Hello,

one note for Linux users:

If you use Linux you may record a voice notice with 'gpstrigger'[1].
The difference is that you could use a connected joypad. This is more
practical and secure if you're alone in the car.

I don't know if someone uses the application. I haven't updated the
source archive for some time. There're still some bugs in this version.
I should do a update in the next days...

regards
Andreas
