Publisher's Description: |
SARTrack is based on an ‘un-docked’ window system, that is, all windows are separate, and can be moved anywhere independently. The primary reason for this design was to enable the use of multi-monitor systems, in particular the use of a video projector displaying the Map, while other windows could stay on the laptop screen.
A single small Main Menu window from which all primary windows can be started stays on-top at all times.
Each window has its own basic settings, which means the User will not be subjected to a main window overloaded with settings and icons, which is unfortunately becoming very common.
For example, the Map window will have most settings needed for that window, while the SAR Log window will only have settings required for that window.
All effort has been made to made to keep the program as easy to use as possible, while only showing the user only what he or she needs to see.
When the original New Zealand version became an International version, intended for both Search and Rescue and Amateur Radio operators, an option was added in the main Setup to switch between SAR and HAM operation.
When SAR is selected, the SAR Log system becomes available, and various other settings in the program appear or disappear.
SARTrack now makes heavily use of OSM (OpenStreetMap) compatible Online servers for the Maps. These maps, based on a system of small Map Tiles, can then be saved for off-line use during SAR operations in the field. This off-line use saving of Tiles is not allowed when using Google Maps or other commercial Map systems.
As of February 2013 SARTrack has the following basic features:
- A primary Map window for all OSM-compatible and Local Maps, with many Maps including Topographical maps for Canada and the USA, and Topographical maps for the rest of the world.
- Transparent Overlays are possible, and a User configurable file for OSM servers is included.
- A Google Map window which can be synched with the primary map (but on-line only)
- A New Zealand Topographical off-line Map system (3 Gigabyte download required)
- A full APRS system, including an advanced APRS Message system, Stations, Objects, etc.
- Selectable overlays on the Maps, like Map outlines, Grid, Radio-Range, etc.
- Warning when Stations (Trackers) time out, and warnings when Priority beacons (from Trackers) are received.
- A Replay system, which makes it possible to replay an entire day of a SAR Operation, including the Tracks, Messages and the SAR Log, with a timer window showing when it all happened.
- The SAR Log can be exported in a delimited form.
- There are many more features in the program, to discover it all, download and install the software, if is free.
SARTrack is completely stand-alone, runs on Windows 2000 and higher, does not use any libraries, does not use .NET, does not use the Windows Registry, does not load any things on Windows start-up.
Updates will be checked for once a day, only when SARTrack is started.
