xGPS Maps Manager updated

Friday, November 28th, 2008

Due to the recent changes in Google Maps, we have to also release a bug fix version of xGPS Maps manager. Nothing else has changed.

The version 1.1 of xGPS was initially scheduled to be released on the 30th November. However due to the large amount of work there is still to do, we are obliged to postpone the release to, at least, next week (6th December). In this version turn-by-turn directions will be more or less available.

Bug fix release of xGPS Maps Manager

Wednesday, November 12th, 2008

Small post to say that we have released a small bug fix release of xGPS Maps Manager. This version doesn’t improve anything excepting that now it is working with the new Google Maps changes and the zoom levels have been “unified”. The zoom level you see on the left of the window correspond to the zoom level of the current view of the map. If you enter the same number in the text area for the downloaded maps zoom level, it will download the maps at the same zoom level you are seeing. It means that 17 is the most detailed zoom level, and 1 is the less detailed one.

This version also includes all the translations. We have added also the Traditional Chinese translation. Again thank you all for your help.

Maps Problem

Thursday, November 6th, 2008

Due to an update of the Google Maps system this afternoon, all maps download from xGPS Software and from xGPS Maps manager don’t work anymore.

An update will be released shortly when the translations will be finished.

With this post we would like to thank all the proposition we have received for the translations. We picked some people to finish the translations already. Maybe we will contact you in the future if we need more help. Anyway, again thank you for your support!

Translators Wanted!

Wednesday, November 5th, 2008

We are searching for a german translator for our xGPS Software. It consists only in about 15 minutes of work. There are only a few sentences to translate. If you are a native german speaker or if you have the abilities to translate text from English to German, please contact us immediatly. If you want to translate the software into another language, feel free to contact us.

EDIT: We have finally found a german translator. Thank you for your help.

A little word to say that our wish to sell GPS modules produced by Orange Gadgets is for now suspended as they (Orange Gadgets) have to handle all the pre-orders before taking us into account. So if you want a device, it is better for now to order it directly from Orange Gadgets. We remind you that it is also still possible to order cables to connect Holux GPS devices to your iPhone or iPod Touch at the iGPSD store.
