v4.6 - MSRMaps is back!
« on: June 23, 2012, 06:27:52 PM »

After announcing that MSRMaps.com (formerly Terraserver) will be closing permanently, the Microsoft has decided to keep the service alive.  They received enough requests from longtime users and folks that rely heavily on the service.  If you send a note in, thank you!

This has, in turn prompted us to release another revision that re-enables access to new MSRMaps tiles.  So the traditional Topo maps, B/W aerials (still useful!) and urban imagery for some cities, are all back!  The new USTopo layer is still available as well, so now there are three sources of Topo maps in Terraserver!  The array of maps available to TF users continues to grow...

v4.6 also fixed a bug created by the massive size of this year's Tour Divide race.  The Trackleaders spot replay interface had a problem replaying the current race.  Tour Divide is an exciting race that continues for weeks, so there is still time to get in on the action and do your own replays in TF.  Check out more at:

Trackleaders / TopoFusion.

I'm glad the MSRMaps are back! I found the overlaying feature of topo over the black & white aerials very useful to my scouting new land for bowhunting. Saddly, the MSRMaps have been written out of the combo blending feature. They are also gone from the batch loading feature.
I'm putting in a vote to replace that functionality in the next version.

You got it.  See v4.65 with combo and batch loading back on for the MSRmap tilesets.  Thanks for the comment!
