Terrain Navigator Pro 10.42 Readme 10/05/2015 Introduction ============ We welcome you to experience Terrain Navigator Pro: the most comprehensive set of digital topographic maps, aerial photos, and software tools available. Release Notes ============= --------------------------------------------------------------------- Changes/Improvements Found in version Terrain Navigator Pro 10.4x --------------------------------------------------------------------- Unit Preferences: We've completely reworked the way units are specified and displayed throughout Terrain Navigator Pro. In previous versions, there was little control if a specific display would be in feet or meters, and support for alternative units (like surveyors chains) was limited. Now with Unit Preferences you can specify a primary and secondary unit for use in computing/displaying length, height, and area. Web Planner: Log into your account at http://www.terrainnavigator.com to access and edit projects stored on the TNP Cloud. This is the same as using Project Synchronization to link desktop projects with the TNP Mobile App. However, not only can these projects be viewed and used on a smartphone, they can be accessed using any web browser. Trimble Leap GNSS Receiver RINEX file processing: Found in the GPS menu, under Utilities a new option has been added for Trimble Leap RINEX Conversion. This allows the "raw" files saved from the TNP Mobile App generated from a Trimble Leap GNSS Receiver to be converted into RINEX for further processing and review. This feature requires an Trimble Leap GNSS Receiver as well as an active subscription to the Trimble Leap Connect Service. Other updates include a variety of minor improvements, a corrected PLSS/TSR database (for proper display of quarter-quarter quads in certain states), and updated aerial photos for 24 states (with faster servers to deliver them.) --------------------------------------------------------------------- Changes/Improvements Found in version Terrain Navigator Pro 10.3x --------------------------------------------------------------------- Hi Precision Coordinates: When used in conjunction with the Trimble Leap GNSS Receiver, Terrain Navigator Pro can now display coordinates with increased accuracy. Each information and coordinate entry area will display a GPS symbol when high-precision information is received. Hold the mouse over the GPS symbol to display the collection method and other statistics. Updates: The PLSS/TSR township/range grid and coordinate system has been completely revamped. The optional land ownership and parcel data has been updated. Finally, the magnetic variance model uses the 2015 NOAA calculation. Polygon Improvements: We have added polygons to the legend page block in the Print (and export) window. You can now illustrate all of the colors, patterns and features available in Polygons on the map legend. You can now right-click on an overlay and create a polygon from that overlay object. Improvements to Layers and Projects: Various incompatibilities with GeoPins have been addressed to be more reliable when used with the TNP Mobile App. The mouse cursor now works more consistently when editing a route. All the routes, markers, and tracks within a project can now be exported into a single KML or GPX file using File, Export, Active Project. In the Enterprise Edition, the ability to specify a team has been added to the New Project wizard. The warnings on startup of Terrain Navigator Pro that indicate registration issues or invalid Internet connections have been clarified. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Changes/Improvements Found in version Terrain Navigator Pro 10.2 --------------------------------------------------------------------- Land Ownership Parcels: Now available as a separate "tier" to the annual subscription. Display and search land ownership throughout the state by APN, owner, and address. Additional features include the ability to convert parcel outlines to polygons, closed routes/tracks, and markers (of their center position.) Parcels can be sent to the GPS or synchronized with the TNP Mobile App. The parcel ownership tier can be added to your subscription by calling 800-627-7236. New Project Wizard: makes creating and synchronizing projects between desktop and mobile easier than before. The Grid Line Colors for custom grids on topographic maps and aerial photos can now be adjusted. Those using Terrain Navigator Pro Enterprise Edition to track their teammates may now set the name to be displayed in a variety of formats. For example: Firstname, Firstname/Lastname, First Initial/Lastname Username, and a variety of other options. We corrected compatibility issues with: NGS data sheets, shapefile overlays, the GPS Setup Wizard, as well as other minor improvements throughout the software. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Changes/Improvements Found in version Terrain Navigator Pro 10.1 --------------------------------------------------------------------- Many improvements to Team Tracking (Enterprise Edition). When team members are removed from a team, they are also removed from the team tracking window. When "finding" routes that have been hidden from view, the route will be automatically unhidden. When an SOS is received, the messages window will automatically come forward. New status displays for Low Battery and Poor GPS signal. Waypoint numbering has been improved. Now allows offline use legacy (Pryme, InfinityGear) team tracking hardware. The Subscription and User Account Preference now indicates the expiration date for the subscription portion of each state. Support for dual monitor systems has been increased. Printing, Publishing and Exporting Improvements. A new print template, Basic GIS has been added. The copyright text imbedded on small image exports is sized appropriately. Fixes for BMP and JPG export in Export Active Map (and Export Multiple Maps.) CTRL-C restored as keyboard shortcut to copy the map image to the clipboard. Layer Improvements. Fixed Range Ring to Track creation when set by time is used for range ring spacing. Fixed editing of Route waypoint symbols enabling route waypoint names. Fixed reliability of Track Information window. Improved compatibility with certain KMZ/KML files imported as Overlays. Increased reliability of copying aerial photos to the hard drive. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Changes/Improvements Found in version Terrain Navigator Pro 10.0 --------------------------------------------------------------------- Enterprise Edition Licensing. Now you can customize your Terrain Navigator Pro installation to meet the needs of your organization. Freely synchronize projects among multiple users of desktop clients and the TNP Mobile App via the TNP Cloud. Create teams and track their mobile positions in real time. Note that a special Enterprise license is required - call us at 877-587-9004 to find out the details. The Enterprise Edition also replaces the former Terrain Navigator Pro Network Edition. A new registration and account system has been created. This, along with a new installer wizard, makes transferring your Terrain Navigator Pro license (and subscription renewals) much easier. A new preference for Subscription and User Account has been added to provide (and change) the login information for access to your TNP Mobile App. We've improved the aerial photo display. It's faster than ever, and more reliable when used on wireless Internet connections. There are new tools to convert routes and tracks to polygons. Right click on a route or track, and select Create Polygon. The Export Maps feature has been reworked to increase compatibility with GeoTIFF images. The Place Finder database for locating geographic features (City/Towns, Airports, Lakes, etc.) has been updated. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Changes/Improvements Found in version 9.51 (or earlier) ---------------------------------------------------------------- For a list of changes made prior to version 10.0, please contact us or see the "What's New" topic in the electronic Help manual.
