Tyre software update.

[LonestarCBR]

Here are the latest improvements to the Tyre route planning software some of us are using:

Version 6.44 (build 2):
■ We have improved copying routes to the new Rider 40/400. Instead of just copying a track, it is now possible to select the format that you want to use for copying the route to your device: waypoints, track, or both.
We recommend to select both, because in some cases the Rider 40/400 refuses to calculate a route using a track.
■ If your TomTom Rider 40/400 is not able to exchange files, you get a warning. Until now that warning always came with an English image.
We have added other images as well, and most users will see an image in their own languages.
■ It seems that we finally succeeded in reading waypoints from the new Google Maps format. Enjoy!
If you still encouter errors, please let us know, and send us the Google Maps link that is unwilling to reveal its secrets…
■A new file type is supported for opening and saving: CoPilot *.trp files.
■ Checking the Java installation on your computer could cause some strange effects. Since Tyre accepts both the 32 bits and the 64 bits versions of Java, we have simplified the function to check the Java installation.
■ There is an improvement for routes that are sent to your iPhone by email. The email subject name will contain the route name instead of just ‘Tyre’.
There is only one exception: if your route does not have a name yet, the email subject will still be ‘Tyre’.


Version 6.44 (build 1):
This is an update with serious improvements.
■ A new TomTom Rider model is available (Rider 40/400). We have been working hard to make Tyre communicate with this new model.
Communication is partially done using the TomTom Cloud via the MyDrive program. That means that you need a TomTom account. Tyre will help you to create one, if you have a Rider 40/400 and you don’t have such an account.
It also means that Tyre will not copy files and other data to the Rider 40/400 directly: it will copy the files and the data to the cloud, and your device will recieve them from there.
So, it is important that your device is connected to the TomTom cloud service properly: using the same TomTom account that you use when working with Tyre.
For another part communication is done directly, by copying files to a part of the device that is accessible when you tap the ‘Import routes’ button.
That button is not available from older TomTom software. Therefore make sure that the software on your Rider 40/400 is up to date. You can use the MyDrive program to do that.
■ The Drag&Drop window has a checkbox now: checking it will close the window en prevent re-opening it on minimizing the Tyre main window.
If you want to use it again, toggle the speed button on the button bar from the main window.
■ There was a small bug in adding new favorites. It must have been there for ages, but it came up recently. Thanks, Robin! We have fixed the bug.
■ There were some problems in exporting a road book to a file in CSV format. Those problems are gone now.
■ Some improvements are still on our list, but we did not want to wait in publishing this version, because of the first mentioned item.

The latest update...
Version 6.44 (build 5):
■ This is a fix. The map, the roadbook, etc. did not appear in any local language anymore. Now they do again.

Version 6.44 (build 4):
■ We have added a small, but very nice feature: now it is very easy to insert a waypoint, instead of just adding it. Right click on the map, and you will find out.
We have also added this option to the popup boxes that appear, when you select a waypoint.

Version 6.44 (build 3):
■ There were still problems on reading waypoints from the new Google Maps format.
We have improved the function, and it is a lot better now: we have done a lot of tests. All routes passed the test. Unfortunately, some of them did not have all waypoints in the right order. We are still working on that issue.
If you encouter other errors, please let us know, and send us the unwilling Google Maps link…
■The new TomTom Rider 40/400 has a new maximum number of waypoints: 255. We have adapted Tyre accordingly.
■ We have added a new function in handling favorites. From the ‘Select set of Favorites’ window, two new buttons are available: ‘Open…’ and ‘Save as…’.
They can be used to export your sets of favorites, or to import them. A handy function to transfer your favorites, when you have installed Tyre on a new computer, or if you want to give them to a friend.
This new function is only available for users of Tyre Professional.
■ Using Google Earth Pro was not supported by Tyre. Now it is.
■ Apparently there were problems in reading the TomTom MyDrive log in data properly with some system languages. We have improved the function that handles those data.
