Welcome to the home page for WrightRocket. WrightRocket is my Internet nickname. My name is Keith Wright. Currently, my main apps on the Android Market are GPS Map, and the version which has no advertising and allows importing of Placemarks, GPS Map Pro. For the introduction to both, start at the GPS Map page. My latest Android application is KMLZ to Earth. It allows you to download, view attachments or browse your files in KML or KMZ format and view them in Google Earth. I still have an app on the Android Market called TimeIt. I have not been updating this app, as I no longer have a use for it. Here is a basic description of TimeIt. You may also want to check out the WrightRocket You Tube Channel. I've got a video about using GPS Map posted there, along with all sorts of random videos and Blender animations that I have created. If you want to read my latest tweets, then check me out on twitter: http://twitter.com/#!/wrightrocket. I often post more details about updates on Twitter than what I'm able to on the Android market. if you want to read my blog about geeky things that I do with Linux, Android, and other nerdy things, then check me out at http://wrightrocket.blogspot.com/. Finally, if you want to contact me directly, then email me at: keith.wright.rocket@gmail.com.

Main Map Icons Updated

In this window, you can toggle the visibility of My Location, Placemark, Satellite, Traffic, Track and Route layers. This Layers window replaces the old Layers menu item. It no longer will toggle the status of My Location or the Marker Focus, but it will toggle the visibility of the arrow indicating My Location, and whether the Placemarks are visible.The Preferences were updated to remove those that duplicated the functionality of the Layers window.
