Enhancement history of TP - the GPS based Turnpoint Verification Program - 417

• TP 4.17 January 2005 onwards
  • Maintains best score pilot and shows current scored pilot versus best scored pilot
  • HOSIT added in IGC files
  • modified pilot number encryption in altitude,  rounding error  , like using  676 as  pilot number
  • IGC tracklogs now go into a dedicated IGC directory, instead of the PilotData directory
  • Created IGC G record with a more complex digital signature
  • Compeo Score1 produced new tracks for each record, fixed, new record with a HFDTE only
  • Competino got its own Download Interface. Does a faster turnpoint upload. And the buffer got increased for track downloads. Use Competino rather than Compeo for handling Galileos. And I had a Competino to test this one. 1 second delay for each turnpoint to ensure all make it into Competino. Removed the list display of each track record for Competino. Only one line which gets overwritten.
  • CYL Goal as Default, instead of Goal Line
  • IGC>KML  Conversion Option added for   http://earth.google.com  Keyhole Markup Language support
  • KML also creates a compressed KMZ file
  • IGC_PILOTDATA_DIRECTORY default can be stored in SETUP/COMP /CREATE. In case one does not ahve a COMP this value will be used for your day to day IGC processing. If you run a COMP and LOAD a TASK then this string will be overwritten by the TaskDirectory/IGC value
  • Competino TRK-ONLY track download Menu Option added. Other/Brauniger/TRK-ONLY  uses a different serial interface code which might help downloading big tracks complete.
  • CSV>KML and KMZ creates clamped to ground tracks
  • Option to fire up Earth Google direct out of TP when a kml or kmz file gets created
  • IGC>WW IGC to NASA World Wind  http://worldwind.arc.nasa.gov/   conversion  added
  • Turnpoints to World Wind menu option added
