Good news about iLOS 2.1 and also iLOE. Today we finished iLOS 2.1 with 2 new features. The user definied search can now be easiliy extended. As you see in the picture above 2 new keys made it by now: natural and craft. The server database will soon get all the key, values. Wieland is working on this topic. It is now very easy for me to add new keys, as soon as Wieland gets them into the server.

The next feature is the search for key=values pairs. If you don‘t remeber the right tag, just search for a part of it. All the matching key,values will be listed. And best of all: This feature will make into iLOE, so hopefully it will be even more faster to map with the iPhone.

Testing for iLOS will start tomorrow, so the upload will be at the end of next week.
