2014-05-08Yet some more changes to Companion part of user manualv4.1Gravatar Willem Ferguson
A last few changes before 4.1. The first figure in "Using Companion app" needs a third part. This was inserted. Which, in turn, affected the last figure in that section. So that was also changed accordingly. Few tiny changes to text to clean up references to figures.

2014-04-25User manual: some changes regarding the companion appGravatar Salvador Cuñat
Subsurface companion is, basically, the same from last Subsurface release, it's only been added with the map feature which is depicted here. Distance between positions takes precedence over time between them, so you can have positions faster than one each period set in the "Min Duration" setting. Actually this setting seems useless as you won't have a fix each period if distance is under "Min distance". Lesser changes in manual involving Background Service, the dificulty on matching times and little personal recomendations.
