Re: tangogps + geocaching (DL-link inside)

2009-05-28 Thread Bep Verberk
I'm assuming Marcus is quite busy. I emailed him 3 time about my
proposed changes to persist trip data and increase the number of trips
handled and got no replies. I'm gaining familiarity with his code but
I'm sure what I've done could use some polishing based on feedback
from Marcus.

At this point I have no idea if Marcus is willing to entertain these
types of contributions at all, is willing to hand off development of
TangoGPS to others, or just needs some time. I'd love to have his
opinions.

tangogps0.9.6 - mod: persists trip data, adds multiple trips

2009-05-27 Thread Bep Verberk
This is a mod for  tangogps. It

1) persists the Trip data, and

2) adds multiple independent trips (5).

I use tangogps on my neo for an odometer in my old car. I wanted to
have a separate trip settings for oil changes, and, since the fuel
gauge doesn't work,  for petrol  fill-ups.

The changes are made to tangogps-0.9.6

Here is a src patch
http://verdebreuk.googlecode.com/files/tangogps.0.9.6mt_0.2.patch

and here is a complete openmoko package binary
http://verdebreuk.googlecode.com/files/tangogps-0.9.6mt_0.2_armv4t.ipk


A few usability notes:

Without this update tangogps starts the trip counter by default. With
this mod there are now 5 separate trip counters - all are OFF by
default.

Cycle through the separate trip counters using a new NEXT button.

When you first start up tangogps, cycle through the trip counters and
turn on the ones you want running for your current trip.

Starting, Stopping, and Reseting a trip counter works the same as
before with the caveat that the operation only affects the trip
counter currently displayed on the screen.

I hope someone else may find my changes useful.
cheers
Bep
