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:

ChangeLog

NaviMapper:

• New: Retain selected map directory
• Change: Create valid nmap file even if max 5% of tiles could not be downloaded.  (Previously a single missing tile caused the nmap file to be invalid)

• Fix: Ask before overwriting an already existing nmap file with same filename
