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.
