Logbook Suite 1.4
March 31, 2019: The new Version 1.4 of Logbook Suite brings Logbook into a new dimension. The new Auto-NMEA function from Logbook 4.0 can independently record GPS/NMEA data and store them in the background. This data can be used to draw a detailed track of the route travelled and save it in Logbook.
In addition, the Auto-NMEA function also allows Logbook to make logbook entries independently. It is possible to make hourly entries (on the hour), entries for a change of course greater than the set angle or for under- or overruns of preset speeds.
Also the new input dialog in Logbook 4.0 and the now unlimited number of entries make manual data input with and without GPS/NMEA connection even easier.
Of course we also made some extensions to the Add-ons.
And last but not least, on the iPad the Logbook Suite Manager can now exchange files with different cloud services without any further intermediate steps.
