New Code Contribution

@MIB.42
I guess that would be absolutely sufficient.
Thanks

MIB.42, I merged your recent changes with some minor edits.. (I did not put in the DMS option on the main menu, since we already desisded on the icons for it, plus I don't think that lots of people would switch their dms display too often)..
I did not have much time to test the merged code today, but at least it compiles :-)

Thanks, will test it. I agree on not adding the DMS option, I may even go further, I don't think it should be in the menu at all, config.txt is plenty enough...

I flew again today and right before taking off I added a quick mod; screenshots at every minute, automatically. I put the resulted png's to a movie later ( jpg conv + ffmpeg ), it's pretty darn good.

I am planning on adding this feature in the next rev if you don't mind, saving jpgs with customizable intervals ( 30sec, 1 min, 5 min and 10min ) those than can be played with a slideshow or made into mpgs...

I'll start on the new menu system...

So are we seeing that the development team is no from one (deniska) to 2 people

Or isn't there an official cooperation ?

Hey Guys...may I make a suggestion?I have no idea how to code and stuff...but maybe you guys can code some kinda tracking utility into mapthis..like..trace the route one is taking on a trip.that way people can actually see the real time progress of their trip...and maybe use their trip info for future use.use maybe a red line on the maps to indicate how far they have progressed on their journey..that would be really great.

There are 2 things you can do now ( well, Ok, one for the present version ) :
- Record the GPS data, than you can play it back later.
- Also, I am in the middle of adding automated snapshots ( 15sec, 30sec, 1 min, 5 min, 10min ), which saves jpg images which than can be put together to a movie with programs like ffmpeg or can be played with slideshow players. I flew to SD and recorded my trip with 1min intervals (70 frames). It's a pretty good movie... ;-) After I finish the coding to get "release ready", I will ask Deniska to make it available. I am working on better line drawing at the moment...

deniska,

see attached graphics.cpp, I (re)wrote the clipping routine for the linedraw functions. Optimized it as far as I could, tested it ... Please have a look. MIB.42_3

Can a feature like ETA be developped ?
Garmin Nüvi devices have it.

It calculates how far it is from your destination, from the speed you drive.

It changes negatively if you slow down, and gets better when you speed up.

For example: Estimated time of arrival: 6 minutes, but if you drive 100 km/h it becomes 4 minutes.

Very good comment. This is a nice feature to be add.
