PathAway GPS 5 - Express Edition
for iPhone/iPad/iPod

Pre-release Notes

This build has the functional equivalent of the Express Edition version of PathAway. Express Edition is a lighter version then the current Standard Edition for Windows Mobile. While the feature set is not finalized, the initial release will be Express Edition, with Standard and Professional Editions to follow.

Known Problems - Reproduced and Verified (Current Build)

- import data files such as gpx, kml, pw* are also supported however the iOS “Quick Look” is currently trapping these files and displaying them as text file. The workaround is to Zip the files before sending to PathAway. We’re working on a fix for this.

Known Problems - Not Reproduced (Current Build)

Suggestions - (not implemented):

- Bulk Map tile download
- sharing of files via itunes or build in ftp-server or similar service (not everyone has fast internet for mailing or the knowledge setting up their own webserver)
