More on SpotLog

I've used SpotLog a couple of times recently on trips away and it's working quite well.

Recent new features:

  • AutoBackup - backups the DB automatically when app is opened.
  • Enter post-timestamped data.  Previously records where always entered at the current time, you can now enter records after the event (eg I saw something while out and about and just scribbled down the number and want to enter it into spotlog later).  Actually, I used the voice memo option on my mobile phone.
  • Capture numbers from photographs.  Actually this is a PC app that allows me to scan though my digital photo albums and record the numbers (and location) of trains I've photographed - date and time are read from the photo EXIF data.  The records can then be imported into SpotLog.
  • Alternative numbers.  Eg if a loco had previous numbers show these as well.
  • Group databooks by country (I have records for UK, Switzerland and Germany at the moment)
I'm planning to publish SpotLog on the Android Market soon - probably in free and premium paid versions.  Some other new features I'd like to add:
  • Export/Import databooks
  • Report output
  • Include car numbers in unit formations.
