This page lists changes that we have made in successive releases of StarTraX. They are listed with the latest changes first.
| Item # | Modification | Reason | User Notes |
| 1098 | Display distance with the point number. | Improve the user experience. | Additional menu option under "Options" to toggle the display on/off. The distance from the start of the track can now be displayed next to the point number on every tenth point in the distance units chosen from the drop down Units combo box. |
| 1099 | Improve the start up, when it waits for GE to load. | Clearer instruction and slightly improved sensing of when GE is loaded. | Puts up a message box at start-up if it senses GE not fully loaded. Still not perfect and can cause a crash. |
| 1102 | Fix to the "smooth altitude" function. | Wasn't working well. | The "Smooth Alt" button was not working well. |
| Item # | Modification | Reason | User Notes |
| 1091 | Deploy
the Network Link at run time.
Warning - StarTraX will crash if you say OK before GE is up and
running. | Relieve
the user from having to set it up | Put
the Network Link in "My Temporary Places". Make sure it is
disabled if it exists when setting up. This could happen on second load of
StarTraX without a GE re-start. |
| 1092 | Add
facility to read KML files generated by GPSVisualizer.
Warning - This only works with tracks containing time stamp
information. | Provide
a wider range of applicable file types. | Appears
as another file type in the Files menu. |
| 1093 | In
file load, search for a range of file extensions and deduce the type | Simplify
the user's experience. No longer have to choose format. | |
1094
| Improve
camera elevation | Was
not following the track’s elevation –remained fixed at the nominated
elevation from the horizontal. | COM
API's limitation on camera tilt - prevents above horizon. Posted in Google

| 1095 | Make
it invulnerable to international differences. The GPX file uses period as
decimal separator. | Crashes
in Norwegian for example, when the decimal separator in decimal numbers, such as lat/lon, is a period (.) and the local representation is a comma(,). | To
do with locale. Force culture to "en-AU" English (Australian)
within the program. |
