• After witnessing the continued decrease of involvement in the SpotterNetwork staff in serving SN members with troubleshooting issues recently, I have unilaterally decided to terminate the relationship between SpotterNetwork's support and Stormtrack. I have witnessed multiple users unable to receive support weeks after initiating help threads on the forum. I find this lack of response from SpotterNetwork officials disappointing and a failure to hold up their end of the agreement that was made years ago, before I took over management of this site. In my opinion, having Stormtrack users sit and wait for so long to receive help on SpotterNetwork issues on the Stormtrack forums reflects poorly not only on SpotterNetwork, but on Stormtrack and (by association) me as well. Since the issue has not been satisfactorily addressed, I no longer wish for the Stormtrack forum to be associated with SpotterNetwork.

    I apologize to those who continue to have issues with the service and continue to see their issues left unaddressed. Please understand that the connection between ST and SN was put in place long before I had any say over it. But now that I am the "captain of this ship," it is within my right (nay, duty) to make adjustments as I see necessary. Ending this relationship is such an adjustment.

    For those who continue to need help, I recommend navigating a web browswer to SpotterNetwork's About page, and seeking the individuals listed on that page for all further inquiries about SpotterNetwork.

    From this moment forward, the SpotterNetwork sub-forum has been hidden/deleted and there will be no assurance that any SpotterNetwork issues brought up in any of Stormtrack's other sub-forums will be addressed. Do not rely on Stormtrack for help with SpotterNetwork issues.

    Sincerely, Jeff D.

1) Are there any quality nation wide road shape or place files for Grlevel3 that are better than the basemap?

2) During the trial can you upgrade with newer versions of Grlevel3 to see the new features or do you have to purchase to get those?

3) Can you install new basemap, shapefile, placefile, or markers, etc with the trial version?

Thanks
 
1) Yes, you can add in the shapefiles (which is an intitial pain in the ass but well worth it) and have street level mapping!

2) I might be incorrect, but I think the trial is fully functional.

3) I don't know this, so I won't try and answer. :)
 
On the GR3 page, there's a download for GR3 update. I *think* this includes the latest beta build that have previously been available only to owners.

Like David said, I think the trial version is a full-featured version, so you should be able to add a new basemap, all the placefiles you want (I have several free ones at http://grlevel3.tornadocentral.com ), and so forth.

EDIT: I just downloaded the "trial version" (old hard drive on my laptop crashed, so I'm reinstalling everything from scratch), and it does appear to be full-featured (with GPS support, smooth zooming, etc).

There are many sources for info on GRx... For example, try www.grlevelxstuff.com
 
OK. Not sure which of those I'll make, but appreciate the info.
Love to use GR 2 AE in the field more but downloads are too big. Be nice to limit some of the scanning so the downloading doesn't take so long.
