TrekNow History

Version 4.1 This version is currently being rolled out. This version is built on the Microsoft .Net 2.0 Framework. The user interface was rewritten in C#. With this release we have done away with the numbered route files. Now all route files are referenced as meaningful named files. All maps are offered in jpg and pdf format. With Version 4.1 come CDs for Northeast Arizona Backroads, Central Arizona Backroads, Southern Arizona Backroads and Northern Utah Backroads. These new CDs have all passed beta testing and are currently being finalized as a release.

Version 3.2 The most significant change to this release is the adoption of the .gdb file extension introduced in Version 6.0 of MapSource. The other change to this version is the addition of maps in Adobe pdf format to ease display and printing.

Version 3.1 The largest enhancement in this release is the offering of active track logs along with 250 point, 500 point and 750 point saved track logs. The offering of different sized saved track logs along with the active log is needed to support the newer gps instruments being released which support greater saved track log sizes. This has greatly increased the time it takes to create products but we feel the improvements offered are worth it. All new products will be released at the 3.0 level and prior release 2.0 products will be upgraded as time permits.

The higher saved track logs sizes represent a higher resolution and accuracy of the track log presentation on the gps instrument.

Version 2.0 of TrekNow was released with a programmatic interface which allowed the roll charts and route sheets to be printed out on demand which greatly reduced the amount of disc space required and production was more efficient.

Version 1.0 of TrekNow used an html interface and all roll charts and route sheets were supplied in .pdf format. The track logs were all reduced to 250 point saved logs. The main drawback to this release was that the pdf files required quite a bit of disk space and production of the pdfs was more labor intensive.
