Changes in Version 4.0.3.1003:

• Improved memory performance when handling large databases and when Tracker is receiving positions for an extended period of time
• Added a Max Track field to Settings|Interface|Options. The Max Track controls the maximum number of Events to be considered when updating the Track table in the Tracker Window and when drawing asset history. If Max Track is set to 1000, then only the most recent 1000 events will be considered when plotting asset history. If the Events database is large it can take a longer time for the Track table in the Tracker Window to be refreshed. Plotting of asset history will also be less efficient. The recommended default is 1000
• Help file updated
• Fix to database login arising after logging into Tracker without database support

Changes in Version 4.0.1.635:

• New 'docked' options for Tracker form layouts. The Tracker form can now be swapped from its original 'floating window' configuration, to a 'docked' position. (Docked positions include right hand side vertical and bottom horizontal.) To change the form layout, click on the Toggle Tracker Window Location button in the main tool bar:
  • Added step through asset history position on screen. Double click on any event in the Track window to display the position of the asset at the time of that event

Changes in Version 4.0.1.559:

• Fix to Auto Refresh for networked copies of Tracker
• Fixed issue with certain Windows configurations that were not allowing auto refresh to work correctly on networked copies of Fugawi Tracker
• Fix to reinstate support for older GMF vector files

Changes in Version 4.0.1.517:

• Auto refresh enabled for networked copies of Tracker. In Settings|Interface|Options is an Auto Refresh Table check box and an Auto Refresh Interval, which you can set in seconds
• Added feature to allow connections to a remote Tracker database over the Internet. Fugawi Tracker now allows the user to connect to a database hosted on a remote machine, located on a LAN or somewhere on the Internet. The requirement is that the machine hosting the database has a fixed IP address and is visible to the client machine with appropriate network permissions. Customers should be aware that as a large amount of data is passing between server and client machine, performance might be slow over low speed Internet connections. The Auto Refresh interval should be set accordingly (recommended 5 or 10 minutes)

To connect to a Fugawi Tracker database, go to Settings|Interface|Database and enter the path to the database.

Example 1 - For a Database located elsewhere on a LAN:
\\networkserver\shared\FugawiTracker\Tracker.GDB

Example 2 - For a database located elsewhere on the Internet:
IPAddress:C:\Program Files\Common Files\Fugawi\Tracker\Tracker.GDB
(e.g. 111.111.1.1:C:\Program Files\Common Files\Fugawi\Tracker\Tracker.GDB)

• Using Asset Label instead of Asset ID for display: To display the Asset Label instead of Asset ID on the Track Tab, click the 'Enforce unique Asset Labels' check box in Settings|Interface|Options.
• TCP/IP Outbound message: Added a new message for Tracker TCP/IP protocol
  If 'Enforce unique Asset Label' is selected as per above and TCP/IP interface is selected, then Tracker will display a 'Configure Asset' icon on the Track tab.

Selecting on or more assets and clicking this button will cause Tracker to output a TCP/IP Message as follows:

$PFUGCFG,X,ASSET1_ID,ASSET1_LABEL,ASSET1_GROUPNAME,
ASSET2_ID,ASSET2_LABEL,ASSET2_GROUPNAME,...
Where X is the number of Assets in the string

Developers who use the Tracker TCP/IP protocol to communicate between their device and Tracker can use this message to poll external devices.

• Time display: The time display fields have been rationalized. All times are now stored in the Tracker database in UTM, but displayed on the Tracker tabs in Local Time (adjusted by the Windows Clock for display purposes). Customers, who want to view time in UTM, can change the Windows clock accordingly.
• User Grid for Map calibration: Customers can now calibrate maps, or import Tiff/TFW maps using a User Grid and/or a User datum.

Changes in Version 4.0.1.387:

• A new Windows installer eliminates requirement to reboot during install on Win 2000, XP and NT machines
• Tracker now supports S-57 ENC marine vector maps
• The time display on the Events tab is now converted to 'local time' (based on system clock)
• Speed and units on the Events tab now shows as Metric, Statue, or Nautical, based on the user preferences
• The user can delete events from the Events tab of the Tracker window (using a mouse right-click)
• The user can export reports as a comma separated text file for use in other programs
