Hi, a new release with new features!
Live GPS Data: I had a bit of time traveling by train and getting bored. So I tackled the quite old ticket from the issue tracker. By reading NMEA data via TCP/IP I chose a quite flexible approach. You are not bound to a device connected physically to your computer. You can track one or several devices by internet connection. https://bitbucket.org/maproom/qmapshack/wiki/AdvRealtime Reorganize and enhance track information: The idea is to have screenshots with a nice track documentation around a track on a map. To get an idea have a look at the issue in the tracker: https://bitbucket.org/maproom/qmapshack/issues/434/mega-fancy-tour-description-on-screen To get this I had to add a new feature to add text to track points. This is different to attaching waypoints with the track. If you use waypoints you can add all kind of information. You want to do this when planning a tour as waypoints and tracks can be read by a GPS device. However after the tour you usually just want to mark some points of interest on the track and you want to have something like a legend listing all these points. That's what the new feature is about. Additionally I moved all menu items related to what information is shown for a highlighted track into a sub-menu. Making it more obvious how these functions are related. Of course Wolfgang already wrote some documentation on the topic: https://bitbucket.org/maproom/qmapshack/wiki/AdvTrkInfo There where also some contributions. Christoph donated a shortcut function to copy the coordinates of a waypoint into the clipboard. And Henri did quite some work to enhance the Geocache dialog. I also tried to update tp PROJ V6. However the migration is a real PITA and poorly conducted by the PROJ maintainers. That's why I still use the old V4 API. But I added all flags to make it compilable with the old API on version 6. Minimum version is now V5. Let's see if we can improve the situation in the next months. The PROJ maintainers vaguely promised to enhance something but I still got a bad feeling that it will need quite some code to get back the former functionality of PROJ. If anyone volunteers.... ;) Have fun with the release!
