Version 3.0 of the map display package is now available and demonstrated in the following demo: LiveMap v3.0
Minimal Feature Set
Additional features which might be included in the core package or may be added in classes extended from the core classes include the following:
To allow text entry of values in some interface to geophysical data, Converters are supplied which are specific to the type of axis: lat, lon, length, etc. These Converters have intelligence specific to each axis: eg. The ConvertLongitude class can deal with multiple input formats and can handle comparisons between longitudes in the range -360:0, -180:180 or 0:360.
A new item called a MapRegion was introduced in v3.0. Currently, MapRegions can only be used to draw something at a specific latitude and longitude, moving appropriately as the user pans and zooms. In the future, this class will be used to implement hotspots for selection of data regions or specific tracks or locations. Anything that can be drawn can be a subclass of MapRegion.
