ExpertGPS 6.18 - Sept 13, 2018
Added support for Magellan TR5, TR7, and TRX7 off-road navigators.
You can now select a polygon track or shape, right-click and use Grid Builder to construct a sampling grid of regularly-spaced points within the polygon, for timber cruises or other sampling.
Fixed a recent error when receiving certain tracks from GPX-based Garmin GPS receivers.
Fixed data transfer settings for Garmin GPS 73.
Improved the ability to display very large scanned maps.
Added out-of-memory message for very large scanned maps.

ExpertGPS 6.17 - Aug 23, 2018
In offline mode, ExpertGPS displays zoomed-in versions of maps to fill in gaps in the current zoom level.
Added a zoom in button to the Send Map to GPS dialog, to let you easily choose an area to send to your GPS on a zoomed-out map, but send the higher-zoom-resolution maps to your GPS.
The Send Map to GPS command will now alert you if some of the map tiles need to be loaded before creating the custom map.
The "blue print box mode" of the Print Map command now shows the exact map tiles that will print when using the Zoom Level +1 or +2 options.
The "blue print box mode" of the Print Map command now shows the exact grid lines that will be printed.
When sending a scanned map to your GPS or exporting an image of a scanned map, ExpertGPS now automatically sets the image scale, width, and height to export the entire scanned map at its original resolution.
Improved the behavior of the Move Selected tool when holding the Alt key to resize the blue Image Export box.
Added support for Bryton Sports GPS receivers that store data in FIT format.

ExpertGPS 6.16 - July 16, 2018
Better support for certain HTTPS map servers.

ExpertGPS 6.15 - July 10, 2018
Better anti-aliasing for zoomed-in maps.
Home and End keys now move the track/shape marker to the beginning or end of the current segment.
Improved support for Garmin Alpha dog tracks.
ExpertGPS now automatically breaks up and renames Garmin GPX tracklogs which contain multiple recordings (separated by an hour or more).
Added Taiwan's TWD97 projections.
If you have multiple tracks that were recorded at the same time, using the arrow keys on the map to move the selected track marker will now show you the position at that instant of all the other tracks.
With a Garmin Astro, for example, you can see each dog's location relative to the hunter, or you can see everyone's progress through a race.
DXF Export now includes labels for tracks and shapes. Turn off layer "Shape Label" in your CAD software if you don't want to see them.
Corrected an error in the Grid Builder algorithm that reduced accuracy when used for large grid squares.
Fixed issue with Lowrance's latest changes to USR version 6 files.
Added more ways to quickly measure distance/bearing on the map:
 If the Active Point is set, that's used as the starting point for distance and bearing calcs.
 If a single waypoint/note/photo is selected, that point is used.
 If a track or shape is selected, the marker location is used.
 Otherwise, the last place you clicked on the map is used.
Clicking a track or shape with the Move Map tool selects it and sets the marker, making it easier to calculate distances to off-trail features.
Added workaround for mal-formed Lowrance USR files.
Real-time tracking now shows tracklogs for dogs using Garmin Alpha/Astro.
