Meaning of the Display Options: Display Mode controls what the compass will look like. Power Saver draws simple graphics for the compass back and needle, dramatically reducing cpu load. The three other options draw the standard compass NSEW background with different needle graphics. You can also set the compass display color. This color will be used for all the on screen elements including text and the NSEW graphics. You can choose one of the supplied values or use a RGB color value of the form AARRGGBB or RRGGBB. PLACE BOOK The place book is a list of lists. The gallery on the screen bottom contains the names of each list. You can add and delete lists using the menu. The items in a list represent places. Each place compacts down to show only the time it was last modified and its distance from the current location (cached and will only update when switching between lists). When expanded, it will reveal its title and picture if they have been set. Items will be added automatically to the targeted, sent and received lists based on user activity. When you select a place, two more menu options present a means to delete or view that place. Viewing a place means vieing it in the Target Compass. RECEIVING A LOCATION If the message body of an SMS message contains a geo url, it will be captured and displayed in a Target Compass automatically. For example, geo:37.44984217102031,-122.12027995021214,1000.0 contained in a message body will suffice. Future Development Audio support of the compass info for visually impaired or pocket use Better interface for sending location messages to others Smoother touch screen operation for the place book Better handling of multiple compass and place book instances Connect places with contacts and media (photos, audio, video) Synch a whole place list/book to another person/device. Do not interrupt in progress call with an arrived location Display richer contact information for received places More options for customizing the display (images, info, layout, etc) Better integration/connection with map views and data Construct a sign post style view for simultaneous display of a set of places Option to set a proximity alert when within some distance of target that a. sends your current location to a list of contacts with a specified message b. targets the next location in the list c. etc. Target overlay for map with needle pointing to next target. Needle only compass display Load entire place list to map or friend Get target from built in map window Send target to phone from google maps on web Place book synch with external system [Less]
