the Beta that ran out are 100% my fault... AndNav1 (on the market) and AndNav2 have been updated! (I hope I didn't make a mistake in this quick fix)
Holidays and family have taken so much time that I forgot that the Betas ran out Also I've been on the road since Wednesday and couldn't check my mails and up a new version.
So... that means I'll work double shifts on AndNav for you in the coming weeks. From Monday on I'll be 100% (ok 200% back for AndNav )
Maybe there will soon be something about ... traffic
the API you, as a developer, can interfere with AndNav2 has been extended. You can now make AndNav2 display a couple of GPS-locations along with a title and a description.
This is what looks like having sent out some locations:
This is how it works:
// Only AndNav2 will react! public static final String ANDNAV2_VIEW_ACTION = "org.andnav2.intent.ACTION_VIEW";
private void sampleLocationRequest() { // Create a bundle that will transfer the location-information final Bundle b = new Bundle();
final ArrayList locations = new ArrayList(); // Add as many locations as you want here
// "Latitude,Longitude;Title;Description" locations.add("50.119539,8.658031;Frankfurt;City Center"); // "Latitude,Longitude;Title;Description" locations.add("50.133089,8.66729;Frankfurt (title is optional);" + "Just an optional description.. put anything here =) !!"); // "Latitude,Longitude;Title" locations.add("50.133089,8.63729;Just a title, no decription"); // "Latitude,Longitude" locations.add("50.124089,8.64729");
// Add the locations to the bungle using "locations" as the key b.putStringArrayList("locations", locations);
// Create and broadcast an Intent that will // start an AndNav-Map with the locations marked final Intent locationIntent = new Intent(ANDNAV2_VIEW_ACTION); locationIntent.putExtras(b); sendBroadcast(locationIntent); }
This will be available from the very next version of AndNav2!
I have put up a new version of AndNav2 containing a couple of new features, that were previously posted here in the news. Its not well tested, but should work the same or better than the previous versions. There for I call it 'bleeding', because it represents the latest development-status and is updated like every or every 2nd day.
the next version of AndNav2 will have an really neat new feature of the drawing-engine. If you zoomed to a specific level and there was no maptile for that zoomlevel downloaded yet, AndNav2 now generates a intermediate maptile from the ones of the above zoomlevel.So the time you are running without Maptile, especially while having Auto-Zoom enabled, is dramatically reduced!
This is how it looks like. (Keep an eye, on the pebbly pixels directly after zooming in):
