trying to send a marker or the marker list a reset followed. Fixed.
- Shortened marker name input fields from 20 to 19, this was wrong and only with some luck didn't generate a major misbehaviour, thanks Jason for spotting!
- Support for devices that don't send RMC, trying to get speed and course from VTG
- Fixed crash when maxspeed is set to a small value
- Added "Exit" menu item because some newer devices don't have a separate "home"-softbutton anymore and can't stop cotoGPS from running. Thanks Chris for telling me!
