| With some Garmin GPS devices, tracks (not waypoints/routes) were not being saved correctly. Now fixed. |

| It is a peculiarity of Ordnance Survey GML files (MasterMap) that the bounding box (the geographic extent) as described in the file's header can be substantially smaller that the actual extent of the data. This is particulary pronounced in small extracts. This meant that when Map Maker imported GML files it could ignore and loose some of the polygons around the edge. Map Maker has now been modified so that none of the data is lost. |

Map Maker has been modified to cope better with large JPG images which before could result in a "bitmap refresh failed" message.
Note that when using large colour images, such as aerial photos, we recommend using ECW files since they load much faster. When using large (or small) black and white images, such as scanned paper maps, we recommend using TIF images (one-bit monochrome or 8-bit grayscale). JPG and ECW give poor results for black and white images. |

Thank you so much for the latest update. I can't believe how quickly files are loading now. This has made such a big difference to my map making.
Cheers, Lee |

Thank you for the upgrades Eric.
Hope your Spring is a good one on the West.
My regards, Bill. |

| Ordnance Survey GML files (MasterMap) should include a bounding box in the header. It has been found that some files are missing this data, so Map Maker has been modified to cope with such files. |

| DXF files are meant to have a header which lists all the layers used in the DXF file. Some dont. Some list layers that are different from those actually used. Map Maker has been modified so that when DXF files are imported, if no layers are selected then all layers will be imported irrespective of whether the layers are listed in the header. |

1. Yesterdays TIFF error fixed.
2. If the "embankment" effect is chosen for a line, and the line is given a width in "metres on the ground", then then width of the embankment will now also be in metres on the ground.
3. Increasingly, people are putting MM and MM projects on USB memory sticks. Since there is no telling what drive letter will be assigned when an USB device is used there can be confusion if MM finds a style file on another drive of a name which was previously assigned to a diffent USB device. Now MM always looks for the project style file on the drive currently used by the project. |

| Under "Edit - Live layer options" a new option has been added: "Show label locators when editing". By default this option is ticked, but if you untick it then when editing an object in the live layer the circular label locator will be hidden making it easier to edit the actual object. Otherwise, in some sitiations, such as when editing a symbol's location or orientation, the label locator can get in the way. |

| For label options, both for vector layers and the live layer, there is now an additional option to display the label as the coordinates of the label point as lat/long in degrees, minutes, and seconds. Clearly the current project projection has to be set up to the projection that you want. |

| When clicking on an object with the Data tool a dialogue box appears. Now, when this box is resized by dragging its boundary, string fields are resized to show the maximum amount of text so avoiding long strings being truncated unnecessarily. |

| An additional action has been added under the "Tidying" section of "Vector actions" (and "Live layer actions") called "Line intersections as points", so if you have a set of lines that cross each other, or themselves, those intersection points are returned as point objects. |

| The last addition to vector actions inadvertently resulted in some of the other actions disappearing. These have now been reinstated. |

A new action has been added to convert points to arrows, see:
Utilities - vector utilities - actions - [choose file] - basic operations - points to arrows. |

| A problem had crept in with calibrating jpeg images which involved any roation (typically two point calibration) which resulted in a white image. This has now been fixed. |
