Hoping to improve a bit the problem of detecting the chipset, a new version is released.
In this new version, if jTomtom is not able to detect the chipset of the connected GPS it will ask the question. You can then force the chipset.

To go with, a button send you to the documentation part which explains how to find your GPS chipset, and if you really understand nothing, jTomtom install all available updates.

After two months of the test version becomes the new stable version.

The big new is the support for the spanish radars with the site Pdis.es.
In fact, the real big new is invisible, that's the plugin manager which has requested a significant redesign of the code for easily support new web sites of radars (or POIs).

I want to thank my two main testers who will recognize themselves (I hope because I know only their email :s). They helped me greatly and they have spent long time for testing and feedback all problems I encountered. Thank you again.... read more

A new test version has been published.

It contains the new plugin manager and the plugin for spanish radars on pdis.es.

Warning, this version is not finished and probably contains bugs. If you notice any abnormal behavior or application crashes, thank you for forwarding them via the tracker.

This is the update of this week.
Little change in appearance, we thank Francisco Luque Contreras for the spanish translation and his help for the internationalization of radars.

Indeed, jTomtom will soon update the radar of several countries. The code has been re-structured (yet) to accept easily new sites for radars update. The work is not finished yet so the change does not appear yet on the interface.
In the code, the necessary changes are made. If you're a Java developer, it is easy to write a class that allows the update of the radars. If you're interested, you can contact me via the email address in the about tab.

A big update this time!

First, the correction of major bugs on searching the active card. Two in one bug wich prevent on some GPS to detect the active card with errors throwing during the update of the radars.
A problem has been corrected on the reading of the jTomtom version wich appear in some cases.
Thank you at Lionel Baruthel who had the patience to do all the tests that I asked him to be able to correct these problems.... read more

A new file is available for people who want to help for translations.
You can download this file, duplicate an of the existing translation, rename with your own locale name et translate.

A new version is available with an important bug fix on jTomtom start and some little translations modification

jTomtom is now translated in german

Just a little update for add new about tab with my direct mail.

A new option for check update availability was added in the parameter tab

So this is the first SF News for jTomtom ...
I will try to add some news when I write a french news on the Web Project Page.

I have add an debug option for create an ISO file smaller than the backup ISO with just what I need to test a GPS. If you find a bug you can use this option for create a file and send me for test.
