Description:
CourseLog, an EWE application that runs under Windows Mobile 2005, WM 6 using your GPS receiver to tell you where you are, how long and how far you go and where you have been.
This version 2 provides a great improvement: it displays your position on a map. You can insert as many maps as your device can handle, provided each one is small enough to be handled in memory. The software uses a concept of calibrated "tiled maps", only a set of tiles is in memory at a time and switching between tiles is automatic.
The software also displays your track on the map and you can set waypoints to check your direction, distance, time to arrival. You can also re-use your track as waypoints and even reverse it so that you can find your way back.
You can use any set of pictures to form your maps as long as you calibrate them. The size of maps is not limited but each image should be in the order of 1000x1000. You can find already calibrated maps at: http://courselog.free.fr/maps or contribute by sending yours. Defining a calibrated map is easy and fast. Please follow the instruction on the web site.
How do you install it?
This application is fully based on the EWE virtual machine (free java for many mobile systems). Look at the http://www.ewesoft.com web site. You must install the ewe runtime on your device before running CourseLog.
For CourseLog application, you have to download the CourseLogV2.exe file in a CourseLogV2 directory you can create on your device and then just click on the exe file.
It will start with default values and display the "options" panel to let you select your serial port, maps directory, track file name, accuracy and units.
That's all!
