Another Map-related Bug

Hi Tim,

I've been experiencing one other map-related bug in version 1.0d. Here's what happens:

There seems to be a problem with the zoom-in and zoom-out buttons on occasion. I zoomed in twice on a map of the western US to get a map of northern CA, western NV, and extreme southern OR. When I tried to plot the current base reflectivity on this new map, DAWS plotted these and then tried to redraw a map that was "zoomed out a notch" over the one I was using!

Here's the map I ended up with:

Regards,
Marc

While I can't comment on this case since I'd have to know the sequence that led up to this error, we might have fixed this in V1.0e. V1.0d had a serious problem with storage of the background map.

I've had this same problem on 1.0d (Win XP) several times. I've noticed that it only happens when I click a zoom button very quickly. If I wait for the first zoom to render before I do the second zoom, I don't have that problem.

Hi Ben,

I think the problem is this:

If the zoom in/out buttons are clicked quickly giving DAWS no time to draw in state borders, coastlines, etc. on a certain map, it will keep trying to draw those on the next map. It's very annoying!

Regards,
Marc

I've actually seen this happen with the older DA.

See an example here:

Sorry the state lines are 1 pixel thick, but if you look you can see the double mapping offset.
