Trekbuddy is a J2ME application to be used with a GPS receiver. It is designed to work with every Java-enabled device.
[Only registered and activated users can see links]
It features capabilities such as
GPS tracking and simple navigation
bitmap maps (without zoom, you can store bitmap maps with different resolution instead)
arrange maps as atlas for increasing and decreasing resolution
trackloging in NMEA or GPX format
compas screen (HPS)
cockpit screen (CMS)
location sharing via SMS with other trekbuddies
and more.
It supports most commonly used map projections and grids, such as
Latitude/Longitude
Mercator
Transverse Mercator
Universal Transverse Mercator
Swedish Grid
British National Grid
Irish Grid
Swiss Grid
Lambert France I-IV
as well as custom datums.
As a location source
bluetooth or serial port GPS
internal (integrated) GPS
NMEA file
O2 Germany network
may be used.
Changed 2008-06-09:
* Trail line setup - fixed for JP-7 finally; this (CustomItem) is probably the most buggy feature of all implementation I could test it on. [Only registered and activated users can see links]
OK - on SE phones, the item is the first in Settings->Desktop (and you should used non-gaming key - like key 3 etc - to change the mode between color and thickness setup), on others it is the last. On qwerty Blackberries, use ALT+trackball and ALT+numbers.
* fix an old bug in the "event dispatcher", and it had "avalanche effect" (hence the delay with 0.9.79), so - you may now notice a dialog shortly appearing when starting/stopping tracking (it is a hack but helps, hope to come up with better solution soon); maybe Stop will now work Motorolas; maybe TB will now "conflict" with powersaving on SE phones in a different way; maybe you will notice subtle differences elsewhere...
* keylock confirmation dialog appears after you release the * key, but TB should vibrate once the key lock/unclock gets effective
* also backlight confirmation dialog appears after key 3 is released
* added {wpt-alt-diff}
* added support for playing custom sound files for a wpt - use <link href="my_sounds_eg_follow_the_white_rabbit.amr"/> inside <wpt> element - I'm looking forward for a tool I'll be able to plan a bike trip with voice navigation with... [Only registered and activated users can see links]
* localization - resource files will be in wiki ([Only registered and activated users can see links])
** for translators **
- 3 new entries since beta - IDs: 1386, 1387, 3516; the en_US.txt is available here ([Only registered and activated users can see links])
- please upload .res files directly to wiki ([Only registered and activated users can see links]), it should work now; or if you have better idea, write about it
BACKUP the BETA first! [Only registered and activated users can see links]
