gpsVP 0.4.22

[jerome]

Hello everybody,

there wasn't a lot of changes in the source code of gpsvp during the
last times (has everyone already a new smartphone? it's true that
gpsvp probably won't ever work on newer smartphone, as WM7 isn't
compatible with WM2003/WM5/WM6) and there is a change that I made and
I'm using successfully for a few months and find quite useful (zipping
a subfolder of the cache), that why I decided to compile a new version
0.4.22 so that others can profit of it.

I tried to make a list of all changes since v0.4.20:
- Geoid correction matrix: Updated values Atlantic & east America's.
Matrix is now complete (cybermaus)
- yandex.ru Map Source added (vlysenkov)
- Altitude correction into setup menu (cybermaus)
- Google Maps now use language identifier from GetLocaleInfo. So it
respects regional settings in user's host. (vlysenkov)
- Slide right/left on a monitors row in map mode will switch to
previous/next monitors row. (vlysenkov)
- Map configuration: Partial variables (Syntax %n,m) now also possible
for %X, %Y, %TMSX, %TMSY (jerome077)
- New monitors to display the current zoom level of the raster map:
ZOOM_00, ZOOM_01 and ZOOM_17 (jerome077)
- Save flash card health for those ones who does refresh cache. Raster-
>Maintenance->Refresh... routine now compares old and new contents for
each downloaded file to prevent file rewrite with the same data.
(vlysenkov)
- Enlarge screen buttons again (for easier finger operation)
(vlysenkov)
- New function "Show available tiles" based on the same current view
as for downloading tiles but which draw a new track with the outline
of all available tiles in the view. (jerome077)
- Zipped subfolders in the cache: gpsvp can read tiles out of zipped
folders in the cache (Not available on WM2003). Format should be 7z.
For good performance please use the not solid and not compressed
format (7z.exe a -t7z -mx0 -ms=off). It still saves lot of place and
tranfering file from a PC to an SD card is much faster. (jerome077)
- Experimental feature to export a map (reassembling tiles using gdal)
(jerome077)
- Other improvements

regards
Jerome

Hello, Jerome!
If it's not too late, please, remove yandex.ru tile source from this release as it is not properly working. Yandex uses different projection and that's why tiles with the same coords are shifted against google ones.
Regards,
Vitaly

Sorry, I should have asked before compiling the version.
It was already too late, because I uploading the version at the same
time that I posted this message.
As a quick fix I will immediately add a comment on the change list,
that the Yandex support doesn't work properly.
