Des har gett oss en något för tidig julklapp i och med att OziCE 2.23d har släppts idag. Massor av förbättrringar bl a 3D och anchor alarm.
Changes
* This version should be more stable than version 2.22
* Added 3D perspective view - this rotates the top of the map down using a true perspective view and provides for more map view ahead.
o This is just a display feature, the map cannot be manipulated in this mode.
o For the 3D perspective to be displayed the gps must be connected and tracking, OziExplorerCE must be in "Course Up" mode and the zoom level greater than 70%.
o The options for this are on the View / Map Display menu and buttons are available in the Screen Designer.
o 3 look ahead modes are provided 1.5, 1.75 and 2, The larger the look ahead more resources are need to render the image.
o The page files provided for download have a 3D button added to page 1.
* Added analogue gauges - most parameters can be displayed as either a digital read out (normal) or as an analogue gauge.
o Version 2.23 of the Screen Designer can design analogue gauges.
o The page files provided for download have a page showing some example analogue gauges.
* Faster map indexing - at least 10 times faster when tested on my PDA's.
* Faster startup - OziExplorerCE loads up quicker.
* Faster track loading from file.
* Faster route loading from file.
* Faster screen rotation - when changing from landscape to portrait mode or back again OziExplorerCE changes much quicker.
* Fixed gps connection issues with Samsung Omnia i900 - now works very well with this phone/pda.
* The last route used is now loaded from file (assuming it was saved to a file) - the setting for this is in "General Settings" configuration.
* Fixed bug in loading of large waypoint files.
* The double click time when double clicking on waypoints (and other objects) to open the menu has been extended to 0.3 seconds (from 0.2 seconds) - you don't have to click so fast.
* Anchor alarm components have been added - these are not included on the standard screens but can be added using the Screen Designer.
o The anchor alarm units are only set in meters at this stage.
o The anchor alarm position and zone are drawn on the map.
o The alarm is sounded by playing the sound file "Anchor_Alarm.wav" (not supplied) (or default.wav if it does not exist).
* New Screen Designer (version 2.23) is available.
