csacsa Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 I'm running Mapsource ver 6.13.7. If I upgrade to City Navigator 2010 it will install a later version of Mapsource. Can I reinstall ver 6.13.7? Quote Link to comment
+Red90 Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 Yes, but 6.13.7 will not work with CN2010. Quote Link to comment
+splashy Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 Yes, you can. I have a program to reconvert 2010 maps to Mapsource 6.13 Quote Link to comment

+Red90 Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 Yes, you can. I have a program to reconvert 2010 maps to Mapsource 6.13 I know, I did not want to get into a complicated discussion. That application is quite buggy... I'm running Mapsource ver 6.13.7. If I upgrade to City Navigator 2010 it will install a later version of Mapsource. Can I reinstall ver 6.13.7? Why would you want to do this? Because there are still problems with 6.15.7 Quote Link to comment
csacsa Posted October 28, 2009 Author Share Posted October 28, 2009 Are you saying your revert program is buggy? i know the 6.15.7 is buggy. Quote Link to comment
+Red90 Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 Both are buggy.... Quote Link to comment
+Prime Suspect Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 I know it's not showing the transparent color on icons as being transparent. I handle that by simply ignoring it, since it has zero effect on the actual usage of the program. What other bugs are there? Quote Link to comment

The worst thing is the map projections that assume everyone lives at latitude 35.... Quote Link to comment

It's a compromise that has to be made in order to show a round world on a flat screen. Quote Link to comment

No it is not.... With 6.13.7, they use the latitude at the center of the current view to determine the pixel width. Thus in the center of the view, the display is not distorted and distorts more to the top and bottom. As you zoom in, the distortion decreases. In 6.14+, they have chosen to not adjust the width calculation and fix it to the width at latitude 35 degrees. This is unnacceptable for viewing at high latitudes. Go to Norway and see if you agree... Regardless of YOUR opinion, the Garmin Mapsource team has already agreed to fix the problem for the 6.16 release. Quote Link to comment
Motorcycle_Mama Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 Of course, there IS a solution to this. You know that, right Red90? You just need to move south a little. Sorry. Couldn't resist. I agree that the projection is awful in versions above 6.13.7. Quote Link to comment
