New MapSource version

[codetalker]

Hey kids - I noted today that there is a new MapSource update posted on the Garmin website.

 

http://www.garmin.com/cartography/mapSource/download.html

 

The version is 4.10 and the date of the revision is 12/13/02.

This looks pretty cool.

 

Added new waypoint symbols (contacts) for Rino

A cautionary note (see update description on Garmin site)

 

"...Updated the version of the MPS file format to 1.04. Note that MPS files saved using 4.10 are not backward compatible with previous

versions of MapSource. ..."

Looking over the description on the Garmin updates, didn't look like much new. Anyone find the update useful?

Changes made from version 4.10 to 4.11:

 

Changed software version number from 4.10 to 4.11.

Modified code to improve performance of data transfers to GPS unit.

Fixed several defects associated with the handling of Asian characters.

Fixed problem where hovering over the print icon did not show a tooltip.

Fixed bug where route headings were being exported incorrectly.

Fixed bug where scrollbar on the real time tracking page was not always displayed when it should have been.

Modified creation of the waypoint description so that it used the name of the nearest feature, if any, or a date/time stamp if no feature name is available. MapSource 4.10 always inserted an English language data/time stamp in this field.

Fixed bug where MapSource would crash if it could not correctly read in the value for Grid, Datum, or Heading written to the registry by an older version of MapSource.
