• RiscOSM and Recce updates

    From Matthew Phillips@21:1/5 to All on Sat Jan 8 08:57:28 2022
    Over Christmas we have released new versions of RiscOSM, Recce, and updated
    map data for RiscOSM. These are available from our downloads page: http://sinenomine.co.uk/software/riscosm/downloads.php

    Recce version 1.06 fixes a small issue which meant data on UK road collisions was not being fetched fully.

    RiscOSM version 2.07 has improved linking to live bus departure times across Great Britain and better handling of hyperlinks from WikiData. Since our
    last announcement here, other releases of RiscOSM have added PNG and JPEG export of maps and better map drawing performance when other applications are doing background processing. There have also been many bug fixes.

    The map data available from the downloads page has been updated to November 2021. The new data will only work with RiscOSM version 2.00 onwards. If you are still on an older version of RiscOSM we do encourage you to upgrade: the drawing of small scale maps is very much faster.

    RiscOSM is a mapping application for RISC OS, using OpenStreetMap data to display interactive maps of many countries using data stored locally. You
    can change the style of the map, export as draw or various bitmap options, follow hyperlinks, plot points and routes on the map, interact with GPS applications like SatNav, and all sorts of other things. Recce is an
    optional add-on for RiscOSM which retrieves map-based data from various web services, including photographs, weather forecasts, and data on UK planning applications.
