Speed

Hi,

thanks for the report! The speed value comes directly form your gps unit so I think that probably your gps sends incorrect data to the woophoo client. Some Nokia receivers have this strange behavior.

Do you use an external gps unit? Does it work correctly with other applications? Can you please send the model number of it?

At the time the client does'nt verify the data, altough it is possible to calculate your speed using the distance between your recently measured locations. We will include this alternative speed measuring in the next release if the problem is really in the gps unit.

Thank you for your answer! I am using a royaltek rbt1000 gps and I never met this problem with other applications (mobile trail explorer and nav4all). Although I can't close out that the gps has the bug. thanks again Nikos

Hi,

we will address the problem soon, please check back a little later!

Hi,

we found and probably fixed the issue, it was in the underlying gps library, j4me. The bug is fixed in the current j4me version so it will work in the next woophoo release.

I created a preview release 1.1.0 of the woophoo client because the 1.0 line is not developed anymore, we rewrite the mapping-related code using the Nutiteq mapping library (instead of j2memap). This preview release includes the fix of this issue. The work will be done in a week or so, but the client is working now, you can give it a try. Go to http://woophoo.com/d and select the unstable version. This version is generic so it can have problems with a qwerty keyboard or another unusual feature.

Please continue to give us feedback!

I also discovered the same problem with my nokia bluetooth gps; I'll try the new client, I hope that helps.
