A new update is available for ReefMaster with the following changes:

• MapQuest base map options have been disabled, as these tiles are no longer available. We are working on a new base map solution and retain Open Street Map Landscape in the mean time.
• Track-point times are now exported in CSV files.
• Support for Garmin EchoMap generated GPX track files.
• NMEA parsing now supports the most recent DPT message version.
• Fixed issue with duplicate KML style error when exporting multiple maps as part of a Data Set.

You can update in the usual way, by clicking the Check For Updates button on RM startup. Simply downloading and installing the latest version over your current version also works.

Very nice that there is some progress, but is there some news on the new version? Maybe some screenshots and a release date?

RM2.0 is still scheduled for release before the end of this year. I will create a thread highlighting some of the features that you can expect, along with a few screen shots, in due course.

Will the new version be able to handle larger files? I had problems back in the days with large files (1 GB and above) which gave a "unsupported SON file format" error, making reefmaster useless for many of my logs...

That shouldn't happen as a result of file size, but RM can be a bit sensitive to "bad pings" in HB files. This behaviour is much improved in v2, and we also have a small standalone utility (rather "rough and ready") that can sanitize most bas HB files so that they can be imported successfully into RM. If you want a copy, mail This email address is being protected from spambots.

There is I suppose also the possibility that is an unsupported SON file version - this would be pre v4 when they did not contain depth, and so are not useful in RM.

Nice work,

make sure to include a feature to allow merging source files like GPX, CSV. or sonar unit to a maximum of tracks pointe inside wanted.

to prevent having too many source files to handle per lake

We might look at this in the future, but for now have you tried using folders? If you group tracks in folders (in the asset list), you can drag (or right click menu) folders into projects, which might help a little.
