What's New in Version 10.02 (January 28, 2009)

* Added ability to easily create strike-and-dip points by right-clicking in the Digitizer Tool. You can now
place your strike-and-dip points and specify the dip value, azimuth angle, and symbol to use and get the
appropriate symbology displayed on the map.

* Added support for adding custom area fill styles from image files. New fill styles can be added on the Area
Styles tab of the Configuration dialog.

* Added support for rotating point symbols by a user-specified angle. This option is on the Point Styles tab
of the Configuration dialog as well as on the edit dialogs for point features.

* Added option to the Digitizer Tool to calculate the minimum, maximum, and average elevation values within
selected area features.
(Registered Version Only)

* Added support for specifying that lines should draw a particular number of meters in width. Line width
selections on the Line Styles tab of the Configuration dialog and anywhere else that you setup a line drawing
style now include an option to specify a fixed width in meters for the line.

* Added new right-click options to the Area Styles, Line Styles, and Point Styles tabs of the Configuration
dialog to allow saving the current style settings to a file and restoring style settings from a file.

* Added new ASSIGN_TYPE command to the scripting language to allow classifying loaded vector features based
on one or more attribute/display label value queries.
(Registered Version Only)

* Added support for loading SOSI format files (commonly used in Norway).

* Added ability to easily shift loaded data by some fixed distance by right clicking on them in the Control
Center and selecting a new option to shift the selected layer(s).

* Made batch conversion remember the last used import and export formats as well as the last used settings for
a previously used import/export format combination.
(Registered Version Only)

* Made GPX files with links pointing to local image files behave just like JPG files with EXIF positioning
data and show the image when you click on the point with the Feature Info tool. The linked images will also
export to KMZ files.

* Added new Slope Direction shader to allow coloring loaded terrain files by the direction that the slope
faces (the coloring can be setup on the Shader Options tab of the Configuration dialog). You can also now
export slope direction values to Float/Grid files.

* Added option to batch converter to add a watermark image.
(Registered Version Only)

* Added new option to only display area labels when the label is completely contained within the parent area
to the Vector Display tab of the Configuration dialog.

* Made the option to display selected feature measurements (including combined values) in the Digitizer/Edit
Tool work even if only line features are selected.
(Registered Version Only)

* Added ability to display any custom 'elevation' units string that you want on the elevation legend by
right-clicking on the legend and selecting the option to specify a custom unit string.

* Added support for exporting to DeLorme track and waypoint formats.
(Registered Version Only)

* Added support for exporting loaded area and line features to ZMap XYSegId text files.
(Registered Version Only)

* Added option when generating Global Mapper Package files to store each layer in its native projection rather
than in the current view projection or in lat/lon/WGS84.
(Registered Version Only)

* Added new option to the Vector Display tab of the Configuration dialog to always show vertices for features
selected with the Digitizer/Edit Tool. This makes it easier to edit the vertices of area and line features
without being overwhelmed by displaying all feature vertices.

* Allowed rasterization of vector data to any size to exported image file (previously you were limited by the
largest bitmap that could be allocated on your system).
(Registered Version Only)

* Added built-in support for the Wisconsin County coordinate systems.

* Added built-in support for Deir Ez Sor, Egypt Gulf of Suez S-650 TL, Estonia 1997, FD 1958, Herat North,
ISN93, Jordan, Korean 1985, Korean 1995, Ocotepeque (Costa Rica), Reykjavik 1900, and Trinidad 1903 datums.

* Added built-in support for the Clarke 1858, Danish 1876 and Clarke 1880 (IGN) ellipsoids.

Earth (code 3785).

* Fixed problem with Dutch (RD) datum transformations in the v10.01 release.

* Added support for decoding Bonne projections from OziExplorer .map files.

* Added support for decoding projection names from ECW files stored as EPSG:epsg_code in the projection name
and also encode unknown projections that way in exported ECW files.

* Improved accuracy of KKJ datum conversions and added KKJ projection EPSG codes.

* Added option to Path Profile/Line of Sight dialog when matching the elevation scale to the draw scale to
allow users to enter a vertical exaggeration to apply.

* Added new batch conversion option to skip existing output files.
(Registered Version Only)

automatically applied for reprojection or resampling.
(Registered Version Only)

* Added new batch conversion option to minimize the main window while the conversion is running.
(Registered Version Only)

* Updated batch conversion to not report any errors in the conversion until all conversions have been
completed. This prevents a batch conversion operation from stalling in the middle waiting for a user to clear
an error message.
(Registered Version Only)

* Updated the set position dialog to have an elevation field when editing the location of a single vertex from
a 3D line or area feature using the Digitizer Tool.

