Fixed Issues:

  • Creating the same cache file from 2 different computers at the same time can end up with a corrupted cache file. This can happen for example if a complete playlist was sent to a fresh computer (without cache) and the Init all button was pressed.
  • Locator – When using the locator on Navigator, the location indicator stays the same size, regardless of the size of the area displayed on the map.
  • Navigator – Hops which are close can cause texture overlaps when using pyramid. This is fixed with the new pyramid control plug-in. Pyramid control will only work with any 2.X version and 3.3 versions and above.
