We finally get a more or less usable version of our xGPS software (we are late of 2 hours, yes
.
Before wanting to try the software, please make sure to understand the following sentences:
The current version of the software (1.0.0-1) is the first public alpha version. It means that not all the features are implemented and a lot of known bugs are present. You are entirely responsible to use this software.
The current version does not implement the driving directions or the possibility to search for a city. It will be implemented in the near future. The current version has also a problem with the detection of the xGPS module. Sometimes the button “Enable GPS / Disable GPS” disappear even if the xGPS module is connected. If you get that, you can relaunch the software if you want.
To download maps for using it offline, you can tap on Settings and then manage maps. Then you can select an area of the map and tap download to download it. Yes, we know that it is difficult to select an area without pushing the zoom buttons. It is being corrected
.
This version is just here for testing purpose and it is in either cases not supported. We will not answer to any question if the software doesn’t work.
The xGPS software is only compatible on firmware 2.0 and greater (2.0.1 and 2.02 etc…) and works only with xGPS Modules (you can also use it without a GPS).
To install it, add the following repository to Cydia (if you don’t know how to do it, just read the quick start guide of xGPS module again):
Then browse the Navigation category and select xGPS.
Concerning the shipment of the xGPS modules, we have still a little delay. We hope to finish to send all the orders by the end of the week.
Thank you for your interest in our project.
