I am very pleased that you found a solution for the 2003 users. I have installed it and it is running well. It looks very good to me…the display is also OK…..OK maybe it is better on a 2005 or 2006 device but if you didn’t mention the differences I would not have noticed.
Since a great lot of people seem to be still using the Windows Mobile 2003 operating system on their PDAs, we have decided to make the Run.GPS UV version available to those.
Because this operating system does not support alpha channel transparency, we had to replace this by simple color key transparency. This means that on WM2003 the graphics will be a bit grainy while on WM5 or WM6 it is really beautiful. But besides that, there are no other limitations on WM2003.
This is a sad story. It's not that we don't support WM2003 because we're too lazy to do so. Okay yes we are lazy but not that lazy.
Actually we didn't want to bother you with the technical details but if you demand a proper explanation you'll of course get one. Here it is: the core.dll of WM2003 does not support alpha channels.
What the f*** does that mean? It means that transparency is not supported. Run.GPS UV uses transparency throughout the GUI and maps. Without alpha channel transparency, it can technically be run, but looks terrible. You can try it out if you want. So, that's the reason why the UV is not and will not be available for WM2003.
But the 1.2.8 will still be maintained and there will be further updates! The UV version is a parallel branch and does not replace the 1.2 branch.
Btw, for many WM2003 devices there's a free WM5 upgrade available.
Auch ich habe das PGM erst vor kurzem gekauft und hatte Probleme mit der Syncronisation auf den PC. Habe eigentlich auf die Version UV gewartet und gehofft, daß das Problem mit dieser Version behoben ist.
.... war wohl nix.
Die Begründung, warum WM2003 nicht unterstützt wird, kann ich nicht so recht nachvollziehen.
Naja, vielleicht überlegt man es sich ja nochmal!!??
In another thread : http://www.gps-sport.net/faces/forums/index.jsp?thread=92&offset=0 you can read that 1.2.8 for Windows Mobile 2003 will be supported.
I guess we are lucky, but for how long?
Run.GPS Trainer UV in combination with Windows Mobile 2003.
As reported in the lates newsletter does the new Run.GPS trainer UV only work with Windows mobile 2005 or 2006. I have a Qtek S100 with Windows Mobile 2003…….does this mean that I can not benefit at all from all these new improvements?!?!
