New FeaturesOther improvements
• Automatic layer order– optional
– depending on the layers’ visualisation type (raster, lines, symbols, etc.)
• Automatic data update– arbitrary frequency
• Shared cache memory for loaded data– avoid redundant data loading and storing faster and more efficient
memory usage
– mainly for constant data (topography, coastlines, borders, etc.)
• Documentation, built in User’s Guide
