We are pleased to announce GPS Tools beta 2. Over the last few months we have been refactoring the entire code for performance improvements and better maintainability. Now we have the most advanced component for Joomla to showcase your GPX and KML tracks. Whats more? Now the component makes use of Google's new Maps v3 and Charts v3 APIs, and introucing the automatic elevation retrival from the webservices as well as caching system that enables the component to process the GPX/KML files once and use cached data from next requests. This will greatly improve the performance of the application. Here is the brief introduction of the new features and updates.

  • New Google Maps v3 and Charts v3 support. Now you can get rid of deprecated old Google APIs.
  • Automatic Elevation Retrieval: Missing elevation data in your GPX/KML files? Do not worry, the component will automatically get them from the webservices for you and stores in cache.
  • Caching System: The data files will be processed once and used for subsequent requests. This will greatly reduces the usage of system resources as well as improves performance.
  • New Track information table to display important information about the track
  • New elevation profile and placemark details table for KML files
  • Revamped UI: New look and feel for front-end
  • CoreJoomla Library component support
