Belltower
Belltower is an application for the
Nokia N900 to find belltowers
hung for English change
ringing. The program is in an early stage of development.
It is available from the maemo-extras
repository.
The data is taken from
Dove's Guide for Church Bell Ringers.
With Belltower, you may:
- List all towers within fifty miles of you, using the N900's built-in GPS.
- Search by name or by area.
- Bookmark towers to return to them later.
You can:
In future versions:
- More information will be shown about each tower.
- Full county names will be displayed rather than abbreviations.
- The system will be able to download the latest version of Dove's Guide automatically.
- Tenor notes will be shown using ♯ and ♭ rather than # and b.
- You will be able to choose to sort towers by name, distance, or time until practice night.
- You will be able to choose between imperial or metric for tenor weights and distances to towers.
