What's new in Route Generator 1.7

Feb 16, 2015
  • You can now select a delay in seconds to add before the beginning or after the end of the generated movie.
  • It's now possible to select FFmpeg as movie generator on Windows, instead of bmp2avi (on Linux FFmpeg was already the default). However, to use it, you will have to download and install it manually (see instructions in the Tutorial)
  • Route Generator now supports the new interface of Google Maps.

New in Route Generator 1.6 (May 8, 2012)

  • New features in this version:
  • Route editable (selected points can be moved or deleted)
  • Redo buffer
  • Codec selection for video encoding under linux
  • Installation command for linux
  • Improvements of edit dialog for vehicle settings
  • Vehicle orientation (yes/no) is now a setting
  • Deleting files in directory when not empty (when generating movie)
  • Adding custom vehicles from vehicle settings dialog

New in Route Generator 1.5 (Jan 23, 2011)

  • The following features have been added or improved:
  • Route generation improvements (smooth route)
  • Start new route button on toolbar
  • Vehicle orientation improved
  • Dialog to set vehicle settings (icon size and orientation)
  • Generate iconless begin/end frames checkbox moved to preferences dialog
  • Google maps importer fix (map now scrollable and zoomable)

New in Route Generator 1.4 (Jan 23, 2011)

  • This version contains the possibility to import a map from Google Maps to use as background map for your route (see Help->Tutorial for further explanation).

New in Route Generator 1.3.1 (Jan 23, 2011)

  • In this minor update a few issues have been resolved:
  • Automatic curve generation (in interpolation mode) did't work as expected and caused problems with sharp angles in the route (e.g. when going back on the same route). This problem has not been fixed, yet, but this feature has been disabled for now. Optionally this feature can be re-enabled through a new "Advanced" tab in the Route Generator Preferences.
  • The "Advanced" tab also contains settings to control the update rate of the vehicle orientation.
  • Draw mode will automatically be disabled when clicking on "Playback" or "Generate", to make sure that the route is interpolated first (in interpolation mode).
  • First click on the map (after activating "Draw mode"), is now painted on the map as well.
  • Route Generator installation now happens through an installer file, instead of manually extracting a zip-file.

New in Route Generator 1.3 (Jan 23, 2011)

  • This version contains the following new features:
  • Variable route speed and automatic interpolation
  • Bmp2Avi preferences (e.g. selecting different codec or frame rate of generated avi)
  • Undo while drawing route (redo not implemented, let me know if you think it's useful)
  • Select different line styles for your route
  • Extended tutorial with new features (see Help->Tutorial)
