Hello Community,
the AndNav2 UK-Postcode-Database (better to say the freethepostcode.org database) grew by 352 PostCodes (~10%) in just 1 week!  AB12 3BE, AB25 3YF, AL1 5GD, AL1 5UG, AL5 1AJ, AL5 2ET, AL5 2UA, AL4 0QU, B12 0JU, B24 9SH, B46 3AD, B6 5RQ, B66 2DZ, B69 3LD, B70 9QP, B75 7AH, BB1 3H, BB1 3HT, BB1 9BA, BB10 2AP, BB11 5EX, BB2 3DN, BB7 1NS, BB8 9AG, BB9 6EX, BD19 4DJ, BD2 1EY, BB9 6RT, BD1 4AJ, BD23 2Q, BD8 9AA, ... , ZE2 9TJ! Guess that this could be even faster growing if we've had AndNav2 fully public (See the fundraising-bar on the left screen edge.) The updated list is on our server from this second on! Best Regards,
Nicolas

Hello Developers, today I want to introduce the nice and small AndNav-API to you all. With this tiny example you can make any application use the full navigation capabilities of AndNav2 and or AndNav1. This API can be useful for any application, especially all kinds of Piggyback- or FriendFinder-Applications! This is how you do it. Nothing more, nothing less:
// Both(!) AndNav1 and AndNav2 will react!
public static final String ANDNAV_NAV_ACTION = "org.andnav.intent.ACTION_NAV_TO";
// Only AndNav2 will react!
public static final String ANDNAV2_NAV_ACTION = "org.andnav2.intent.ACTION_NAV_TO";
private void sampleNavRequest() {
final Intent navTo = new Intent(ANDNAV2_NAV_ACTION);
// Create a bundle that will transfer the routing-information
final Bundle b = new Bundle();
final ArrayList<String> vias = new ArrayList<String>();
vias.add("50.119539,8.658031"); // "Latitude,Longitude"
// Add as many waypoints as you want here
b.putString("to", "50.133089,8.66729"); // "Latitude,Longitude"
b.putStringArrayList("via", vias);
navTo.putExtras(b);
sendBroadcast(navTo);
}
I think this sample is pretty clear, but please do not hesitate to ask any open questions in the comments  . Note: AndNav2 will contain this interface from the first public release - AndNav1 from the next update! Best Regards,
Nicolas

Hello Community, today I updated AndNav1 on the Android Market. Thsi updated Beta will run at least to Dec. 31st 2008. It also contains Veecheck (by Tom Gibara) the updater-checker also used in AndNav2. Other changes are: - GPS is now queried as soon as AndNav is opened.
- So chance the GPS-receiver provides already 'hot' locations when opening the map-screens is bigger.
- Before the GPS was more likely still 'warming up'.
- A bug with the Contacts was fixed, which caused a 'Force Close'
- 'Last working Route' can now be kept when non was found during route-refetching.
- some more...
Best Regards,
Nicolas

Hello Community,today I implemented a small but for some pretty handy feature. When pressing the Menu-Button in the Screen where you can choose the way you want to search for things, you can pop up a small dialog where you can directly enter the Latitude and Longitude of your destination. This is of course available for Destination, Waypoints and Home-Location. Maybe there are some geeks like me out there, so please let me know if you prefer hexa-decimal coordinates over decimal - or both? - In the comments Best Regards,
Nicolas
