3.   UK (free) Map..
updated with 2007 waypoints and SUA; renamed "UK and Ireland 28May07"
4.   UK 2007 Waypoints + SUA
corrected to 31 March 2007


19 May 2007
         Old version.. Tn2003 repair files removed from the TN downloads page.
Version Tn2003 ceased development in November 2004 and this version is now significantly out-of-date in terms of graphics function, airspace display, and logger download support.    In fact, like most old software, it is no longer fit for purpose, consequently, the Tn2003 repair files have been removed from the TN web site, effective 19 May, 2007.  

Tn2003 users who want to repair or replace an existing Tn2003 installation can do so at very low cost by ordering the Tn2007 upgrade and by downloading the current Tn2007 version from the downloads page.   The upgrade fee is only £20
 

19 March 2007        New CE and mini-patch files at v3.2.444;  BGA UK 2007 waypoints;  UK 2007A+1  SUA airspace
The BGA 2007 Waypoints list for the UK, formatted for TN use, is now available for download.   Similarly, the UK 2007 SUA airspace file was updated (by Rory o'Conor) on 1 March.  The update - corrected for use with TaskNAV - is now available for download.

The TN program executable file TNWin.exe is updated to v3.2.444 (just a couple of small fixes) and is supplied in the new mini-patch file and CE Compact Edition including the updated SUA airspace (V.2007A+1) and TP files for 2007.   The patch applies to all previous editions of Tn2007.   If the patch file or CE file is installed, there is no need to apply the separate TP and SUA file downloads.

Windows Vista tests update:  TaskNAV runs OK under Windows Vista (tested using Vista Ultimate).   The Vista driver situation for peripherals has improved somewhat though some devices..  older printers, graphics cards and USB equipment are still not supported, or may be supported only by a generic driver.  If you see graphic display, printing or other device errors in TN, please first of all check that the relevant Windows Vista device driver is at the latest level before reporting the error(s).
  
openGLIGCexplorer (OGIE):
  the Vista driver experience (nVidia for GeForce 7600) has improved.  The popup menu now works OK in OGIE Window mode using the nVidia driver..   101.41_forceware_winvista_32bit_international.exe.   Graphics performance is excellent.

All bugs fixed since first release of Tn2007:

  • At Tn2007 boot time using 1280 x 1024 screen pixels, a spurious error message referred to 'Portrait' screen mode causing TN to quit

  • BGA_semi-circle start line - penalty box 0.5km sides were OK on screen but did not print

  • GPS fix properties did not display properly in 2D animation screen

  • International Dateline fix when zooming out.  W180° 00 00 is the max longitude allowed for the West side of a map

  • Fix to support analysis of AAT from gargantuan (more than 32,767 position records) IGC files, and also to fix Thermal/Cruise analysis for the same file.  

  • Fix removes spurious prompt when loading a task with more than 3 TPs, immediately following display of an OZ-C corrected task of up to 3 TPs.   Harmless but superfluous message box

  • Print titles alignment error fix: overlapped map when printing task and analysis reports on systems using high aspect ratio wide screens.  PCs with standard screens (4 x 3) are unaffected.

  • The Map Selection window produced a 'Runtime and Type Mismatch' error messages when a manual Map change was attempted on non-English Windows systems.   This error didn't affect UK systems.


24 February 2007    Windows Vista tests ...
Windows Vista tests:  TaskNAV runs OK under Windows Vista (Ultimate), however, the peripherals driver situation remains poor with many devices.. printers, graphics cards and USB equipment still not supported. If you see TN graphic display, printing or other device errors, please first of all check that the relevant Vista device driver is at the latest level before reporting errors.
  
openGLIGCexplorer:
  on two different Vista NVidia drivers, 21/08/06 and 20/02/07 (approx); OGIE worked OK on the earliest but was very slow;  on the latest, it is much faster but the right mouse button menu doesn't appear ... use Escape key to Exit as required.

10 August 2006        TaskNAV mini-patch v3.1.330   updated 10 August 06
The new TNWin.exe program update v3.1.330 replaces the v3.1.305 mini-patch.  It has refinements to the 'Map and GPS defaults' selection and to the 'GPS display' options tab to make it even easier to identify invalid GPS fix points such as seen in an IGC file downloaded from a recently approved, new model IGC logger.

A new facility permits creation and selection from multiple Task Libraries, at the user's discretion.   Could be useful, for example, in physically separating contest tasks from a large number of user tasks on gliding club public PCs.

And several data files are included that may have been omitted from a previous TN distribution:  (a) for connecting to the free 3D viewer (openGL-IGCexplorer), and (b) for downloading model A to D EW loggers via serial ports - software v.0330A or via USB converters - software v.0523X.

