What's New in
Version 6.02 (9/13/2004)
- Added support for loading ADRG format
files.
- Added support for loading waypoint,
track, and route data from GPX (GPS
eXchange Format) files.
- Added support for editing the name,
type, and drawing style of multiple
selected features at a time in the
Digitizer tool (previously only a single
feature could be edited at a time).
- Added support for using vector features
with elevation when performing a view shed
analysis.
This allows you to add things
like buildings, fence lines, trees, etc.
and have them be used when generating your
view sheds. (Registered Version Only)
- Added support for rectifying vector
layers from the Overlay Control Center
(this is a right-click option just as it
is for raster layers).
- Added support for editing and deleting
vector features from the Search by Name
dialog.
- Added support for exporting loaded
vector data to the Arc Ungenerate format. (Registered
Version Only)
- Added support for exporting loaded point
and line data to GPX (GPS eXchange Format)
files. (Registered Version Only)
- Added support for saving and restoring a
view under the View menu. This will allow
you to save a viewport, then move around
the map looking at stuff, then return to
your saved point.
- Corrected hill shading for elevation
grids whose elevation samples are not in
meters.
- Made small gaps between raster files and
in downloaded TerraServer data be filled
in when exporting the data to new files. (Registered
Version Only)
- Reduced memory requirements when
creating high-resolution screen captures
and when exporting vector data to raster
formats like GeoTIFF, JPG, etc. (Registered
Version Only)
- Significantly reduced memory usage when
exporting a large area of TerraServer
data. (Registered Version Only)
- Significantly reduced memory usage when
exporting multiple MrSID files. (Registered
Version Only)
- Added support for the Gauss Krueger,
Eckert IV, and Gall Stereographic
projections.
- Added option under the GPS menu to allow
changing the color of the vessel.
- Added display of the PDOP and the number
of satellites used in a GPS solution on
the GPS information page when that
information is available.
- Made GPS velocity and bearing
information be used from units that only
output GPGGA and GPVTG NMEA sentences.
- Added option to GPS setup to specify an
offset value to add to all elevations to
allow them to match up with other maps.
- Added support for loading the ETOPO5
data set.
- Added support for loading position
information from TAB files for PNG images.
- Added option to only generate metadata
files like TAB and world files when
performing batch conversions. This
provides an easy and fast way to create
metadata files for a lot of images for use
in other software that requires such
files. (Registered Version Only)
- Fixed problems with exported 32-bit
vertical GeoTIFF files that have negative
elevation values. (Registered Version
Only)
- Made handling of errors when exporting
to GeoTIFF format more graceful. (Registered
Version Only)
- Corrected export to Arc ASCII Grid
format with non-whole elevation units,
like decimeters and centimeters. (Registered
Version Only)
- Made additional digits of elevation
precision be written to Arc ASCII Grid
files with small elevation ranges. (Registered
Version Only)
- Corrected the Pulkovo 1942 datum
transformation. It was off by a few meters
from the official transformation.
- Corrected the PERIMETER attribute for
area features to include the length of the
segment connected the first and last
point.
- Keep DXF attributes defined after all
features as their own point features.
- Reduced the memory required to store
features loaded with the File->Open
Generic ASCII Data File menu command.
- Added option to specify the JPG quality
setting when batch converting to JPG
format files. (Registered Version Only)
- Made color intensity modification (i.e.
lighten or darken) work for TerraServer
data.
- Added ability to generate iso-height
areas and min/max elevation points when
using the GENERATE CONTOURS script
command. (Registered Version Only)
- Fixed crash on some systems at the end
of the contour generation process.
- Added automatic recognition of DRGs in
the Oregon Lambert projection if they have
a USGS standard filename.
- Fixed loading of TerraServer DRG files
from Alaska.
- Fixed crash when loading an invalid JPG
file.
- Fixed problems with loading and properly
positioning some CADRG and CIB files.
- Fixed problems with point features just
outside of the specified export bounds
sometimes being exported when creating new
vector files. (Registered Version Only)
- Made most state plane projections be
saved when exporting ECW files. (Registered
Version Only)
- Fixed problems with grid lines not being
saved to exported raster files (i.e.
GeoTIFF, JPG, etc) if no other vector data
is loaded. (Registered Version Only)
- Improved progress display during lengthy
operations when capturing the screen to a
high-resolution image or exporting vector
data to a raster format like GeoTIFF or
JPG. (Registered Version Only)
