New versions of Garmin GPS firmware caused OziExplorer to give a "floating point error"
under certain circumstances when downloading waypoints, this has been fixed. Downloading
tracks under certain circumstances caused the same error but for a different reason, now fixed.
Fixed the edge affects that occurred on the 3D maps when using DTED and Grid ASCII DEM
files. The edge affects were visible when moving viewing across DEM boundaries.
Changes
General
To scroll the map by dragging with the mouse no longer requires the "Drag Map" button to be
depressed, the map can be dragged at any time.
The "Drag Map" button is now used to "Lock" and "Unlock" the dragging of map objects
(waypoints, map features .....).
OZF2
There have been many changes to how the OZF2 format is used. OziExplorer now generates
most of the zoom levels "on the fly" and they no longer need to be stored in the OZF2 file.
This results in considerably smaller files. Only the Zoom levels 20% and below are stored in
the OZF2 file.
Existing OZF2 files can still be used
- there is no change to the OZF2 file format. A new
version of the Img2Ozf converter is available
-
see the Img2OZF web page for details.
OziExplorer no longer displays scroll bars when using OZF2 files, the map can be scrolled by
dragging with the mouse or by using MapView.
3D
There has been a change in the way OziExplorer adds altitudes to waypoints and tracks when
using the 3D add-
an. Altitude is no longer automatically added when a waypoint or track point
is created or moved. There is a differing of opinion on how this should work -
example when
dragging a waypoint a short distance the original potentially more accurate altitude from the
GPS may want to be kept instead of being replaced by the DEM altitude. Altitudes can now be
added from the Waypoint and Track Lists -
the options are on the one of the drop down menu
buttons. Of course for any function in OziExplorer which requires the altitude (track profile or
sending to Ozi3D) the altitudes are still automatically added "on the fly" if there is no altitude.
Beta Version 3.90.4g

Additional changes to suit the "New" OziExplorer API just released (the link to the API is on

16 Million color (24bit) and grey scale png images can now be loaded.
Added the VICGRID map grid (for Victoria Australia).
The "Find Map from Entered Position" dialog now includes separate buttons for positioning
the point on the current map and finding maps which include the position.