It also includes all of the v3.1.305 and v3.1.269 mini-patch updates described below.


26 July 2006             TaskNAV mini-patch  v3.1.305
   updated 26 July 06  
TNWin.exe program mini-patch
v3.1.305 replaces the v3.1.269 mini-patch;  it includes several edit tabs added to the 'Maps Collection' window to enhance user options for TP and Airspace display and edit.   In the next TN release, this feature set will be extended and converted to a Windows style "wizard" dialogue.  
The update fixes some small bugs and also extends access to online mapping at www.streetmap.co.uk  via the popup graphics editor menu (TN map window).  This applies to UK TPs only as Streetmap uses UK OSGB grid references, not Latitude/Longitude.  However, access is also provided to www.multimap.com which has mapping (variable quality) for most gliding countries, with good quality maps and aerial photography for England and Wales.   When online, you can zoom in at multimap.com to about 1:5000.   This facility is best used with an "always on" broadband link.   Check the downloads page

29 May 2005                       v3.1.245
... Sorry! 
v3.1.244 had a bug in XC analyser date format on Swedish Windows systems. The new 'patch' file will update the existing v3.1.210 and all later releases to the latest level.
Fix for XC Analyser IGC date format on Swedish Windows with Swedish locale settings.  On UK Windows systems, the problem doesn't arise.


29 May 2005                       v3.1.244
The new 'patch' file will update the existing v3.1.210 and all later releases to the latest level.
This release offers much improved control over SUA airspace in Tim Newport-Peace format.  And it also seems to be more SUA 'dialect' proof than previous TN editions.   For UK systems, the airspace is switchable ON/OFF in 10 categories.   Other national airfiles depend on the extent to which the categories use the same definitions as the UK.air file.  But all should display OK.   Name management and properties interrogation (for Title, Type, Base, Tops and coordinates) is also improved.

Fix for AAT nominal distance marks which, after switch ON, stay ON (bug).   Fixed so that ON/OFF works on user request.


20 May 2005                        v3.1.224
The new 'patch' file will update the existing v3.1.210 and later releases to the latest level.  Main areas of refinement are improvements to the display and control of tnp format SUA airspace and airspace names with a view to minimising map clutter.
Individual airspace types are now switchable ON/OFF in nine categories.

The 'patch' can be used immediately by existing users of v3.1.210. 
Downloads 2 nd 3 are still at v3.1.210 level but will be replaced in the next 24 hours to match the level of the 'patch' update.

Fix release v2.5.120-2 is now available.  All program downloads have been updated to the same  ..v2.5.120-2 level - see downloads page. 

1.   Fix for truncated Task Show replay toolwindow.  When replaying "found" tasks from the TaskSearch results file (in the map window), approximately 60% of the Task Show toolwindow is missing (in v2.5.120-1).  The sizing bug was caused to working programs by recent updates to related programs in v2.5.120 and 120-1.   Sorry!  C'est la vie in software construction.
2.   Fix for small bugs in the Task Library tasks sort facility (icon selected)
3.   Warning added to Maggot Racing when task selected is not in the same geography as the flights selected for "racing".

1.    Unable to select logger task from an IGC file if IGC file stored on the hard drive root directory e.g.  as in "..C: \ 4ABC1231.IGC"
2.    Occasional incorrect sizing of the "mini-analysis" results window obscures command buttons (OK, Export, Cancel, Print), especially at higher screen resolutions if Windows "large fonts" selected.
3.
    Column sort is now disabled in map-window files-list 'grid' when one file only in the list.



30 May 2004                          v2.5.120

20 February 2004                  v2.4.112
New release v2.4.112 - due on 1st February - is now available.  All program downloads have been updated to the same  ..112 level. Apologies for the delay due to the TN author's winter break in South Africa.  

End of special offer:  the splendid Winter season TN 25% discount deal was a sell-out.  Alas, it is now over, but 2004 season prices have been reduced overall by up to 10% on year 2003,  so TN is still tremendous value.

The new ..112 level contains several fixes and some changes:    (1) obscure startline problem at the 2003 SA Nationals;  (2) a new release of the toolbars module IGToolbars50.ocx;  (3) a new release of the installation Setup program 'SetupFactory v6.0.1.3';  (4) a compiled  TN Help system is now built into TN Help menus.  Previous Html browse files are replaced by the Microsoft Help compiler version.   Individual Help topics are accessible using F1 key for context help;   (5) miscellaneous usability enhancements for contest flights analysis.    And more ...
