New iPods and NanoMaps

NanoMaps

The new iPod models (nano and touch) have new screen resolutions. So I updated the Library for the new models. To change the export screen dimensions, go to Preferences > iPod and enter the values for your model there. BTW, one feature downgrade requested and build into TrailRunner 1.5 can also be set here: Disable the rotate NanoMap into direction of heading.

About NanoMaps
NanoMaps describe a route in a very compact and portable way to stay on track – without using an expensive GPS-Unit. NanoMaps depict every waypoint on your route with a snap-shot of the map-area around it. Additionally the map is rotated in a way that the direction you are coming from is always at the lower edge of the screen. The orange arrow then shows you the direction you should turn to. The biggest benefit is, that even if you did not put every possible track into your map you can still see that there are other tracks at a crossing.
Because it is not possible to have subfolders in the nano Photo-Library, green squares with a readable route-code in the overview mode help you to find the route you are looking for.
