AVEC GPS changelog

Hi Guys,
Here is the AVEC GPS V8 release. I haven't touched it for a while. This one has greatly optimised projection routines for much faster screen rendering. Everything else is untouched and the PSP clock speed is still the default 222MHz.

Both serial GPS and PSP-290 USB GPS versions of the program are updated and included in the zip file.

Cheers, Art.

Hi Guys,This is AVEC GPS V5 release. The AVEC program now has two variations,both of which are included in the release package.The 1.50 kernel mode version still connects to serial GPS devices, and as ofAVEC V5, a new User mode version supports the Sony PSP-290 USB GPS device.There are a fair few other improvements for the V5 release: AVEC V5 (15/09/09) :- Implementation of Deniska's PSP-290 test program routines provides compatibility with the PSP-290.- Added signal strength indicator to user mode version of the program for PSP-290.- Added colour cycling circle around pointer crosshair to make it easier to see.- Improved joystick controlled map rotation feature for track up mode without a GPS device.- Greatly improved the speed of rotation routine for faster drawing in track up display mode.- Improved accuracy of screen position by removing zoom levels that cause float rounding error.This fixed a bug in the find place by name feature where the found place may not have been on the screen.- Fixed bug in screen capture routine. Saved images were horizontaly offset by one pixel.- Improved text entry method for find place by name feature by implementing optional analogue selector.- Fix to projection routines to resolve a problem that caused some lines and polygons to appear squashedtoward the bottom of the screen. This may have added a noticable processing overhead.
