What's new in GPSMaster.NET (Former GPSMaster) 1.7.4564.1022
Nov 25, 2011
- Fixed a bug that displayed a wrong longitude when playing a track. Improved support for Google images. Edit track form now has the option to shift a track in 4 different ways to make it match the terrain elevation, start at the terrain elevation, be completely above terrain elevation or move every part below terrain elevation to terrain elevation.
New in GPSMaster.NET (Former GPSMaster) 1.6 (Nov 25, 2011)
- GPSMaster.NET will now show any airspaces you have crossed during your flight (if any airspaces are loaded!). The time and altitude of entering and leaving will be displayed together with information if you ascended into, descended below, flew straight into or flew straight out of the airspace.
- A new key has been added (default = '~' key, left of the '1' key) that will disable the depth for any track so eg if a track is partially below ground level (which can easily be the case when there are just a few meters difference between GPS recorded altitude and actual ground level) the part below groundlevel will normally not be visible. Pressing the '~' key will disable the depth and show the complete track, despite the fact it might below the surface (or behind a mountain).
- Added layers for Google Roadmap and Google Satellite images. Be patient though when downloading tiles for these layers as Google doesn't like it when you download too many tiles at once, when downloaded too many you will be blocked (not be able to download any more Google layer images) for a while but can resume later.
- Fixed a bug where on the Edit Waypoint form it would always show 'Latitude' and 'Longitude' even if the selected coordinate format uses '(Zone) Easting' and 'Northing'.
- Overall speed improvement.
New in GPSMaster.NET (Former GPSMaster) 1.5 (Nov 25, 2011)
- It was still possible to have the compass, windsock and globe disappear, this is fixed in this version by a complete redesign of that code module. When exporting tiles you will notice a big speed improvement and furthermore an overall speed improvement because of several code optimizations.
New in GPSMaster.NET (Former GPSMaster) 1.4 (Nov 25, 2011)
- Version 1.4 fixes some bugs/annoyances when running the program on a netbook with limited resolution.
New in GPSMaster.NET (Former GPSMaster) 1.3 (Nov 25, 2011)
- Version 1.2 had a small bug which caused the compass and windsock not to be displayed. This has been solved in this version.
New in GPSMaster.NET (Former GPSMaster) 1.2 (Nov 25, 2011)
- GPSMaster 1.2 has texture compression and pixel buffer objects offering faster loading of images and also more images displayed for a certain amount of memory. For systems not supporting shading languages these are automatically disabled, unfortunately a few features will therefore not be available.
New in GPSMaster.NET (Former GPSMaster) 1.1 (Nov 25, 2011)
- After a few weeks of development version 1.1 is now available for download. Biggest improvement is the use of different servers to download textures and elevation data from, these new servers are faster and more reliable than the ones used before. So expect an increase in download speed!
- The new version also makes uses of the OpenGL Shading Language which allows for new features like contour lines. A number of small bugs/annoyances have been fixed as well. The new version now uses xml files to describe the different layers instead of cfg files.
New in GPSMaster.NET (Former GPSMaster) 2.13.5 (Apr 8, 2011)
- Fixed bug that occured when trying to define user UTM grid
New in GPSMaster.NET (Former GPSMaster) 2.12.5 (Apr 8, 2011)
- Minor update to the way magnetic variation is handled
New in GPSMaster.NET (Former GPSMaster) 2.12.4 (Apr 8, 2011)
- Fixed a bug in USB cummunication protocol, GPS60CSx should now work again
- GPSMaster now supports importing of SeeYou .cup files
New in GPSMaster.NET (Former GPSMaster) 2.12.3 (Apr 8, 2011)
- Fixed a bug in the communication protocol which occured when uploading routes with the D201 route header (some older model GPS's)
- Improved communication over serial connection
New in GPSMaster.NET (Former GPSMaster) 2.12.2 (Apr 8, 2011)
- Fixed a bug in track upload over serial communication when using a GPS with the A300 Track Log Transfer Protocol
New in GPSMaster.NET (Former GPSMaster) 2.12.1 (Apr 8, 2011)
- Fixed a number of bugs in the serial communication protocol, these bugs would occur in older model Garmin GPS's which had their firmware updated
- Added a 'time to go' label to the up/download window, mainly handy when downloading tracks over serial communication
New in GPSMaster.NET (Former GPSMaster) 2.11.1 (Apr 8, 2011)
- Fixed a bug where symbols in Edit waypoint screen were gone (only text was shown), symbols are back again!
- Routes, Tracks and Waypoint can now be exported in GPX format, to export use normal save to file buttons and select the desired format under 'Save as type'
- Removed import menu item, to import just the normal load from file buttons and select the format you want to load under 'Files of type'
- Improved importing of gpx route files (color now also supported)
New in GPSMaster.NET (Former GPSMaster) 2.10.4 (Apr 8, 2011)
- Fixed some bugs related to communication with GPS, especially for older Garmin models
- Added a new feature in the edit track screen which lets you compress your tracks (reduce the number of track points in it), this is ideal if you want to upload tracks to a GPS that only supports tracks with a limited number of track points
- Optimized code
- Moved manual adjustment trackbar for maps from status bar to main screen
- When recording NMEA data to a track, feedback is now given in the status bar
New in GPSMaster.NET (Former GPSMaster) 2.10.3 (Aug 25, 2009)
- Fixed a recently during some rework introduced bug where you would get a ''No device! Is the GPS connected and switched on?''warning when clicking the GPS Info button and using serial communication
- Fixed some other minor bugs
New in GPSMaster.NET (Former GPSMaster) 2.9.3 (Aug 7, 2009)
- Changed the way maps are calibrated: first all 4 map calibration point need to be given a new coordinate before the calibration becomes active
- The Width and Height of an image can now directly be obtained by clicking a button in the 'Edit map' screen
- Not new but not wasn't documented yet : when a map is active pressing F1 to F4 will directly center and zoom in on the corresponding map calibration point (1 to 4)
- Improved overall speed in map view
- Cursor turns to hourglass when a map is being activated and when files are being loaded
- Corrected size of 'take' button in 'Enter new coordinate' screen
- Fixed bug in 'take' button function
- Zero size for width or height in 'Edit map' screen are not allowed anymore
