New features

  • iMap now imports industry standard GPX files, an XML based format for storing GPS data
  • It is now possible to use custom symbols in addition to the standard symbol set
  • Records can now be exported to KML for integration with Google Earth
  • Record labels can now be placed above, below, to the left or to the right of their symbol instead of only below the symbol
  • Record coordinates can now be copied to the clipboard by selecting Edit - Copy Coordinates
  • It is now possible to set the size of a record to be proportional to the square root of a field value, resulting in a more proportional representation
  • iMap now includes a Spotlight-plugin that enables Spotlight to search the database of every iMap document
  • When opening an iMap document from Spotlight, iMap will show only relevant records
  • The online help has been redesigned and expanded. It now includes demonstration movies.
