[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] low.flying.pigs:
Hello Hello Blaustein / Klaus,

I have some observations regarding existing functionality of GCC 4.11 beta 2 running on Widows Mobile 6.5.3 for your consideration and comment, which may perhaps be addressed as applicable in future versions.

Attached is a passworded .zip containing a .gcc file as per below and some captured GpsCycleComputer.log files if they are useful. I have just started to observe the message when exiting GCC "Attention There is a remarkable number of error messages in [insert directory structure \filename.log]". This seems to have coincided with just begining to explore the Track 2 Follow feature, which I plan to use for a coast to coast ride I am considering taking part in. I expect to have more feedback on this feature when I begin using it more fully. The password has been sent to you by private message. If you require anything further let me know.

Main Screen:

- Clock displays only in 24 hour format, regardless if Windows Mobile settings are 12 hour format. (last sample in Info section does change accordingly)

- Facility for deriving heading in GPS section from internal phone sensor if available. (Allows for 'direction facing' being displayed when stationary. Three possible options, existing arrangement, GPS + sensor when stationory, and sensor only)

Menu Options Main Screen:

- Facility for miles / mph / m option to allow altitude to be displayed in metres whilst using miles for distance and mph for speed.

- Option 'keep touch on while backlight off' has no effect. The hardware power button must still be pressed to reactivate. This is unchanged regardless of settings in Windows Mobile > Settings > Sound & Display > Backlight

Map Screen:

- Option for map scale, text and coordinates repositioning.

- Facility for pinch zoom. If in use, zoom buttons can be removed making space for display of other information (main screen / menu button retained).

- Facility for auto reset map (GPS/last) back to current position and previous zoom level after preset period of time following discontinuation of manual map browsing.

File/Export:

- Facility for summary as per Track to Follow when loading file to aid with selection of correct file.

Altitude and Speed:

- Option for line colour, infil, and background to be set.

- Facility for zooming / expanding graphs (graphs for long rides are difficult to view).

- Display units according to preference set in options, not km and m regardless.

Track to Follow:

- Potential bug with large .gcc as a track to follow (as attached) (possibly an issue with the number of points?)

Displays correctly on map when loaded as a log. Displays incorrect on map when loaded as a track to follow.

Track to Follow - Summary displayed when selecting Track:

- Display units according to preference set in options, not km and m regardless.

- Option to cancel selection if incorrect (currently only option is OK).

Track to Follow - Navigation arrow only screen:

- Option for text colour to be set independently of map track colour.

- Option for navigaiton arrow colour to be set.

Track to Follow - Navigation map screen:

- Option for navigation arrow size to be set.

- Option for navigation arrow repositioning.

- Option for navigaiton arrow colour to be set.

- Option for navigation text repositioning (obscures other text currently at top of screen)

- Option for navigaiton text colour to be set.

- Option for audio waypoint text colour to be set.

- Option for audio waypoint text background to be set as a colour or transparent showing underlying map.

- Automatic map zoom in when turning point reached, and back out afterwards, to user preset levels.

- Automatic switch on screen (if off) when action required (if possible).

- Access Track to Follow Navigation arrow only screen by tap on navigation arrow instead of button, and relace with main screen button. Allows both to be reached with single tap.

Sound - Some sounds are not heard.

- Beep on start/stop and beep on GPS Fix in context menus on main screen, Play Voice Test on T2F navigation arrow only screen, and general voice navigation commands are not heard. For audio way points, when creating one, a sound is heard when pressing record, stop, and play, and the the recorded audio way point can be heard when pressing play. However, whilst the audio way point is shown on the map when the log is loaded as a T2F, I am unsure how this should play back when on the map. It cannot be heard if tapped or double tapped on the map. I am unsure what, if any, other sounds GCC is intended to make hence their not being mentioned.

General Observation:

Very occasionally I have been unable to access the menu from main screen by long press and hold or double tap on the map button when GPS is on. When this occurs, other GCC features remain working and responsive, as do other apps (the circumstances in which this occurs have not been determined, further testing is required to narrow this down).
