GPSMAP 6x0 (WebUpdater) software version 3.10, 28.10.2009
Changes made from version 3.00 to 3.10:
* Corrected rotation of animated current arrows when map is in Head Up orientation.
* Improved presentation of light sectors on g2 navigation charts by adding 'Auto' setting option to Menu > Navigation Chart Setup > Chart Appearance > Symbols > Light Sectors. The automatic light sector control determines the best zoom levels to draw light sectors.
* Added ability to display navaid light information on g2 navigation charts.
* Added option to disable message banner alarm notification when AIS vessels become dangerous. This will help alleviate annoyance when navigating congested waterways with many AIS-equipped vessels. When the AIS Alarm is set to Off, dangerous targets will still display on charts. Unacknowledged dangerous AIS targets will turn red and blink.
* Potentially dangerous points along auto guidance paths will be outlined in red. After the auto guidance calculation completes, a message will appear if there are potentially unsafe areas along the path.
* Fixed an issue that could cause 3D pages to stop updating the view at very slow speeds.
* Changed the nature of seabed areas to simply label the area instead of drawing a circle and label.
* Updated the symbol highlighting on the chart to use the correct symbol size.
* Added the blue and black direction lines for orthogonal photo points.
Changes made from version 2.60 to 3.00:
* Fixed potential lock-up when autorouting with XM connected.
* Added support for GB Discoverer charts.
* Expanded control of navigation leg transition to include a time-based choice.
* Improved waypoint marking interface to minimize map obstruction. The unit will no longer display the waypoint review page automatically when marking waypoints on the map. Select the new waypoint's name from the pointing menu to review.
* Added route turn angle information to turn scanning text.
* Revised weather legends for GPSMAP 640 XM weather charts.
* Greatly improved the drawing speed for charts. In most areas users should rarely see a partially drawn map when zooming and panning.
* Added continuous smoothing between zoom levels.
* Added continuous smoothing of the head-up direction for head-up charts. Head-up users will find this change a remarkable improvement in performance.
* Add ability to choose the label display for waypoints by symbol. User can choose to show labels for waypoints of a particular symbol with the waypoint name, comment, or symbol only.
* Waypoints can now be turned off on charts by symbol. This allows the waypoints on the map to be quickly limited to those of interest for the boater's current activity.
* Added option for a compass tape at the top of the screen.
* Added all supporting features for the latest g2 and g2 Vision, including user control of bathymetric contour shading.
* Added a perspective 3D display of charts for people who do not have g2 Vision cards.
* Added ability to overlay charts and photographs on the 3D relief when using g2 Vision.
* Added ability to rotate the 3D view and point to objects for review.
* Numerous appearance and drawing performance improvements.
* Added option for a compass tape at the top of the screen.
* Added user comments field to waypoints.
* Added range, bearing, and a graphical pointer to waypoint review pages.
* Use a solid line for AIS vessel heading and a dashed line for course over ground.
* Added user-controlled trails for AIS and DSC vessels.
* Added connecting legs over shallow areas at the beginning and end of the path. This allows the boater to auto guide to a shore-based service. The unit will sound an alarm when the boat approaches the shallow leg.
* Added a control for shore-line proximity tolerance which allows the user to choose tighter margins for passage through narrow channels or set a larger distance margin from the shoreline.
* When following Autoguidance, added a navigation option to recalculate Autoguidance to the current destination from the boat's current position.
