It includes other fixes and enhancements as well, including a satellite count display in CacheNav. Fields that are not strictly numeric now default to alphanumeric so that they work correctly on certain WM6 devices that, for some reason, interpret a numeric default mode as a restriction (T-Mobile Dash, I'm talking to you). This is also the first release that is properly signed, which means that it should now install and run on locked phones! It would be very interesting if locked Blackjack II and Q9h devices will now work with it, when it comes to GPS functionality, or if that is a different sort of lock-down. If you have such a device to test with, please drop a line with the results. The first add-on export plugins for this version of CacheMate have also been released. They add support for TomTom, MS Pocket Streets, and OziExplorer WPT files (for programs such as gpsVP, which use that format).

Other enhancements include a "corrected coordinates" switch and a "database info" menu option. The next Windows Smartphone release will include these changes and more. It's being delayed for the procurement of a code signing certificate from Verisign, which should happen in the next week or two.

CacheMate 1.0.3 for WM Smartphone adds support for Microsoft's GPS interface, which opens up access to unlocked built-in GPS receivers in Samsung's Blackjack II, Motorola's Q9h, and possibly other devices as well. If you're aware of other devices with similar functionality that this support works with, then by all means let us know. This release also adds a workaround for bugs in the WM6 Pocket IE engine, which cause problems with horizontal navigation between links (hint: look for a new Goto menu option).

It also removes the numeric limitation to travel bug serial number entry.

It also improves quick notes functionality, giving the option to append rather than replace.

A few smaller enhancements and fixes were made as well. Tue, 01 Jan 2008 19:38:42 GMT
