Gunamoi Software

Release Date: August 2013

The following main features were added or changed in version 2.2:

Lite Features (free)

• If the user selects a location from the Major City Selection tool, the name of that site will now be labelled on the map.
• The Enter AMG Coordinates tool has been updated to allow the user to specify the original datum of the AMG coordinates.  These may be AMG66, AMG84, or current MGA94.  The AMG coordinates are then correctly converted to WGS84 latitude & longitude used by GreatCirc.  Note that GreatCirc only displays latitude & longitude to 1 second accuracy.

Pro Features (registered)

• New "Save Path..." menu item allows the currently displayed path to be saved to an output file as a string of points, in a choice of formats including Google Earth compatible KML format.  When on a Great Circle tab, the Great Circle path is saved.  When viewing the Rhumb Line tab, the Rhumb Line path is saved.  And when viewing the Coverage tab, the edge of coverage Circle is saved to file.
• If the user selects a location from the User Site Selection tool, the name of that site will now be labelled on the map.
• If the user has selected named sites from Major City Selection or User Site Selection, these names will now also appear in the Save Report output file.
• User Site Selection tool now allows the user to pick sites (Placemarks) from KML format files, as used by Google Earth.
• Batch Mode will now allow users to load and display data from KML format files, as used by Google Earth.  Placemarks are labeled, and LineStrings are plotted, other KML data are ignored.
• In Batch Mode, the user may now save any loaded map data to a KML format file.  Combined with the ability to load and merge data from KML, GPX, AMG and MapList files, this provides a limited capability to convert files in these other formats into a KML output file for sharing with Google Earth users.
• While GreatCirc does not use altitude information from GPX or KML files, this data is now preserved in case the user saves to a KML output file in Batch Mode.
• If there is a problem loading a map data file in Batch Mode, now only the data from the offending file is lost, and any previously loaded data is retained.
• New items in the Options menu of Batch Mode allow the user to control display of labels and place markers.
• Report output files now show latitudes & longitudes to 4 decimal places.
• The AMG input file format now includes a command to specify the correct Datum for the AMG coordinates in the file.

Bug Fixes & Other Refinements

• Fix bug in Major City and User Site selection tool so that alphabetical sorting of names is no longer case dependent.
• Fix bug in Globe World View where the view suddenly jumps back to Greenwich meridian after unzoom.
