Heya out there!<br>
<br>
First of all thanks for the many positive emails I got over the last<br>
months, motivating me to bring a new release of tangoGPS to the coolest<br>
open hardware gadget on earth - the openmoko phone.<br>
<br>
The new features include:<br>
<br>
* overzoom until level 20<br>
* upscaling of missing tiles<br>
* a map scale indicator<br>
* overhauled "this point" function<br>
- easy measuring of distances and ways<br>
- display of bearing = useful for navigation<br>
* friend function simplified and you can now add a message<br>
to your position<br>
<br>
<br>
As always, it runs well on your laptop/netbook too. The full release<br>
announcement is here:<br>

I am currently looking for cool stories/photos/blog entries for<br>
featuring on the website. Thus send me your stories, pictures or links<br>
- be it on the Freerunner or any other device.<br>
<br>
Have fun!<br>
