2 March 20031.8 Created a decent install set so that running a .msi file on the PC installs the app to the PDA.
31 July 20061.7 Fixed problem when frst downloading - no reference data for walk type created. It now works as soon as downloaded, and you do not have to get "Transfer data" working before you can capture a walk.
9 July 20061.6 Fixed problem with the date format on uploads. Forced all dates to SQL default format.
Added facility for the images to be rotated on the website.
07 July 20061.5 More style added from Clear Breeze Design. Was incredibly easy as the updated style sheet did it automatically. Walk details page improved.
Some walk plotting functions improved - icons on the website, colours etc.
More time allowed for GPS to find the satellites - for older GPSs.
Walk photos put into a scrolling div instead of a massive table.
PDA - tap the app, and get a full screen image of the current picture
Same for the plot
19 June 20061.4 Style added from Clear Breeze Design. Was incredibly easy as the updated style sheet did it automatically. Very little code change (mostly to correct my errors).

Moved compact to the delete walk button - so that it speeds up the startup.
Compact traps errors better - usually caused by lack of memory
RSS Feed added, atomatically generated by web service.
Ability to add comments to walks for registered users.
Added ability for registered users to give feedback on the PDA app, the website and setting up GPSs.
Fixed the aspect ratio on the walk plots - makes the plot use less screen, but give better info.
The walk search table is now more compact so that it fits in an 800 screen.
Reformatted the walk details screen so that it is 800 wide also.
