TransitQ v1.5.0 - HotSync issue addressed

mcampos — Mon, 30 Nov 2009 17:26:12 +0000

Some users who downloaded v1.5.0 before 8am 11/30/09 experienced a problem with HotSync failing to install the v1.5.0 application. I’ve fixed this issue and updated the application available for download.

So if you are experiencing this problem please take a moment and re-download the application and try again.

TransitQ v1.4.0: GPS Tracker; Enhanced Accuracy

mcampos — Mon, 14 Sep 2009 05:13:45 +0000

Hi Folks,

A new release!

Notes

To accommodate [0043], the schedule database format had to be updated. Old schedule databases will not work with this release, and new schedule databases will not work on older releases.

New Features

[0045] Tracking mode now has GPS support. Click “Track” and then you’ll see a new “GPS” button. Once enabled, the GPS will be connected and the schedule will be updated as you pass stops.
[0046] The GPS “twiddler” (the little “o” that tells you that the GPS is actually receiving data) now displays more helpful icons. “x” is displayed when the GPS is off. A flashing “?” is displayed as data is received but there is no fix. “o” is used when a fix is present and data is being received.
[0043] Times are now managed internally with to-the-second accuracy. This should make the stop times a little more accurate.

Fixes

[0044] In the stop finder screen (with stop list edit mode off) and trip follow screen (with tracking off), the entire width of the screen is now used to display stop names.

¡New Release Soon!

mcampos — Sun, 13 Sep 2009 08:20:10 +0000

Well - I was hoping to have a new release out tonight with new schedule data, but unfortunately I discovered some nasty bugs at the last minute.

So stay tuned! Hopefully I’ll have a release out in the next day or two.

TransitQ v1.3.0: Tracker Mode

mcampos — Sun, 26 Jul 2009 07:27:32 +0000

A new release today! This is largely intended to get “follow mode” into being a non-beta feature. I’ve added the oft requested “OK” button, as well as a tracking feature.

The tracking feature allows you to have a homemade pseudo-transit tracker. Basically the idea is that if you’re on a bus watching the stops fly by, you should be able to predict what time you’ll arrive at your destination.

To use the tracking mode you go to the trip follow screen (i.e. select a bus arrival at a specific stop - so you’re viewing a specific bus trip’s arrival times at all of its stops), then click “Track”. As you go by a stop, you can click the diamond next to the stop name. TQ will then calculate how early/late you’re running and adjust the rest of the schedule accordingly. To reset the schedule, just turn off schedule mode by clicking the “Track” button again.

Check it out!
