Changes made from version 6.0.2 Beta to 6.0.3 Beta:
Changed software version number from 6.0.2 beta to 6.0.3 beta.
Put technology into the auto-detection of devices to remember the last auto-detected device. Thus, if the user always has the same devices connected to the same ports, they should not have to search for their device more than once.
Added the ability to export waypoint categories to DXF and tab delimited text files.
Made modifications to the GDB file format to result in smaller file sizes.
Modified the importing of older format files to preserve the base name of the files in an effort to simplify the conversion process.
Changed medical facility symbol to a blue cross.
Added ability to receive tracks from the ForeRunner GPS.
Modified the way map labels were drawn for enhanced readability.
Changed keyboard shortcuts for “Show/Hide GPS Map Detail” and “Create New Track” and “Go To Position” back to the shortcuts used in MapSource 5.4 to alleviate user confusion.
Changed menu shortcut key for “Show/Hide GPS Map Detail” back to value used in MapSource 5.4.
Disabled the postal code entry field in map products that lack postal code support.
Changed behavior of map selection tool back to the way it worked in 5.4.
Added access to duplicate routes function in the context menu you get when right clicking on routes in the Routes tab.
Added code to make the auto-detection of devices more robust.
Added the ability to search for partial strings in the finder for feature search feature names and city search city names.
Fixed issue where MapSource would scroll back to the top of the list in the Waypoints, Routes, or Tracks pages after a modification was made to an item far down in a long list and the property page for that item was closed. Now, the program ensures that the selected item is visible in the list control after modifications.
Fixed issue where users would experience problems in data transfer between the application and certain GPS devices after aborting a transfer and then trying to send to the GPS immediately afterwards.
Fixed issue where the document title was not set back to Untitled if MapSource had a valid document open and it then failed when opening a different document, even though the document was empty.
Fixed issue where copyright string was not being correctly displayed on some map products.
Fixed issue where tab order was incorrect in Route Dialog.
Fixed issue where the waypoint properties for all waypoints would become inaccessible when a user had the category filter set to “No Category” and then opened a waypoint properties dialog and assigned the waypoint to a category and then clicked ok to close the dialog.
Fixed issue where the user would experience problems setting the time preferences in MapSource.
Fixed some specific issues where users could not find certain streets in the street selector of the finder.
Fixed issue where the finder’s “auto-complete” technology would automatically select the first item in the list when this is sometimes not the desired behavior.
Fixed issue where routes exported to GPS devices would become corrupted and unusable on the GPS.
Fixed issue where Lake Erie was not visible at certain zoom scales in America’s BlueChart v6.0.
Fixed issue where waypoint altitudes were not getting correctly set in some new waypoints when MapSource was in metric units.
Fixed issue where the auto-router would fail when doing certain routes involving the base-map.
Fixed issue where LPT ports would appear in the serial port list when in the select devices dialog.
