So, here it is - a new version of PolarView is out.<br />
<br />
Version 0.7 adds:<br />
- BSB raster chart support including quilting<br />
- ability to control chart cell display individually (which comes in handy when you have a few thousand charts loaded  <img src="/fbb/images/smilies/smile.gif" alt="" />  )<br />
<br />
As always, download from <a href="http://www.polarnavy.com/main/download" title="http://www.polarnavy.com/main/download" target="_blank">http://www.polarnavy.com/main/download</a><br />
<br />
<br />
We look forward to your feedback  <img src="/fbb/images/smilies/smile.gif" alt="" />  ]]></description><pubDate>Sun, 19 Jul 2009 04:40:13 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[PolarView 0.6 is out]]></title><link>http://www.macsailing.net/fbb/showtopic.php?tid/759</link><guid isPermaLink='false'>http://www.macsailing.net/fbb/showtopic.php?tid/759</guid><description><![CDATA[ It's been over a month since the last release of PolarView. We've been hard at work making it slightly more useful. <br />
<br />
A new "unofficial" release is currently available in download section on <a href="http://www.polarnavy.com" title="www.polarnavy.com." target="_blank">www.polarnavy.com.</a> The release is primarily aimed at making PolarView a proper "chart planning" application. <br />
<br />
Main new features include:<br />
 - Support for routes and waypoints (manager, visual editing)<br />
  - Great circle or rhumb line routing<br />
  - Distance/bearing measurement in true or magnetic degrees<br />
  - Import/export route and waypoint data to GPX and CSV files<br />
  - Improved chart scaling<br />
<br />
We have also restored Mac OS 10.4 (Tiger) compatibility which was lost somewhere along the way <img src="/fbb/images/smilies/smile.gif" alt="" /><br />
<br />
Because this release brings so much new functionality, you are pretty much guaranteed to encounter bugs. Please let us know - your feedback makes this product work! We hope to collect user reports and have a maintenance release out relatively soon.<br />
<br />
With all the new functionality online help is still lacking. Until it is available, please consider this our own test of usability. Shift and Command keys, as well as right click "do things"  <img src="/fbb/images/smilies/smile.gif" alt="" />  Feedback on usability is particularly important to us.<br />
<br />
Cheers! ]]></description><pubDate>Tue, 26 May 2009 03:01:17 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Looking for testers - reloaded]]></title><link>http://www.macsailing.net/fbb/showtopic.php?tid/722</link><guid isPermaLink='false'>http://www.macsailing.net/fbb/showtopic.php?tid/722</guid><description><![CDATA[ Looking for testers to kick tires of yet another application.<br />
<br />
PolarCOM is an integrated NMEA 0183 marine navigation instrument data bridge and multipurpose data display. Available for Apple Mac OS X and Windows systems, it provides:<br />
<br />
* Support for multiple NMEA 0183 data sources and instrument types<br />
* TCP and UDP network server support permits sharing your NMEA 0183 data with network-enabled navigation software. <br />
* NMEA data logging and replay capability<br />
* Customizable set of digital instruments for data display, providing virtually infinite combinations of views (which actually look half decent)<br />
<br />
The current version is 0.1 ALPHA That means - it probably has a personal bug for each of you  <img src="/fbb/images/smilies/smile.gif" alt="" />  )<br />
<br />
We are very much interested in feedback - in particular on types of information (both NMEA data and display values) you are most interested to see added next.<br />
