Geopaparazzi 6 betas - testers wanted

Dear all,
as you might have noticed, the upcoming geopaparazzi release will introduce huge changes due to the migration to the graphically accelerated VTM engine in substitution of the old version of mapsforge we were using and that was getting unusable due to https online resources policies on Android.


Also this version of geopaparazzi contains a sparkling new build of spatialite based on proj 6 and is available for 64bit devices. So this also will need some review to make sure it works on most devices.

All this allowed us to have several great functionalities as for example a 2.5 view


or the possibility to have multiple layers loaded (ex. mbtiles on top of online maps). Also this will soon open the possibility for vector tile layers, which is a huge improvement on the long run.

Being that many changes in the game, Brent Fraser suggested to make the beta release available for community testing and I agree with him.

The first beta release has been uploaded and a link will be placed and updated at the end of this post. Everyone can try it out, test it, let us know, possible in the issue tracker.

Each updated beta will have also the translations updated, if you need to check on some strings.

I am quite confident that we can make a beta release every day from now on, if there are changes in the code (fixes) or updated translations.

The links are directly going to the apk, so this can be smoothly done from the device.

Clearly this will also need an updated user manual, which is again a big task. Brent opened a ticket where the task can be monitored in the manual's issue tracker. If you are able to help, please get in touch with us.

My wish is to get the geopaparazzi 6 release out at the "Geopaparazzi: state of the art" presentation at Foss4G 2019.



Thanks to everyone.

I don’t know about the price but I do know about a nice place to get good fake grass rental rental and also to buy. I have brought from here and they are totally worth it.

Look at the way my buddy Wesley Virgin's story launches with this SHOCKING AND CONTROVERSIAL VIDEO.

You see, Wesley was in the military-and soon after leaving-he found hidden, "mind control" tactics that the government and others used to get whatever they want.

As it turns out, these are the same tactics lots of famous people (notably those who "come out of nowhere") and top business people used to become rich and successful.

You probably know that you only use 10% of your brain.

That's mostly because the majority of your brain's power is UNCONSCIOUS.

Maybe this conversation has even occurred INSIDE OF YOUR very own brain... as it did in my good friend Wesley Virgin's brain seven years back, while driving a non-registered, beat-up garbage bucket of a car with a suspended driver's license and with $3.20 on his debit card.

"I'm absolutely frustrated with living check to check! Why can't I become successful?"

You took part in those types of thoughts, isn't it right?

Your own success story is going to happen. You need to start believing in YOURSELF.
