GPS Tracker - Updated to V02R03

NOTE: To update to V02R03 it is necessary to do a full update as per the 'Installation Instruction' rather than using the Update Tab.
Additions:

1. Added a maximum speed checkbox under the File tab. If selected, playback of the selected file is done with no delays between NMEA messages.
2. Added a 'Show whole Track at once' checkbox under the File Tab. Selecting this checkbox before adding a file will cause GPSTracker to show the whole file track at once. If this is the first time the selected file is used, GPSTracker will do preprocessing of the file. No preprocessing is done subsequently unless the 'Force Preprocessing' checkbox is selected. Modifications: 1. Speed up the rendering of the GPS tracks for any type of GPS device (COM, File, etc).

See the GPS Tracker add-on page for more details.

Feeds (geocoded web feed plug-in) - Updated to v1.0

Final version of the add-on.

See the Feeds add-on page for more details.

Feeds (geocoded web feed plug-in) released

The Feeds plugin reads RSS feeds (Atom will be added at a later date) and uses the geo tags to display the contents of the geocoded feeds on the World Wind globe. In the first release the plugin has four example feeds from Placeopedia (which has location information for Wikipedia articles), GeoURL (which shows websites that are near a place), Yahoo! Traffic Alerts (which shows traffic alerts for large cities in the US) and a recent earthquakes feed by the U.S. Geological Survey.

See the Feeds add-on page for more details.

GPS Tracker - Updated to V02R02

NOTE: To update to V02R02 it is necessary to do a full update as per the 'Installation Instruction' rather than using the Update Tab.
Additions:

1. Use the General Tab to select some general settings: Select 'Track Heading' if you want the World View heading to 'follow' the heading from the GPS data. Select 'V. Exaggeration to 0' (default) to set the Vertical exaggeration to 0 when GPS Tracker is running. When the V. Exaggeration is 0 the GPS icons are displayed in the correct position, at ground level, as seen from any tilt angle. If V. Exaggeration is not selected then the selected V. Exaggeration will remain effective while GPS Tracker is running. When the V. Exaggeration is not 0 the GPS Icon and track is displayed at the GPS Icon altitude. The icon position is only correct when view straight from above at a 0 degree tilt. Select 'Information Text' to cause the Information text to be shown in all icons. Select 'Track Line' to show the track of the selected gps icon Select 'Record Session' to save into a file the activity of all your GPS devices and POI. If this is selected, when you click 'Track', GPSTracker will save a copy of the activity of all your GPS and POI icons. When you disable GPSTracker a window will pop up asking for the filename you want to select for this session. Session files can be played back by selecting them in the 'Files' tab, just as any other file. If a Session file is selected no other device or POI for the list will be shown. While a session is being recorded you can add POI but they will not be saved. While a session is being played back you can add POI, but they will not be saved.
2. Added a sample session file. It's located under Plugins\GPStracker\SampleSession.GPSTrackerSession.
