SatNav 2.56

SatNav has been updated to version 2.56 and now uses USB connected GPS devices in preference to OS_SerialOp only whilst one is plugged in. It therefore works on a ‘plug and play’ basis allowing the GPS unit to be unplugged and plugged in again (which changes its enumeration) without raising an error. Most cheap GPS devices on Amazon should work. 9600baud is assumed.

Tested on a Pinebook Pro, it allows the device to be unplugged and plugged in again and SatNav continues working with no error, getting a GPS fix and calling on RiscOSM (if present, whether running or not so long as it has been ‘seen’ by the filer) to draw a map.

Available from !Store or from my web site.

SatNav has been updated to version 2.60 to recognise that it is now much more likely than before to be running with a full monitor display as it now no longer depends on custom hardware.

A menu option has been added to export archived journey logs from the last few days into a filer window or an application such as RiscOSM (without having to open SatNav’s application directory and look inside). The menu does not depend on use of the MENU button nor on keyboard input so as to make it easily usable with a touchscreen.

Each time SatNav starts up it archives previous journey logs and starts a fresh current journey log.
