Hi 276er User,

einen Sack voll neuer Funktionen und Erweiterungen. Man kann jetzt sogar Straßen angeben, die man im Routing vermeiden will, weil da z.B. temporär eine Baustelle ist, etc. Mann kann jetzt ein Strassenprofil einstellen, in dem man per Schieberegler die Präferenzen für einzelne Strassentypen bestimmen kann. Sommer/Winterzeitumstellung geht jetzt automatisch und die Einstellung anderer Zeitzonen muß nicht mehr per UTC +/- Abweichung angegeben werden. Es ist soviel, da muß man sich erstmal eingehend mit beschäftigen.
Die Übersetzungen einzelner Funktionen ist jetzt besser eingedeutscht, dafür sind alle neuhinzugekommenen Funktionen noch alle in Englisch, also ein echter deutsch/englischer Mischmasch, das führe ich aber auf den noch BETA-Status der Software zurück.

ACHTUNG alle Userdaten und Einstellungen werden mit dem aufspielen der neuen Firmware gelöscht.....!!!!!
