After some time here is a new release.

The most important change is the new GPS Compass display. A nice needle compass will point to north and show the heading of your actual movement in degrees.

Please note that the compass is based on GPS information, so it will only work when GPS is fixed and you are moving.

You can download the new version from the downloads page.

ChangeLog:

NaviMapper:

• Fix: OpenPisteMap map source

NaviComputer:

• New: GPS Compass
• New: Possibility to switch between GPX, Maps and Bookmarks lists by tapping the arrows (without sliding)
• Fix: Possible crash when deleting a gpx file

Hello,

finally the updated NaviComputer Samsung Omnia II Special Edition is available on the Samsung Application Store.

(NaviComputer at SamsungApps.com)

It is now based on the latest Version 0.93 and has an graphically improved magnetic compass visualization.

(NaviComputer Samsung Omnia 2 Edition)

Please understand that I have to ask for a small fee at Samsung App Store. The reason is that it is not allowed to encourage donations at Samsung App Store. Owners of an Omnia II who already donated will of course get the Samsung version for free. Just send me a short email.

If you can't use the Samsung App Store or Kies, simply donate a few bucks via Paypal and add a remark about the Samsung Edition. I will send you the application via email then.

The main purpose of version 0.93 is fixing the issue with the OpenStreetMap map source.

But there are also some small new things included: By tapping on a POI marker on the map, the name of the POI will be shown on the map. Your current distance and bearing to the POI will be displayed in the top bar.

By tapping the topbar, it is possible to switch between different display modes (Altitude/Speed –> Location(Lat/Lng) –> POI distance/bearing)

In addition to version 0.90, this release adds support for square screen devices, adds user interface translations to Spanish, French and Italian and fixes bugs found in 0.90.

Here is the changelog:

• New: Square Screen support
• New: Spanish translation (Thanks to Iñigo)
• New: French translation (Thanks to Paul)
• New: Italian translation (Thanks to Giovanni)
• New: Possibility to toggle gps on/off by tapping the right corner in the topbar.
• Fix: Wrong location when adding POI while 2xZoom is enabled
• Fix: Importing some gpx files / waypoints failed

Download version 0.91 from the download page

NOTE: If you are upgrading from previous versions and have modified your "MapSources.xml" file, make sure to have a backup since the installation will overwrite the file. However, bookmarks, maps and GPX files will NOT be overwritten or deleted.

Finally it's done. The long awaited version 0.9 is online and can be downloaded on the Download page.

This is the basis version with new features which will be extended and improved in the following 0.9X branch.

It contains the basis of Waypoints/POI handling, extended GPX support and Map managing. Additionally, several things have been improved to simplify everyday use. The changelog is pretty long and if I listed up the internal changes it would be even longer. With this version as a basis I hope I will be able to release next versions in the 0.9 branch (0.91, 0.92, …) more frequently.

Below is  a short introduction video and the ChangeLog:
