CamerAware Application / Database 2.070605 released.

[Guest Paul (MVP)]

I'm very proud to announce the immediate availability of a new version of CamerAware, my safety camera alerting software for Windows Mobile Smartphone and Pocket PCs.

A whole host of bug fixes and user features suggestions are included in this version, including (but not limited to!):

Significant Updates:

- This build dramatically improves coexistence with other applications (e.g. TomTom)

- 'Beeps' rather than 'Voice' is now the default installed sound scheme.

- Added 'Full Screen' mode

- Added 'Night' mode, with night skins

- Added support for customisable alert bars in end user skinning

- Simplified Camera Types menu

- Improved menu structure

- Added additional expert options

- Just for fun... 0-60 timer function added

Fixes:

- Rewrote transparency code to fix font redraw glitches and mis-drawn background problem

- Rewrote bring to front / send to back code.

- Improved horizontal alert bar reliability

- Updated power management settings when running but disconnected

Minor Updates:

- Credentials are now checked after entry, before saving

- Updated auto bluetooth logic

- Updated GPS subsystem

- Updated installer code

- Updated to latest version of support libraries

- More menu options are now accessible without disconnecting

Since a MoDaCo CamerAware purchase is a lifetime licence, the new version is available free of charge to all existing users - installation is recommended using the PC based installer. Personal Tracking functionality remains free and a lifetime CamerAware licence continutes to be priced at £19.99 (£9.99 for MoDaCo Plus members) - visit the 'Buying CamerAware' section for more info,

The 'Getting Started Guide' and other online documentation will be updated shortly to reflect the new version, and for the first time a PDF based user guide will also be available.

If you are intererested in reviewing CamerAware for your publication / website, please contact me.

I'd like to take this opportunity to thank the CamerAware Beta testers for their hard work!

Coming up next for CamerAware, a completely revamped UI, a whole host of new feautures and the long awaited CamerAware online presence and tracking pages refresh! :rolleyes:

Morning!

I tried this on the way to work with/without tomtom.

With tomtom running, ca came to the front really well but the alert window was frozen. The speed was still updating though. Ca did not minimise after passing the camera. On passing another camera ca did not give an alert whilst in this frozen state. There were no error messages and flicking back to tomtom allowed the next camera to be detected by ca but the alert window lockup occured again.

Without tomtom running, ca ran seemlessly, as always.

cheers

Hi Paul,

I tried (for the first time in a few weeks) running CA alongside TomTom on my way from Cambridge to Liverpool this morning and to my surprise, the problems encountered on the recent Betas are no more! (My own fault for not realising as this is the first time I've tried it with TomTom since installing the latest Production release...doh). :)

The bring-to-front and send-to-back with TomTom running worked flawlessly - not a single glitch. Perfect timing too considering I'll be piling on the miles in Cornwall in a few weeks with the kids in the back (note to self...buy some earplugs) - holiday time, hoorah! :P

Glad to hear it :)
