GPS Data Logger Software - BT747

I've reviewed the TODO list removing some things that have been done, like improving the load time for the thumbnails and added some others.

I seriously lack time to do all of this, espescially after creating my company.  I do make some improvements here and there, and I continue to fix bugs.

PROBLEMS

• There is some issue when starting the log download "too soon"  - the used memory size is not always available yet and BT747 does not wait to get it.

IMPROVEMENTS (Things not very visible to the user).

• Detect power up/rest of device (Initial PMTK010) and use it to rerequest all the values.
• Even more precise height conversion (at least on PC) using RTCM (http://www.bt747.org/forum/how-omit-cmt-tag-gpx-format-waypoints).
• Need to indicate that the device needs formatting in all setups (J2ME, PDA).

FEATURES

Application

• Implement a sanity check of the parameters and warn the user if they seem strange:
  - Log conditions will not really log anything;
  - LAT/LON/TIME missing from format;
  - Too many NMEA strings for the serial speed.
• Automatically download data and upload to a server.
• Act as a server.
  - Show current position;
  - Allow remote app to get past data;
  - Provide map (html output, but through the server)
  - Allow configuration using browers (could also work on the local machine).
• Build a database of tracks:
  - Find past tracks easily based on time or on location;
  - Tag files without explicitly providing the files to use;
• More advanced track filtering.
• [Partially] rethink GUI. - Geotagging interface must be better;
  - Provide interface for dummies.
  ° Download,Tag,Convert,Easy configurations (On foot, By car, Personal ocnstraints [est. travel distance, travel time, precision and determine log conditions from that])
• Incremental download of 'overwrite' data by appending to existing file.
• Send SMS with current or past positions.

Device

• Add SIRFIII support.
• Detect that a device has bad blocks. Skip the blocks/propose to repair. [Does not seem to happen that often]

 Tracks

• Allow changing data in J2SE gui.
• Allow saving data from the J2SE gui table(s).
• Allow color configuration.

Tagging

• Allow tagging using the exiftool (actually possible by configuring the 'user ' conversion.

Map

• Add scale to map.
• Use specific icons according to the waypoint type.
• Add google map - the legal way (integrate a browser).
• Add statistics for the path:
  - traveled distance since start
  - traveled distance to end
