any full screen image viewer application w/ scroll & zoo

you can try Photo Editor.
It allows you to move and zoom your images... fullscreen is not yet supported, but it will be added in future versions.

Hope you like it 😊

Thanks for the link but I doubt I am willing to pay, especially considering I'd be paying a complete photo editor when I only need to view images... I appreciate the suggestion though. Anyone else?

I use RepliGo, which is a fully fledged document viewer - It allows you to view MS office docs, Adobe PDF, graphics files and HTML pages etc on your P800 using printer driver rendering technology. It works quite well with small maps and other graphics. There is a full screen view as well as many different zoom levels. The only snags are that files must be converted to proprietry rgo format and MANUALLY copied to the phone. The software consists of conversion toolbar add-ons for Adobe, MS Office and IE and a "printer driver" option for use with unsupported programs. Oh, and it's not that cheap $24.99, but I find it useful. Check out the 14 day trial at:

Not everyone uses microshaft and it doesn't appear that they have a .sis version of their code. Oh well, I didn't want their product anyway.
:robot: :evil:

Well, if you have firmware version R2x allready, the image viewer supports full-screen and zooming.

If you haven't upgraded yet, this is a freeware option:

Delta737, yes of course I am familiar with Ole Melen's software. I have it installed but it doesn't zoom or move/drag the picture and s/he's got no email or website listed to make a feature suggestion.
Does the new firmware allow you to view bigger pictures and zoom them and move/drag them around if they are bigger than the screen, or does it simply do what Ole Melen's freeware does and nothing else?

Touchstone, thanks a lot for the link! I hadn't found that one. It actually has a NYC map, just what I was looking for... But it's too expensive...

I just wanted to thank thouchstone for the link one more time because I downloaded it and it does exactly what I needed (dragging larger images around and full screen zoom). This program is amazing but too expensive and big to download (over 4Mb). I wonder if the viewer on the P800 expires after 14 days too or if it's just the PC software to create the proprietary files that expires...

The P800 viewer will not expire, only the conversion software will.

Our next release (June) will make all of our viewers available as free downloads with no expiration, as encouragement to use the RepliGo file format.

Photo Editor is not time limited. You can use it freely as long as you don't use the save/send functionality.
So if you only want to view some files it will work fine for life time 😊

Ok I have a question for the both of you:

jbm, you seem to be working for RepliGo so let me ask you this: how do I achieve a good quality when I print a picture? I am trying to get a NYC subway map into the p800 and I tried several formats and compression levels but I am never able to read the places' names...
I wonder if I should start a new thread for RepliGo users? Are there many of you out there? Would you care to discuss this? If there's not many maybe jbm can give us some tips on how to get hi quality big images into the p800...

...and...

MirekCz, the PhotoEditor you mention, does it do full screen (without cropping) and drag/move picture around so that I can view a big picture in sections and drag it around to see what doesn't fit the full size screen?

One thing you might do is make sure that your source images are high resolution to begin with. For example, if you're printing a web page, most images there start at low resolution, something like 96dpi depending on the web designer. But if you come from an imaging application, or from Office, the resolution is dependent on the original data, which could be high or low depending on where it came from.

In RepliGo you will see the best results when the application can print using some vector or drawing format. In this case our print driver will interpret up to 300dpi data, and give a very nice representation of that document.

In our first release, we traded off customizability for simplicity. All images are downsampled, and there is no way for the user to change that. We may provide some options in this area in a future release.

[quote="marcnyc"]...new thread for RepliGo users?...[/quote]
We also have our own forums at www.cerience.com/forums, if there are subjects to discuss which may be of interest to the RepliGo user community. If you are a RepliGo user, you may find other interesting topics there too.

marc:if you can't use vector images of maps (that's usually how you save maps) and maps are very simply with few colors you could try .gif or eventually .mbm compression.. this should allow you to get best results I would say.

Jpg will work fine, but it can drop a lot of quality.

Photo Editor allows you to view pictures of any size (as long as they fit into memory) with a fit image to window/25%/50%/100%/200%/400% zoom. You will start to get troubles with image sizes over 1000x1000 (such images need 4mb to be stored in memory, P800 has got usually 8-9mb free memory when no apps are loaded.. )

If image doesn't fit to screen you will see scrollbars which can be used to view whole image section by section.

PS.If you don't want to use PE for anything else but viewing images don't install cliparts and fonts during installation process... PE will take less then 300kb of disk space without them.

Ok I have tried GIF, JPG and TIFF but they all look like crap... any ideas?

hmm? gif and tiff can't look like crap as those formats use loseless compression.
So they look after save exactly the same way you see them on screen.

Aren't you simply trying to save a nice, LARGE vector map as an image?
It will never work out... that's the beauty of vector maps that you can represent lines v.easily with v.low memory requirements and map can be resized to ANY size and still give you perfect quality.
Normal image won't get more details when it's zoomed...

I know that perfectly but if I have a big image with hi quality and then I watch the same picture on the p800 it should look perfect because I am not trying to zoom more, i am just trying to zoom to 100% since 100% is the real original size (of course a big picture would be zoomed just 10% to fit on the p800's screen but then you wouldn't be able to read it at all)

well, "perfect" is not the correct word as P800 screen is able to only display 4 bits per color component for 12bits per pixel total, while normal monitors display 8bits per color component/24bits per pixel.

But yes, picture quality should be fine, are you sure that after opening the same picture on PC you have got good quality? Did you try to open this file with photoshop or something?

It's impossibly that you lose image quality somewhere between PC and P800.

Yes I tried all of that, but it's not like I loose somewhere between PC and P800, I loose in the RepliGo conversion...

yup, that's correct.
I can't help you there.
