Finally mySailing Trips will allow you to track location of your yacht without coming back to your device. Version 1.2 is introducing this feature. Set intervals, set distance. Of course we must remember that system applications may interfere with these settings to certain level and our device must see the sky.
Beta version with these features is ready to test for all who joined beta program. Feel free to let me know if you want to participate in it too.
mySailing application is evolving. Now under name mySailing Trips it will be your friend to track your sailing adventures. Features are evolving, new features are coming soon. Give it a try and join our community. I do my best to maintain the same options on Android and iOS.
Finally! mySailing Trips has completed closed testing phase and is available for open testing on Play Google. This also allows me to prepare release available in official store.
mySailing application is entering the closed testing phase of new version which will be available for both platforms. At first it may offer a few less features then original one but finally it is possible to use it on both platforms.
Some updates to make it all a little nicer. First of all Event Detail view has now minimap showing where event was captured. Picture below is captured as an example – I don’t sail in towns 🙂
High time to share information about minor update. Minor in number and there is not really much visible changes but engine responsible for event types has been fully reworked.
What this change means for a sailor? It opens in near future way to creating own event type – including “Lost All Anchors” or “No more beer”. There was also feature request to manage events on the yacht you are owning.
Visible change is in events where you can add text – like Port Visited. Simply it is readable at last.
Trip Certificates are now going through AppStore approval and should be ready for download next week. There are some nice changes both in UI (it still needs a hug and some improvements as functions are evolving).
First of all both Trip and Crew member information stores some extra fields like list of visited ports, time sailing, mooring time etc. These fields can be collapsed so look for a header and touch it. On Trip this is in Edit section so swipe trip left to get there.
There are two ways to easy move Trip data to Crew members: Either use Sync on Crew list view or get sync individually on each Crew member card.
After syncing information you can change it of course as someone could join later or in different port.
Another change on Trip is that Captain is picked from Crew List. If you edit Trip and click icon next to Captain name you get to Crew list view with option to create new Crew Member. Small warning: person chosen as Captain does not get automatically role of Captain on Crew view. Yet.
And finally Captain can update Crew members with opinion which is expected by some yachting associations on Trip certificates.
And finally key element of release 1.8! Generate PDF trip summary for Crew member. It can be then sent, printed (for signing by captain) – whatever you want. During first run Templates for documents will be downloaded from the cloud. If for some reasons they are not there open Settings and About view to refetch them. In future there will be separate section for managing the templates. If you want to have your template – for club, association or other – let me know and we will think about it. Today there is a mySailing template in Polish and English.
