Feature Requests, Knots Speed unit and Turnpoint files

Eyefly commented 13 years ago

I'm a sailplane pilot and exited about Gaggle. I'd like to request some features:

Please add Knots as a Speed Unit - I would think to be straight forward.
For Turnpoint files can you please add the most commonly used formats for Sailplanes/Gliding Cambridge .dat [the people that invented GPS logging for gliding, and SeeYou .cup format. These are very common on the World Wide Turnpoint exchange.

The .dat file format is explained in the 303 manual found here: http://www.cambridge-aero.com/manuals/303_v2.pdf

Also is there a way to store several turnpoint files in a directory on the SD card and be able to pick which ones to use without having to download each time?

Thanks Chris

I've coded up Knots as a speed unit & allowed for importing Cambridge .dat files.

I'll look at .cup & saving to/importing from the file system when I get a chance.

.cup done

I have just checked in some changes to allow

Downloaded waypoints to be saved to /Gaggle/Waypoints
Users to use a file browser to select a locally saved .wpt, .cup or .dat file to import that file into gaggle.

I think we still should:

Provide menu item in Gaggle for users to import waypoints from local files
Provide menu item in Gaggle to allow users to send the current waypoints list with a choice of >ToFile >ToEmail >ToBluetooth
