E.g. ~365km away, 14 previous dives A little harder, but I'm more concerned about space - here's already a ton of information there and depending on your window size things will get very crowded / overlapping - is more infomration always better?

I never experience this. Which OS / desktop environment are you using?

The rest are my wishlist. On it's way.

I think we'll start with a somewhat simplistic version of this. Getting this perfect and so that everyone likes it will be hard. /D _______________________________________________ subsurface mailing list [email protected] http://lists.subsurface-divelog.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/subsurface
