RollChart

[Blrfl]

Hey folks...

I've just released RollChart, which is a modern take on paper roll charts and road books that have used for decades by motorcyclists, bicyclists and rally drivers.

The application is free and features the following:

• An editor for charts that uses a simple, plain text markup that can be copied, emailed, etc.
• The ability to download a chart from the Internet
• The ability to export and import charts to and from external storage (e.g., your SD card)
• Segment counter
• Single-segment distance and an accumulating odometer
• Two-part tulip (ball-and-arrow) diagrams that allow things like combining the "go straight" and "bridge" symbols to mean "go over the bridge."
• Forward and backward navigation by touching the upper or lower half of the screen
• Built-in demo charts and reference material
• Ways to customize the appearance of the chart while you're running it

Installing RollChart Upgrade (also available on the Android Market for $2.49) adds:

• Touch-free forward/back navigation using your device's proximity sensor. All you have to do is wave your gloved hand over the phone.
• A configurable "instant-on" scroll bar to allow instant access to any part of the chart.
• The ability to combine more than two symbols into complex tulip diagrams.

All of the features in the upgraded version are enabled when viewing one of the built-in demo charts.

The full manual (which is built into the application) is available here: CLICKY
