Default SeeYou v4.01 Maps

Thank you, Andrej, that's a good design move.

Can you confirm that vector maps for an area are cached once they have
been downloaded from the cloud? I'm thinking of the case where there
is internet access at the hotel several miles from the airport, but no
internet access at the airport itself. I'm betting that you do..

Thanks for asking, John.

When we started announcing that we are moving the maps into the cloud
quite a few early testers said "Great. But don't forget that a
significant amount of gliding is done in areas with poor or no
internet access."

Think Namibia, many places out west, South America or just yourself
travelling around. A software which would have to be connected to the
internet would be quite useless in many such cases. It is therefore
still possible to buy CDs with vector maps from our store and it is
still possible to load your old maps into SeeYou 4.

If your computer is regularly online, then it certainly make sense to
use the maps from the cloud. They are much better quality than the old
maps. And they keep getting updated.

Enjoy SeeYou 4.
