[APP][06/01/2010]hdSpeedo - v0.7.1

[MrRalphMan]

Hi,

Here is the next release of hdSpeedo.

It has been tested on a HTC Touch HD and Diamond, but should work on any WM device with a GPS feed.

New Features

• Addition of Speed Camera Warnings
• Minimising of the app on incoming phone call

Planned Features

• Looking at making the application skinnable

Bug Tracking

• Inaccurate function of "btn TXT" button - Sorted

Please see attached file for full version history.

There are two buttons on the speedo page, one will log your current position, the other will start logging your track.

These write to KML files which you can load into Google Earth as below.



Please bear in mind that I have written this for my own use and am quite happy to put this out for others to use. I will take on board suggestions, but will continue to develop this at my own pace.

Many Thanks,

Paul Ryder.

Thanks for you application.
I see the bars on the top left corner. Is it GPS signal status ? If so, why the bars is still there when I stop GPS ?

[MrRalphMan]

Bug Tracking.

1) - GPS Signal bars stay after GPS is stopped.
Outstanding

Ah, that would be a bug..
Cheers, have added it to bug tracker and will resolve it shortly.

Great little application. Thank you.

A suggestion, perhaps an adjustable speed warning. IE change screen colour when over a set top speed. (or even stages of screen colour changes ie at 30/50/80 etc)

Thanks again

I noticed the name of your app "GPS Speedo" but some one already has that name for there GPS app over @ http://www.tchartdev.com/

So it'll get confusing to know whats what between the two.

Hi Ralph,

Tried your application yesterday and today and seems to be working fine. Speed shows nicely, AVG seems to be correct.

Some pointers you might wanna consider;
1- The font could be more clear. The "greyed" lines are a bit too visible I think
2- Are the gps records logged? You could integrate this into some kind of export. For people (like myself) who drive the same route to work every day, it would be fun to see some statistics..
3- Max. speed warning (no sound effects, please )

If I come up with something else, ill let you know. Thanks for the nice app!

1 - Still not decided on the font yet, I like the matrix style, but was going for the grid behind it. I might just remove that.
2 - They are not logged yet, I just need to know how people want it logged?

• Raw nmea sentences
• KML files to use in Google Earth
• Or another way

3 - I though of this, how would you like it. Single speed or stepped as suggested before?

I am also going to provide logging for the trip, times/distance/(ave/max) speed etc

Cheers,

Paul.
