Coming in 0.4 – probably sometime this evening – dependent on some bug fix information…
The main new feature is….
BikeSpeedo
dashboard - alternative colour
I wonder if this is actually more useful than just displaying a number…
navmi 0.3
I’m very proud today to release another build into the wild – navmi 0.3.
I’m quite embarrassed by one of the bugs that had snuck previously through testing – a problem with knots and kmh – many apologies for this – and thanks especially to matthieu60 for helping to identify and fix it!
If you spot any problems, please let me know – sooner they are fixed the better.
The main changes in 0.3 are:
- we’ve completely rewritten the mapping engine – that was a long night, but hopefully will result in memory savings, in performance improvements and in quite a few bug fixes.
- we’ve added the direction arrow to the map display (it makes a lot more sense on the map than it does on the details screen – where it is often confused with a compass)
- we’ve changed the default colours (and the default colors too!)
- we’ve modified the speed smoothing algorithm – this looks good so far – but is an ongoing process – we want to find a happy balance between a responsive speedometer and something that doesn’t fly off the scale during short GPS outages.
- we’ve tried to help prevent freezes caused by incorrect GPS settings – let us know if these work at all…
- we’ve tried to put some functionality in to prevent a horrible GPS spike issue we’ve seen once in testing – where a 0,0 lat-lng pair snuck into the processing pipeline. Investigation into this problem still goes on!
We’re hopeful this will be the last release for a few weeks now – as we intend to take navmi off to the slopes for some ski testing [big smile]

More screenshots to follow later (probably!)
Thanks for all the great feedback so far – there’s lots more to come!
Welcome to navmi
Welcome to navmi - a new project in GPS sports tracking.
We’re building on established code, especially on the GPS Cycle Computer from andyzap
So far we’re just working in Windows Mobile – especially targetting the Samsung Omnia II, but more is to come!
Here are some of the screengrabs from our current prototype:
And the current prototype itself can be downloaded from: http://www.navmi.com/0.2/navmi.cab
There’s much more to come – we hope you enjoy the ride!
