Works great! Thanks mate.

Hey I have a problem with the options box. It doesn't fit on an 800x600 screen and I have to change resolution in order to hit the close button.

Ouch, I'll have to fix that.
I've updated the release versions so the options dialog will fit on an 800x600 display.
I've also included the new "Fly-to Speed" feature.

Get them here:

Fits great on 800x600 now. Thanks.
Is there any way to have goops close the GE popup when starting without an internet connection? It's preventing me from embedding GE in FreeIce. I know the GE plugin for RoadRunner did this. It also closed the stop fetching errors when loosing input.

Wonderful, GoopS working like a champ with the most recent fixes. Thanks David!

One thing I noticed, si that the KML file (sent via FTP) keeps an inifinite historical log of TIMESTAMPS. The track data itself seems to be circular, which is great... it deletes the oldest data in favor of newer data points, as dictated by the maximum # lines in the FTP settings dialog. However the timestamps are never 'cleaned', so it leaves a gigantic mess of timestamps on the map (for those of us that run GoopS continuously without reboot, and without clearing the tracks).

Not sure if this was by design? I actually kind of like having a longer history of timestamps than that of track data, but an infinite history becomes unmanageable after a while. Personally, I would like twice as many timestamps as track data. If not , then I would say just make them equal, so that there is only timestamp data alongside existing track data.

Talking about resolution I would acctually like it to fit in 480x800... But no big deal. Its setup once and then forgotten. (huh, right)

That's a good idea, I'll look into it.

That's definitely a bug. I've seen it before.

I'm working on a redesign of the Options dialog that will make it much smaller and less cluttered.

Hi David,

I've noticed a Cursor Scaling problem with the new release V2_3, when you change the Playback Speed while playing an NMEA file.

The Anomaly causes the Cursor to Disappear and only the selected telemetry and labels are seen.

Best wishes on the new release!

Hi David,

I've been trying to track myself (Goops V2.3) using the GpsGate Buddy Tracking Website.

I've added myself as a member to the relevant Group, using the same "Name" as the name specified in the "Goops Name" field.

The relevant External Server is setup in Goops to send my position to the GPSGate Server.

However, all I get when logging into my GpsGate Buddy Account is a static marker of the position that I had initially inputed through the website.

Do I need to define some specific tracking parameters in GpsGate Buddy for it to recognise Goops as a tracking device! (eg. IMEI ??)

Many thanks !

Hey Abeh,

You don't need to do anything special.
Make sure you entered the correct name and password for your gpsgate account. The name and password are case-sensitive.
Be sure the server is set to "online.gpsgate.com"
"Send My Position" should be checked.
The gps signal needs to be "acquired" for the gpsgate server to accept the data.

If you check "Enable Debug Log" in the GooPs options dialog, run for a few minutes, then send me the file goopsDebug.log, I may be able to figure out what's going on.

Hi David,

Not having much luck with Buddy-Tracking on GpsGate.

I did suspect the case-sensitivity of the Username and Password, but changing this did not help.

I've attached a Log file as requested.

Once again, many thanks for your help!
