TrackMyJourney (BlackBerry) is a mobile application that uses GPS data to provide a number of functions, including navigation, location tracking, map display and route plotting. It receives its location coordinates by communicating via Bluetooth with a separate GPS receiver, or via the phones internal GPS if supported. The phones built-in GPRS/3G/GSM data connection is then used to send its location over the internet to the TrackMyJourney website where you can then share your location and recorded tracks with your friends.

What's New in This Release:
· Customisable Vector Map colour schemes. Create new schemes via the website MY ACCOUNT/SETTINGS/Devices page, then use the Plan Page Menu/Vector Map Options/Colour Scheme to load it onto the phone. (Use Reload Current Map to refresh the list of available schemes on the phone)
· Customisable Text page screens, also set via the website Devices page above. The screen settings are downloaded to the phone the first time Enable Web is used after restarting TMJ.
· Extra GPS Log format - Raw CSV/TXT
· Fixed Timezone/DST bug when uploading tracks to website - it should now correctly take TZ and DST settings from phone (previously the DST setting was ignored)
· Fixed persistent bug that caused occasional freezing issue on the Plan and Map pages when using an Internal GPS, particularly on BlackBerry phones.
· Fixed bug with unlocking full version on US BlackBerry CDMA phones.
· plus many other small tweaks from the last few months...
What's New in 0.7.9:
· Addition of vector map colour scheme presets (Plan Page menu/Vector Map Options/Colour Scheme), which modify the colours in the vector map tiles without increasing their storage requirement.
· Various UI improvements on touchscreen phones: smoother scrolling in menus and the waypoints page. Direct selection of items by 'clicking' them on the plan page. Smoother dragging of plan and map pages.
· Addition of UK Ordnance Survey OpenData + OpenStreetMap online raster tiles 'mashup', as detailed here. (Full version only)
· Alternate method of loading custom raster tiles direct from a standard 'OSM/Mercator' /zoom/column/row folder structure on the phones memory card. (Needs phones that allow full unrestricted access to memory card, eg BlackBerry, Sony Ericsson JP8)
· BlackBerry-specific additions: Bug-fixes to improve GPS refresh frequency on OS 6 phones, particularly the Torch 9800 (Menu/GPS/GPS Options/Force 1 Sec Refresh). New build for OS 5 and 6 platforms, automatically switches web connection method to WiFi when in range.

· Vector Maps now include embedded height/altitude information derived from NASA SRTM data, displayed on the Measurement Ruler, the 'View Coordinates' menu function and also used when adding new waypoints/routepoints on the Plan page to include an estimated altitude in the stored point.
· Re-written the Online Raster code to improve responsiveness.
· Improved/clearer drawing of dotted/dashed lines (ie Footpaths and Bridleways) on the Plan view Vector Maps.
