Eriadne 1.2.5 - Geotagging, zoming, timebrowsing and more

Eriadne is time by time growing in features mobile side and server side. The new version comes with:

Geotagging and time-browsing
At any point of your path you can add a comment and/or some tags to categorize your Point of Interest or excursion jurnal. As result, when the path is sent to the server, you may find red squared labels indicating that a comment can be read.
A comment may be added with '5' key on your mobile keyboard or clicking with your mobile joystick.
You may review comments or add comments in past points by navigating backwards or forward in the path using '4' and '6' keys, respectively LEFT and RIGHT of the joystick.

Zooming and scaling
Making long excursions we realized that after a while the path became only a pile of red spots and details hidden by automatic zooming.
With '2' or '8' keys or UP and DOWN of the joystick you may zoom into current location and see more details. To give you a way to compare to the reality we added an automatic scale indicator up-left of the screen.

Online Map legend
Information to show on the dynamic map grow more and more, we need to clarify a bit:

• Starting point of the excursion
• Time and coordinates indicator (does not mean the mobile has sent something)
• Last position that the user sent to the server

Up to now it's all folks. Stay tuned, new interesting features coming soon! if you have wishes just share with us !

Eriadne 1.2.3 RC1

Dear Frieds,
We could not let you without a X-Mas present.
Thanks to Paolo Attivissimo we could test Eriadne on a SonyEricsson P1i and fix some user interface problems that made a bit hard to find some buttons (Exit, Send Path, etc).
The new version come also with some bugfix and a big enhancement in reducing the amount of bytes sent over the air when sending a path.

Have a nice excursions!

Eriadne Team wishes you merry X-Mas and Happy 2008

27.11.2007 - Eriadne 1.2.0 (beta)

New version of Eriadne presents some new features:

• Supporting more mobile phones: so far Eriadne was supported mainly by Nokia models, with this new version Eriadne connects directly Bluetooth GPS devices. If your phone does not give the expected results please write a comment on this post including your model and we'll find solution.
• Destination path: it's possible to set target coordinates in CH1903 (maps Swiss) or WGS84 and on the screen will display a green arrow indicating the direction of the destination (compared to the sense of march) and the remaining distance.
• GEOCaching: You can send your position with an SMS directly to another person who has Eriadne, the other person will be able to set it as the destination and reach you with ease.
• Geomagnetic compass: If your GPS device has the geomagnetic compass sensor on the screen will display the north permanently and continuously, even in the absence of the GPS signal.
