[Openpilot-developers] Map widget plotting is fixed!

[Tim B. <ti...@en...>]

Ladies and gentlemen,

Some of you will remember that when I re-wrote the map widget plotting
routines to run in parallel it broke the plotting system, spewing
artefacts all over the widget. I am pleased to say that this has now been
fixed and committed to CVS. I have also brought the option to use
multi-threading under software control, instead of a compile-time option.

I am currently working on a small utility to extract sections of coastline
in a given area. This will allow you to load and use only your local
coastline as opposed to that for the entire planet. This should reduce the
memory footprint a bit, and will not hurt speed either. Hopefully this
will be on CVS before christmas, and it later it will be integrated into
the main OpenPilot GUI.

Cheers for now,

Tim B.