* Added options when gridding exports to break each row (or column if naming is reversed) into its own folder
as well as an option to not place an underscore between each piece of the export filename.
(Registered Version Only)

* Improved decoding of waypoints from GPS TrackMaker .gtm files. An appropriate symbol should now be assigned
if possible and the correct naming is now used.

* Don't use EXIF information from JPG files if you open the files with the File->Rectify Imagery menu command
to force rectification.

* Fixed crash when loading Terrascan .bin files from v10.01 release.

* Added a new option when batch converting to Float/Grid format files to export slope values rather than
elevations.
(Registered Version Only)

* Updated the DXF export to use the Elevation Display/Export Units setting on the Vertical Options tab of the
Configuration dialog to determine whether to export feet or meters for elevation values derived from loaded
terrain data during export.
(Registered Version Only)

* Updated Google Maps exports to use a separate folder for each row in a particular zoom level to avoid
overloading a single Windows folder with more files than it can efficiently handle.
(Registered Version Only)

* Fixed bug with slope values written out to Float/Grid files being slightly smaller than they should be,
especially in very steep areas.
(Registered Version Only)

* Fixed problem with incorrect slope values of 0 being written out to Float/Grid format files in some cases.
(Registered Version Only)

* Fixed problem with KML_ZOOM_SCALE_FACTOR script parameter not working.
(Registered Version Only)

* Added support for overriding the default naming convention for Lidar class names using a lidar_classes.txt
file enumerating Lidar classes and the new name to use for those classifications.

* Fixed problems with some features being missing when loading some ESRI personal geodatabase (.mdb) files,
like those from the NHD.

* Updated KML import to support color specified for icons.

* When batch converting files that are loaded in the main map view with contrast adjustment enabled, use the
contrast adjustment settings of the loaded files during the conversion.
(Registered Version Only)

* Added support for loading clutter and height files similar to MSI Planet but with .cl or .he extensions and
a List file rather than a Index file.

* Added new option to Google Maps and Virtual Earth exports to allow skipping existing tiles. This provides a
mechanism for restarting cancelled exports or just updating part of a data set.
(Registered Version Only)

* Improved compression ratio achieved in LZW-compressed GeoTIFF files.
(Registered Version Only)

* Fixed problem exporting Shapefiles split by layer/description when the layer/description includes special
characters.
(Registered Version Only)

* Allow the Control Center dialog to be resized to be more narrow.

* Added option when batch converting from USGS DRG files with accompanying FGD metadata files to use the quad
name from the FGD filename as the output filename.
(Registered Version Only)

* Drastically sped up the loading of Canada3D files.

* Updated distance/bearing input dialog to allow bearings to be specified with formats other than decimal
degrees (like DMS, DM, etc.).

* Added new option to the Options menu on the Path Profile/LOS dialog to allow modifying the start distance for
the distance scale in the path profile graph.

* When gridding during export and using a letter to name rows and/or columns, keep the letter as lower case if
it was originally specified that way.
(Registered Version Only)

* Fixed problem with default line simplification not being applied during contour generation unless you
actually click on the Simplification tab.

* When gridding to selected area features, allow the overlap setting to be applied if you are just cropping to
the bounds of each area feature.
(Registered Version Only)

* Corrected half-pixel shift in the placement of loaded GXF files.

* Fixed problem reading palette color labels with spaces in them from .pal files.

* Made the shot point number field in exported SEG-P1 files be right-justified.
(Registered Version Only)

* Increased the number of recently opened files that are remembered on the File menu from 4 to 6.

* Made the Search->Search by Attributes dialog always display the current number of selected items.

* Added option to feather blend to the outside of a polygonal boundary rather than to the inside.

* Added option to generate ERS files when doing elevation-format BIL exports.
(Registered Version Only)

* Allowed cropping a raster layer to multiple selected polygons when using the Cropping tab on the options
dialog for the layer.

* Fixed error reading some MapInfo MIF/MID format files.

* Added support for .jgwx as a JPG world file extension.

* Made the dialog displayed when editing multiple features at the same time be resizable.

* Updated the create/flatten terrain from areas option of the Digitizer Tool when treating the area elevations
as relative to the ground perform the relative adjustment of the terrain at each sample location within the
area rather than picking a single representative elevation for the entire area. This is useful for adjust all
elevation values within an area feature by some amount.

* When loading files that have contrast adjustment automatically applied, make them use a shared contrast
adjustment by default. This makes loading multiple high color (i.e. 16-bit per color channel) files adjust them
consistently automatically rather than doing a separate adjustment for each image.
