AVEC GPS v4 Released
If you’re still not content with the last update of AVEC GPS (the third installment) well, here is something that can start your day right. Homebrew coder Art just released his latest version of AVEC GPS (fourth version) that can “track up” display mode. Above is a video posted in YouTube on how this amazing homebrew app works.
Here are the changes for this version:
- Lines for roads increase in thickness at the two highest zoom levels for street maps.
- Some improvement to map edge detection routine to accommodate large base maps of entire continents.
- Fixed bug causing two images to be saved for every frame when save frames option is enabled.
- Zoom level is auto set to high when GPS mode is enabled, but can still be adjusted.
- GPS parser runs in separate thread so GPS mode is faster, and buttons are responsive in GPS mode.
- Changed altitude field to speed (kilometers per hour) in GPS information bar.
- Intro screen is only shown once on first use, then program starts in the file browser screen.
- Serial port can be restarted if plug is pulled out in GPS mode by turning GPS mode off and on again.
- Fixed option to show points of interest in GPS mode. This option was present in V3, but did not work.
- Fixed config loader to prevent program starting in GPS mode, even if saved in configuration menu. Starting in GPS mode caused a problem. This issue may be resolved later to allow starting in GPS mode.
- Implemented a track up display option in GPS mode so map appears to move in the direction of the vehicle.
- Implemented map rotation mode using the analogue joystick to rotate the map when GPS mode is off.
- Implemented image sequence player for playback of previously captured image sequences.
- Added show grid and canvas size options to configuration menu.
- Various other improvements.
