MapThis_0488_genericGPS_beta
This version is for generic gps receivers only.
FEATURES:
- new small fonts
- precision warning circles (displayed when hdop value is high enough to produce a significant error at a given zoom setting)
- better routing display - the program should now display routes of up to 5000 points as continious paths at any zoom level. In gps mode the program would automatically reload 400 closest waypoints every 10 minutes. The waypoints plotted and interconnected in the order that they appear in the routing file, so it's not a good idea to mix them with POIs in the same file... It's still possible to display some POIs (speed traps, gas, etc) along the route: the data from _MYPOIS file is loaded together with the route data.
- a few bug fixes
Note, gps data recording is currently off in this release..

MapThis_0489_genericGPS_beta
FEATURES (most done by MIB.42):
- Fixed line rendering bug.
- "Relaxed Search" in ADDRESS GEOLOOKUP ( It is enough to "roughly" specify the name of street etc. and it will offer the closest match )
- Added screenshot to Action Menu
- Map movement speed can be 2x if the left button is being pressed in non-GPS mode
- Added recording to gps.txt if recording enabled
- Modified qsort for map menu to exclude the "== WIFI MAP UPLOAD
- Updated help.txt
- If startup map is specified, initialize GPS measurements properly ( startupmaploaded )
- Added feedback and graceful exit in case no map direcory found ( in readMapListings )
- Minor bug (utils.cpp) and compiler warning fixes
- GPSFS bug fixes: better checking for file pointers; better "empty tile" logic. Should fix the map problem, reported by in7ane
-latest source code attached...

MapThis_0490_genericGPS_beta
Here is yet another beta to offer following features:
- some new graphics curtesy of leaod (this may not be final)
- fix for the bug limiting map dimension to 1024x1024 tiles
You may want to add :
CACHEMAPINDEX=0
to config.txt to disable (or =1 to enable) caching the map tile offsets. enabling it takes out lots of memory but speeds up the tile access, so disable it for maps over 1024x1024 tiles in size...
- option to view configuration file
- ability to "reuse" same !IMAGE=.... tags in routing files, since some people wanted to distinguish between different waypoints...
- some optimizations here and there...
