A new release with again lots of improvements. Major new feature is track logging. You can switch logging on and off and split logfiles with a single click - very helpful i.e. for mapping for Openstreetmap, or geocoding photos. A script is available to convert the track log into GPX format for further processing.
.
Furthermore our non-metric friends will be happy to hear that you can switch to miles as display units.
.
Altitude gets finally displayed - this was a bug in libgpsd which I have subsituted with my own code. Thus no more dependency during runtime. The desktop binary runs now on more distributions out of the box.
.
More robustness in the code, some crashers removed (when creating new repositories, during tile download)
.
Bigger buttons for easier finger use, some more UI and code clean up.
.
Note: the .ipk package name changed from tangoGPS to tangogps. If you have a prior version installed, then remove it with "ipkg remove tangoGPS".
.
Update:
You need to have flashed a fairly recent image, otherwise you will have some missing dependencies - notably pango and libcrypt. I will set up a package repository somewhen the next days so that if an ipkg upgrade does not install them, you can get them from tangogps.org. It is known to work with:
uImage-2.6.24+svnr4194-r4165-r3-neo1973.bin
