Traffic4England Release 1.02

This release addresses a few minor issues with the GPS operation of the program. The program should now exhibit the following behaviour:-
  • When GPS is switched on, an Icon will appear on the program title bar.
  • GPS updates are requested every 3 minutes, if you've moved more than 2km.
  • GPS should only function when the app is visible in the foreground.
If you experience different behaviour you can switch off GPS from within the app, and email support@aquarius-solutions.net. We want to Know! The Actual GPS operation of the program attempts to get a fix about every 3 minutes when the in the foreground. If a fix is retrieved, then the app will attempt to reverse geocode the position, and display the result on the title bar. You will see one of three things on the title bar:-
  1. The geocoded location
  2. The latitude/longitude when reverse geocoding has decided not to give a location (poor 3G signal for example)
  3. The manual address as a result of the forward geocoding of the manual input location
We only display the first line of the geocoding result, so you may see things like "26-38 moor lane" on the title bar.

Note: If you're not in the UK, GPS will not activate ... saves you wasting your battery :-)

Please send feedback to support@aquarius-solutions.net if you experience problems. For the technically minded a stacktrace normally results in a quick fix :-)

Note: early donut users may experience a force close on startup. This will be addressed when I get my 1.6 build environment setup :-)
Thanks.
