Bugs in 2.04
« on: June 24, 2004, 09:24:18 AM »
These are a few things I've noticed in this version, and they probably predate it as well.

1. When importing GPS data, the dialog window not resized properly to show the buttons (for me, none of the buttons are visible). This is a nightmare when trying to import GPS tracks since you have to select which ones you want to download.

2. The column headings for Northing and Easting in the Waypoints Tab of the File Properties are reversed. (In addition, it seems like N and E would be more useful on the main screen when UTM coords are used than Y and X. Also, putting in the fractions serves no useful purpose and makes the N and E harder to read/copy. Actually, I like the method used by some map makers to make part of the number in a larger font to aid reading.

We've tried to address these in the 2.05 beta.  Please let us know if the dialog resizing works now (it always did for us!)

I agree on the UTM coords, check 2.05.  I'll see what I can do about making some digits larger, I think it's a good idea.

Thanks for the change. However, now the real time update of the coordinates is messed up after viewing in 3D mode. Switch to 3D mode, then back to 2D, then using the hand tool move the map. I'm getting negative 1 in both E and N boxes (the lat long is messed up as well, perhaps this problem predates 2.05).

After letting my GPS dry out, the dialog box works fine now. I can see what those buttons were now! I forgot to mention in the first post that there was no way to resize the window horizontally, so I could not access the buttons other than tabbing. I was kind of wondering what the buttons were doing. Thanks.
