Hello Folks
Here is the mtrack release for everyone.
Compared to the last version that I released, this one has:
- New, bigger maps. These new ones are 780 * 400 pixels, the old ones were
640 * 400 pixels. The aspect ratio of the new maps is much better.
- More satellite categories.
- Latest NASA two line elements has been added, giving lots of satellites.
- A lot more DX Locations, over 800 in fact.
- No limits on the number of satellites and DX locations in the program.
- Bug fixes.
The only problem with the new maps is that they are made with what appears
to be the same data that I used to create the originals, so Germany is
still divided into two, Czechoslovakia still exists, Yugoslavia is one big
happy country, etc. And the worst one for me, the western border of
Switzerland is missing.
This is not intentional, its just the data that I have :-(
Apart from bug fixes, this will be the end of the line for the development
of version 0.2. I will now turn my attention to multiple satellites,
adding the Sun and Moon and maybe even the Kansas City Tracker.
The program can be found on ftp.hes.iki.fi in /pub/ham/unix/satellites or
something similar as mtrack-0.2.tar.gz.
