Hi everyone!

We have updated our Map Generator server today and that means some new 
features for everyone.
Next to a few minor bugfixes there are three new major features:

SeeYou CUP:
Previously you have been able to pass a Cambridge/WinPilot DAT file to 
the Map Generator and it would compute the map boundaries automatically. 
The same works now too for SeeYou CUP files! If you choose this option 
the waypoint file will actually be embedded in the map file, so you 
don’t even have to load a seperate waypoint file anymore

Compressed topography:
Where size matters, compression is a useful thing, so we implemented a 
user option to enable compression for the topography data. The map file 
size will be reduced by around 60% when enabling this option, but keep 
in mind that in this case XCSoar needs to decompress the data while 
drawing the topography, which might lead to a slightly slower system.

Level of detail:
You may now choose how much topography features would like to have in 
your map. Depending on the population in you area it might make sense 
not to include every single village but only the big cities or in other 
areas exactly that data is needed because bigger cities are further away.

All of the data generated in your IT infrastructure is seriously valuable.
Why? It contains a definitive record of application performance, security 
threats, fraudulent activity, and more. Splunk takes this data and makes 
sense of it. IT sense. And common sense.
