Gedroid Planned Features

December 1st, 2008

After some initial feedback, I’d like to state some of the upcoming features so everyone can know some of what to expect. Primarily, GPX file support. There are a small number of stability issues still needing attention. Also some usability enhancements are needed for obtaining your current location. Accuracy can be a problem with the G1 and I’ve got some ideas that should help.

Some of you have pointed out a rounding issue. Currently Geodroid uses GPS coordinate conversion made possible by the Android API. Unfortunately, it only looks at the first four digits of a decimal degree coordinate (which all points are converted to/from). After some quick calculations, the margin of error this may produce is not very large, perhaps 0 – 13ft, but any accuracy gained with the G1 is helpful.
