Notes:
50. Significant refactor of GPX I/O code. Need extensive testing with lots of foreign
GPS imports, if you please.
59. We could use a volunteer to edit the entire harmonic.idx and harmonic files with a good Unicode
editor to fix up some broken place names. Please see FlySpray #106
61. By request. Simply put a file "ownship.xpm" in the Usericons shared data directory. This becomes your ownship icon.
67. Minor change in
BSB quilting logic. May be a performance hit, probably acceptable.
Provides better chart rendering on mouse pans and zooms.
68. The problem here was the arrival ETA when it was crossing month boundary.
73. By request, good idea. Could use some suggestions regarding wording of Toolbox->AIS option legend.
Interesting note: Today I transited
New York Harbor. At one time there were 127 live AIS targets, virtually all with a CPA of
less than 2.0 NM. Lively
screen display, to say the least. Happy to have the Acknowledge Timeout function.
Also, the US Coast Guard was enforcing 175 yard
security keepout zone around the United Nations building.
Nice application for the
radar range ring display.
Happy testing, and good luck
Dave
