Simon's World Map v1.1
Simon Brown • Jul 29, 2021
Introduction
I need a simple display which shows me at the very least:
- Current Time
- Sunrise / Sunset
- Greyline map
- DX stations
There are commercial geo clock solutions such as Geochron, but as a programmer with spare 4k monitors and computers I decided to write my own, that way I have exactly what I want.
Updates
Kit updated July 29th, 2021 to fix CPU usage problems.
What's New
A few days spent on this program in July 2021:
- Added the Explorer map - thanks to Nasa,
- Map can be dragged and zoomed with the mouse,
- Reworked the ribbon bar.
So it's time to call it v1.1.
The downloads will be hosted from sdr-radio.com later this year, for now you download from the author's own website.
Finally - it's here!
Resource Leaks During the testing phase of version 3.1 two major resource leaks have been found and resolved. Resource leaks cause one or more of: Steading increasing memory (Commit size), User interface slowing, and Program freezing.
In Action The multi-band display has been a long time coming but now it's here. As you see from the video, you can tune in any band just as you would in the main window.
