Dear aviators,

This week's beta addresses the bug created in 4.1.305 that prevented logbook entries to get created from the daily breadcrumb files. When this new beta version is installed you can still extract these logbook entries by selecting menu->system->Tracklogs, and there tick the daily breadcrumb files no logbook entries have been created from (you can select multiple breadcrumb files).

Next choose the breadcrumb tools

 And then select "Extract logbook entries". 

A full list of release notes is listed below. 

Cheers,
Team EasyVFR 4

 Release notes

• NEW: Implemented Dynon DataExchange for Android. This makes it possible to directly copy AVData, OBData, plates and charts for your Dynon SkyView to the USB stick connected to your Android device. 
• NEW: Android version now uses TargetSDK 31 as required by Google Play Store.
• IMPROVED: Dynon DataExchange now deletes old AeroData (avdata*.dup, obdata*.dup), keyfiles (.key) and raster charts (.dcf) from the memory stick automatically.
• IMPROVED: Visual Reporting Points consisting of only NATO alphabet codings will now no longer spell out the ID as label on the map to reduce clutter.
• IMPROVED: GPS inaccuracy detection on Android.
• IMPROVED: Some Android devices change DPI slightly when rotating portrait to landscape and visa versa, causing EV4 to re-calculate the magnification settings each time with a rotation change. This now is only done when difference in DPI is more than 5%.
• IMPROVED: Menu->Help & Legal now has an entry pointing to our YouTube channel for instruction videos.
• FIXED: 4.1.305 broke automatic logbook creation.
• FIXED: When scrolling the language selector screen to select languages initially out of view, then those languages could still not be selected.
• FIXED: Airspaces with lowerlevel GND were labeled as SFC on the map.
• FIXED: When deleting a raster chart using Menu->myEasyVFR, EasyVFR4 would crash.
• FIXED: When a new country was added while a route was loaded then that route was not restored after the country select was done and no countries were added at all.
• FIXED: Sometimes a Google Maps tile was rendered at a zoomed-out zoomlevel.
