The obvious next step for Creelcard had to be using some of the great location and map features of the Android platform. After some long hours getting my head round the unfamiliar Location and Maps APIs, helped by some great tutorials, we have just released the next version with some cool new geo features.
You can now specify the position of a Location record (e.g. a fishery, lake or riverside) and / or individual catches by either using your current phone GPS location, manually selecting from a map, or simply by typing in the co-ordinates yourself. For when the catch position is not known exactly, you can also define the approximate circular area in which the catch happened by resizing the area circle overlayed on the map. We will use this feature in future updates (setting proximity alerts, suggesting nearest "favourite" catch locations etc).
Please let us know how you would like to see Creelcard's features improve .. we would really appreciate any feedback. You can contact us by email (support (at) creelcard (dot) com), using our Get Satisfaction site, or by leaving comments on this blog.
More soon!
