Geo Planner - 2.0

So, here came the long-awaited day (although it is certainly worth noting that we were going to release updates much earlier) when the Geoplaner application was updated . This application has already been described by us earlier http://habrahabr.ru/blogs/android/114297/ . As you know, the main problem that arose earlier is the impossibility of the program working over the network, and updates to a greater extent had to solve this problem, however, we saw a lot more changes, it was not for nothing that the version of the program went up by one major digit.

What's new

The first thing that catches your eye is the updated application interface. The program has become more serious and more beautiful. Reworked menu, list of actions, updated markers on the map, changed the page about the application, there were settings and much more. The exit button appeared in the menu, which disables the application and pauses alerts about the tasks submitted.

When you open the list, you immediately see the Wi-Fi task with a black, different from the others, header. Now the wifi4free.ru service is integrated into this application. The map shows the places where there is Wi-Fi in your city and there is an opportunity to link the task to these points when you fall within their range.

Also now you can attach several actions to one place and set your own schedule for each. The list of possible actions is replenished. Added the function of navigating through the Url, launching the application and sending SMS.

What about the battery?

As for the main problem of the previous version, adapting this application for positioning on cell towers, the developers faced a number of difficulties, such as accuracy of determination. If in the center of the city, where the density of the towers is large, the accuracy is still acceptable, then closer to the outskirts of the city or to industrial areas, the accuracy can be 3-4 kilometers. Having carried out substantial work, we managed to ensure accuracy within 500 m with a high coefficient of probability. Now the program uses GPS coordinates when it is turned on, and the cellular signal, wifi location data to which it is connected, and A-GPS when satellite signal is not available.
