Great application, that's for sure
some needed features:
-switch to have light still on or auto;
-one screen with very big digits on it, kind of display like bicycle or car computer. This screen could have eq 2-4 selected fields for data on it, like speed and distance, or pair (or two pairs) of any other usefull data that GPSWatch already has. This will be usefull when it is difficult to see extremely small text on shaking phone attached 2 feet from eyes. Big data lines could have their names very small.
needed advancements:
better usage of memory card's great capacity for storing as many maps as we may need, in case of roaming and really high bills for GPRS. Some kind of software trick to have indexed group of tiles to be accessed only if needed instead of too big files for java or memory.

Hi,
Thanks for writing to us.
Java capability doesnt let us have the lights on continuously.
We are planning to have color selection for foreground and background which might help in increasing the visibility of the text.
We are not able to maximize the card usage because of the file access prompts issue, once we get over that by coming up with some sort of application signing, we will consider this.
Thanks,

found something that might help with the backlight:
Solution for backlight control on newer SE phones:I'm just writing another application myself, and I've found if you regularly call flashLights(1) then the backlight stays on permanently.
eg. private com.nokia.mid.ui.DeviceControl deviceControl;
In paint event for my canvas (which is called every few seconds to update a clock) I have:
deviceControl.flashLights(1);
The backlight then stays on. There seems to be no flashing of the display, it just stays on.
To turn the backlight off immediately:
deviceControl.setLights(0, 0);

Hi Admin,
on the Simens SXG75 the default JAva-GPS Navigation Software (Mobile Navigator MN2200 form VDO Dayton) also allows to have the light permanently on.
Could this be an issue depending on the platform?
I'd appreciate a "lights on" feature as well!
Thxs.

Thanks for your effort to find the solution.
We have managed to find the workaround which works across all phones. You can see it in the next release which is scheduled before 11/12/2006. That will provide support to a new service - www.trackut.com

Hi, Working on switching the
Hi,
Working on switching the lights on/off is straightforward while coding native language code/symbian code. But with j2me apps, the feature needs to be exposed by the JVM on the phone, which currently doesnt support it.
If you find some j2me app that does this, please let us know @ support@i10n.com
