WiMap is back
Posted: Mon Oct 25, 2004 5:28 pm
I took down the WiMap page at http://www.honet.com/WiMap a while back because Delorme had so badly broken the drawing data import in Street Atlas 200x versions that I got quite a large volume of email with questions about why none of the graphic features work with SA versions after Street Atlas 9 (SA7 was the latest version I had available when the app was first coded).
Today, for the first time in years, I bought a new edition of SA (Street Atlas 2005) and discovered that Delorme have at least restored the ability to select the type of symbol to be displayed when drawing objects are imported. So, I hacked together a new version of WiMap that will at least display WEP-using networks as a red 'X', and non-WEP networks as a map pin.
As before, however, there is no control over size and color (or any other attribute that I can determine) so things like text size and color will default to whatever you set them to before doing the import.
Bug reports for issues other than the ongoing Delorme brokitude are welcome.
