We appreciate when people shows interest in our application and takes time to write about us. Here is the most resent review we found. Thanks!

The new release includes:
• Google Earth export. 0.9.5 contains a KML export feature. Long press any item in the Diary and select Export to Google Earth.

Facelift

2010-03-08T13:12:00.007+01:00

A few days ago we released Softrace Beta Version 0.9.4 with a complete UI facelift. Also, we now supports non-standard screen sizes and are fully operational using your handsets scroll. Great these days when some of us don't want to take of the glows. Download it and tell us what you think. Here are some screenshots.

KNOWN ISSUES - APPLICATION UPGRADE

2010-02-24T22:37:00.001+01:00

Some users have reported issues after upgrade to newer versions of Softrace. Between version 0.9.2 and 0.9.3, we removed the copy protection from Softrace. In some cases, the removal has resulted in data access conflicts causing the application to 'force close' at startup. For those that are interested in details, this post explains it all. In short, the conflict is caused by a defect in Android 1.5. So far we have only seen it on HTC Hero devices, but others may be affected. Unfortunately, uninstall / install is the only way to recover. We share the frustration with you as we are using HTC Hero phones ourselves.

We are also sorry for anyone who has lost data during re-installation.

"Force close"

2010-01-25T20:15:00.006+01:00

Some users have reported incidents where Softrace "Force close" while constructing new challenges. The reason this happens is the application running low on memory. The maps themselves consume a fare bit of memory, leaving the application with much less memory to play with than usual. To address this kind of problem, there's only one thing you as a developer can do. Consume less memory.

The most recent release, Softrace 0.9.3, uses significantly less memory than previous releases. This will eliminate the great majority (if not all) memory related program crashes. However, we have further improvements coming in subsequent releases that for sure will put an end to program restarts.

Please let us know how you are going with the newer versions of Softrace.

Until next year, make sure you try out our core feature "challenges". That is what really makes Softrace great. The article below will get you started. Thanks for all the great response, now go out and set some high scores! Best wishes, The Softrace Team.

Create a Challenge

2009-12-23T13:22:00.006+01:00

Glows from Lillsport, best there is.

CHALLENGE

Racing on a specific dedicated track! Create race tracks (challenges) and try to beat the high score. You can share your challenges or take on the challenges of other users! Live view on race progress (position in race etc.), location, distance, pace and more.

Challenge is a form of racing and one of the core features of Softrace. While the racing mode lets you compete anywhere in the world, challenges let you compete on real world courses. It could be compared with a pinball machine; one course and one high score for anyone to take on. But this time you physically will try to beat the high score in different motion based sports. In real time, in real life. You can easily create your own challenges and share them so that other users can try to beat the high score on your challenge.

A course is made up of a number of checkpoints where each checkpoint is the proximity of a given coordinate. The checkpoints are numbered and must be taken in order, starting with checkpoint »1«. A checkpoint is considered taken as soon as you have entered its proximity.

So, make a challenge of your favourite track and be among the first to share it with the world! All you need to know about getting started with "Challenges" is captured in the Softrace Help section on your handset.

SoftRate no 2

5.0 out of 5.0

This Softrate rates a pair of 8 year old glows from Swedish "Lillsport". It's the best pair of glows I have ever owned and they have gone through the "big test"; Six Vasaloppet + training (+2000 km cross country skiing), running and biking in between seasons. They still look brand new! Perfect fit, outstanding quality, wind resistant and dry. Go to Lillsport and check out their new models.

SoftRate no 1 – Don't run out of light!

As days grow shorter and darkness comes quick this little but powerful headlamp might save the day. e+lite® is super light and fits easily in the smallest pocket. We wouldn't start out in complete darkness but if you are uncertain about if you will be back before dusk its perfect. Due to its small size its also great as a back up light if your more powerful headlamp fails. Wouldn't leave without it! For full technical information go to petzl.com

• long lasting battery
• small and light
• built in whistle
• robust stow away pocket

SR tip No 1

2009-11-26T19:25:00.004+01:00

Some best practices to keep in mind while creating new challenges:
• Place checkpoints in areas where you are likely to have a good GPS signal, in other words avoid placing checkpoints deep in the forest or right in between tall buildings.
• Make sure you zoom in as far as the map allows on every checkpoint in order to position them with greatest possible precision.
