I finally had a chance to try the new "Save current Location" and "Load a Location", and it's really fun!
I had a couple more ideas:
- When I am less than a mile away, GPSLogger shows that I am "4285 feet" away from my target location, for example. I think it would be easier to understand distance in feet for anything less than, perhaps, 1000 feet. Anything greater than 1000 feet would be easier to understand in miles (ex. 0.81 miles for the above example).
- Is there a way to edit a Location? For example, if I misspelled "geocache near the mall" when I first saved the location, I can't change any Location info, especially if I am no longer near the original location. (Sounds like a stupid example, and I'm sure someone else can come up with a better example)
- Is there a way to export a Location? Perhaps as a GPX and/or KML (Google Earth) point?
- When my BlackBerry Storm is horizontal (ie. landscape view), the text of the directions (ex. "10ft 180º S") overlaps the image of the compass. I'm not sure if the compass should be smaller in landscape view?
- I'm not sure if you've seen the competition, but there's an iPhone app for geocaching that's very similar to what you've come up with for "View: Direction". Looks like it has just a little more information displayed on its screen. Would this be useful or easy to add?
Looks like the only difference between this and GPSLogger is that it displays the target location's GPS location on the same screen, and the current location's GPS coordinates are more prominent.
- The Trimble Geocache Navigator also has a very simple Radar screen that shows the relative location between you and your target location. Looks like the target location is always in the center of the screen, and your location is shown relative to the target. Is this easy to make, too?
Just a few ideas. You've really built GPSLogger into a HUGE BlackBerry app!
Edit: - just one more idea. Is there a way to manually add a new location (ex. the GPS coordinates for a new location)?
