A very special thank you to the beta testers who invested a lot of their valuable spare time in testing the beta versions and provide their extensive feedback.
Also a special word of gratitude to Lou Salkind for writing the new GPS Panel script to replace the old GPS Data Entry and the old Google Maps Panel. I know how much work it must have been to build the new GPS Panel and you did a great job on it.
