Hi Alexander,

the main problem of a feature comparison list is to know the features of
QLGT :) The plan is to implement all features I am using in QLGT as fast
as possible in QMS and drop everything else silently. Except someone is
asking for a feature explicitly and gives a good reason why it is of
general interest.

The lesson I learned over the years is that trying to implementing every
wish is consuming a lot of time and is making software bad as there will
be concept clashes. Plus you implement stuff and never receive a
feedback. Month later you find a bug in the code and you know no one
ever used that feature. Time wasted. Thus it's not my goal to make
QMapShack 1:1 feature compatible with QLGT.

And that is one of the reason why I changed the name. It will not be
QLandkarte 3.0.

Btw, features I plan to keep _out of_ QMS:

* Map export. I never used it in QLGT. I use the converters directly on
my local raster map files. You do this once and that's it. No need to
export small parts.
* Map referencing. This is just the task of another tool. For the time
being this is QLGT. Maybe I write some standalone application one day.
* Extended Geocaching support. There are many applications doing it better.
* WMS support. In all the years I did not find a source of WMS maps that
is really worth the problems this is causing.

Features that might be added if someone volunteers to add maintained code:

* Mapsforge maps. I had a look at their format. If you have a ready made
tile render lib it's ok. But I will not write that from scratch in c++.
* 3D: Everyone wants it, hardly no one uses it.
* Extended GPX data and other formats.
* ...

Maintained code means: It's wrapped in ifdefs. QMS must compile and work
with and without that stuff. As long as bugs and feature requests are
fixed the code will be mainstream. If support is dropped the feature is
dropped.

Concerning random placed maps: You can add as many paths to maps as you
want. But opening a file from anywhere on-the-fly will not work. I don't
know your system, but on mine data is sorted more or less by folders
grouping the data by what it is. Thus it's not that random after all.
