Descriptions of using:
You are operating with two main sections: Both sections you can set independently in various styles and features. Read basic Help descriptions are available with this program on your mobile device. To access the menu: tap-and-hold any point of the screen. To move the map image: tap-and-move on the screen or use arrow hardware keys. A few large icons/buttons allows you to quick use some basic features (from left side of the screen): red: stopped, blue: visible, green: fixed) If you have GPS Rx connected with your device, you can see your current position: My Point. This programs show your geographical localization, moving speed, moving direction and (when you got some external points) distances to any points. You change between the above items by tapping your point on the map image in a sequence. In this same way: tapping one of external point you got, you change what items you want to see about this particular point. If you tap one of the external point where is not details displayed: it will hide all previous details and display for this point. If you tap the external point with some details displayed: it will change the details type in a sequence, as above. You can use one of built-in icons to present My Point position, or you can use your own picture: make your image and paste as file MyPoint.png or .bmp into the program's folder.
With or without GPS Rx you can always get external messages with localization points. These messages are stored in your ordinary Inbox folders. You can even get messages in the moment when this program is not running. Then you can open this program and use: Restore all points menu to display all your received points. All points are split between Sender's number identification automatically. As you can see on right screenshot, you can even use your own icons/images to display some external points. Rules are: any image saved in .bmp or .png format (256 colors recommended) in this program's installation directory, transparent color is (255,0,255) the point of localization is on the bottom-left corner of your picture 8 pixels from sides. The name of your picture must be exactly as the number/email of Sender. If the program found image named with some Sender's number, it will show this image against the selected style. Please do not keep too much pictures, because it can slow down the visualization of all points.
