New Program Features:
One of the many new program developments has been the introduction of 'wizards' to help the user select the appropriate module or function, while some such as Identification have been developed into sequential screens that guide you through the process. The wizards also include links directly to pages in the Help File. These wizards have proved to be a wonderful way of showing the many functions available in the program.
The Bird Lists module has been upgraded to include GPS-based records imported from the PDA edition. A new bird list import and export format is designed to facilitate SABAP2, our national bird atlas project. The Birding Spot module has the added functionality of adding or editing birding spot data, including adding your own photographs and bird lists. On the Bird Pages you can add your own notes and photos as well. Other improvements include a fully adjustable program window and sizing of fonts in both the bird list and general texts.
In terms of data we have entirely new and expanded texts from Roberts Birds of Southern Africa - 7th Edition and field guide texts from the Roberts Bird Guide by Hugh Chittenden, new illustrations with identification pointers, maps updated with distributions of subspecies, rare bird records updated, the photo database expanded to over 6000 quality photos, completely re-edited bird sounds, and alternative bird names expanded to include many languages. In fact not much of the data has been left untouched.
