1/ Fixed a bug that caused an error 'no such table: MapMarker' when trying to create a Marker.

 

2/ When viewing the Satellite Data (IG) in the Info Bar, you can choose to rotate between all the available satellites by typing the shortcut 'SA', or lock on to one specific satellite by typing the shortcuts 'S1' - 'S8'. You can also see Satellite Data in a section of the Data Bar - this shows the current Azimuth, Elevation, Satellite Name, and Satellite Range as they relate to the User Position. The satellite used as reference in the DataBar previously rotated between all the available satellites. It will now lock on to one specific satellite if the shortcuts 'S1' - 'S8' have been typed, or rotate between all the available satellites if the shortcut 'SA' has been typed.

 

3/ When choosing the required option for the Time Bar, I have added an option that shows the Hours only, in Digital Format. You can now choose to show the clocks in the Time Bar in analog format, in digital format showing only Hours, in digital format showing Hours and Minutes, or hide the Time Bar completely.

 

4/ If you are interested in Volcanoes, the latest information from the Smithsonian / USGS Weekly Volcanic Activity Report, shown on the Volcano Info page of the InfoBar, accessed with the shortcut 'IP', is very useful. The information is quite lengthy, and the program automatically splits it up into pages, dependent on the current size of the InfoBar. The previous refresh-rate, at 10 seconds per page, turned out to be rather too fast, so this has been changed to 20 seconds per page.

 

The InfoBar page refresh-rate has also been slowed for the ContestCalendar - now also 20 seconds per page, and for the DxNewsFeed - now 15 seconds per page.

 

5/ You can now choose, in 'Settings Menu > User', whether or not to enable the 'News Ticker', the small pop-up strip that will appear above the Data Bar when it has some messages that it wishes to share with you. If it is not enabled, it will still show the Version Message, the License Message, and the Updates Message at program-start, but no other messages. If it is enabled, it will show all messages.

 

6/ The Settings Option: Maximize Map at Startup, which was added in 'v 1.8.4.0', allowed you to choose to maximize the program-window at Startup. This has now been refined a little, so that, when enabled, it will now maximize in the Last Monitor that the program was showing in. This is handy for those computers with more than one monitor: perhaps a 4K monitor to show the 'Time Mapper UHD', and one or more other monitors for other progams, like my essential 'Great Circle Mapper', or your favorite Logging program and SDR receiver-controller.
