What is Geopaparazzi
Basically an engineering survey tool
...if necessary, something
to just have in your pocket...
...to easily map the important
professional targets...
...and in general important
things in life...

MBTiles backed tiles
Thanks to a contribution of Mark Johnson (www.mj10777.de) it is now
possible to back online tilesources into mbtiles databases.
url=http://sdi.provincia.bz.it/geoserver/wms?...
minzoom=11
maxzoom=22
center=11.42 46.8
type=wms
format=jpg
defaultzoom=17
mbtiles=provincia_bz/_ortofoto.mbtiles
a new mbtiles db is created and the tiles
fetched online only if not available and
those downloaded are stored there
Example *.mapurl file of WMS of Province of Bolzano:
if mtbiles db starts with "_",
then it will not be listed in the
sources list (avoid duplication)

8. 8 /21
Tile sources organisation
Since now mapsforge vector, mbtiles, wms and tms online/offline
resources can be used seamlessly, the old way to present maps didn't
make sense any more.
The old way:
default online
local tilesets
mapsforge
vector maps
The new way:
all compatible
tile sources
are shown
default online are now mbtiles
backed data sources (still added
if no source is available) -> data
are automatically saved fo offline access

9. 9 /21
Notes and bookmarks handling
Notes and bookmarks can now be visualized/zoomed to/edited
in a dedicated list view.

Decorations... textfactor
For mapsforge vector maps it is now possible to change the
maptext factor (default 1) in the preferences.
factor = 1 factor = 2

11. 11/21
Decorations... center cross
Since it is used for notes insertion, it was necessary to make it more
visible and customizable.

Decorations... map units
Geopaparazzi has been quite metric until 3.7.0.
metric imperial

The secret view!
In the secret view some advanced options are available.
a demo mode that simulates a gps log for in-house use
different logging levels that write debug messages
into the project database -> can be sent to the
developer to solve strange bugs!
