ProScan: Creating GPS Locations

[dispatcher812]

Can you create GPS Locations, weather rectangle or circle, from scratch using Proscan or do you need to use google earth and sentinel first, upload to Proscan then edit?

Yes, go to the Location tab then choose Circle or Rectangles then enter in the lat & long.

I see that but can you do it directly from using Google maps in Proscan? Use the maps to find the lat and lon?

Negative. It's on my list of things to do.

Ok. Thanks. I do like the way you can edit them in Proscan. Any hint when we will be able to?

FWIW, I use Microsoft Streets & Trips to do that. It has a 'location sensor' tool that shows GPS coords where you point
the cursor. Not dead accurate but get you in the ballpark. I use Sentinel and have to enter the info by hand, not sure how
it works with Proscan. Made many a Favorite list that way with great results...

Negative. I have many things to do that takes time.

Per the proscan.org web site

If you have suggestions, send an email to support@proscan.org One suggestion per email. The advantage of email is that I can ask additional questions to make sure the suggestion is done right and send you the latest ProScan file with the suggestion implemented. Priority is given to suggestions received initially via email. Put "suggestion" or "request" in the Subject line.

All suggestions are prioritized with the following factors:

• Promoting or recommending ProScan
• I like it or I think others will like it
• Time value benefit
• Similar to another request or in the same category as another request so they can be done at the same time
• Please keep the commentary and drama out. A simple suggestion or request is all that's needed
• Some of my pet peeves that will cause a suggestion to get bumped down are:
  • Asking that your suggestion be done next or soon, or bumped up
  • Advising "I'll pay extra" or "I'll purchase another license"
  • Advising that "I think others will like it too"
  • Being pushy, rude, etc
  • Not to the point, or a long-winded posting
