  • Fixed a crash when accessing routes with no existing route available
  • Fixed a bug where you could navigate the coordinate-field in the waypoint-dialog and enter free text.
  • Removed dictionary/content-assist in some textfields where it just didn’t make sense
  • If you only had one CacheDB and that wasn’t selected, the menu-option needed to select it was grayed out.
  • Fling-Gesture on Main-Page wasn’t always recognized correctly with Froyo on Desire.
  • Fixed a bug where the TB-date was displayed incorrectly on some systems.
  • Fixed a bug where the background-color on some devices (manufacturer specific themes) would differ from the standard and cause some invisble gui-elements to become slightly visible :) .
  • Froyo fixed the light-theme-Settings-Page bug, so beginning with Android 2.2 the Settings-Page is not forced to the Night-Theme anymore.
  • Fixed a bug, when editing Settings which were already in the write-cache (“unchangable found-count”)
  • Fixed a bug, where the Field Note count could not be changed anymore in the settings after writing the first Field Note
  • Fixed a bug, where the Field Note export would not remember which Field Notes were already exported
