Java Clients v0.2.7 are online. This is mostly a cosmetic update, fixing a few missing icons etc. Also a sometimes occurring hang on shutdown has been fixed.

On another topic: I saw the new James Bond film a few days ago. Better then last few, but still not quite Connery… Anyway, on several occasions during the film I found my self thinking about NavXS, as our hero used his mobile phone to track down the bad guys and find his way to Casino Royal. Tom Cruise used similar solutions in Mission Impossible III. This clearly shows that science fiction is catching up on reality ;-)

Whats on with the future development? I'm using the Java version for SXG75 with success from December 2006, but from time to time find bugs (like the menu item doubling)... and of course it would be fine that the authors continue their fine work and add some futures, like support of custom uploaded vector maps, waypoints... Regards

Things have been moving slowly lately due to completely unrelated events. We're still at it however, and new versions will be available "when they're ready" ;-) One of the things we're working on is the possibility to create and edit "locations" (or waypoints if you will) that can be shared with your contacts. A new web client is also long overdue, but that might take a bit longer...
