just to make a small note on JR's page
the maps are INCREDIBLE!!!!!!

second.. the Triatlas _USA-A index isnt correct. The USa maps correspond to the Triatlas A index (or close enough
the USA is still in landscape maps so it only shows 13 maps, while the euro one shows all 25.
sorry just want to help... it (and his software) are utterly amazing!!!!
I just found my favorite maps!!!

Rob,

The Index for the "A" charts seems to be incorrect as you have noted. I will pass this on to Jose and get it fixed for the next release.

Yes, these maps are incredible and we are happy you like them.

Clear Skies!!
Casey

There is an algorithm issue in the code that is affecting the "A" chart index and it is being looked into and corrected.

I suppose that I should just print the old version if I can't wait, but... Will there be a new set of Z charts in the next month or so? I've enjoyed the A and B set that I printed; I think the Z set might be even more fun.
What a wonderful gift to the community these charts are!

Steve,

Jose and I have a meeting tentatively scheduled for tomorrow to go over our progress. It looks like the panoramic set will be the first to be released and then work on the A, B, C and Z charts begin. Most of the work will be done with the exception of a few minor adjustments. Jose has been very busy at the University and his time there is at a premium now. He should be in full swing again by the end of next week with work on the charts as he is very keen on getting this accomplished.

Casey,

first of all I'd like to say thank you for this superb project!
Fantastic!!

I found that the A1 chart on the A-set is missing the constellation names overlay! Just a little head-up if you please could correct that.

EDIT: Uh...hold on, I see that atlas Z1 does not have that as well, so maybe it is supposed to be like that? sorry my ignorance on the subject...

Hey, isn't the index to the A charts fixed now in "letter" format?
Thanks; I was about to print another copy using the A4 index, but it's too cluttered.
The A one works now!

Hello everyone!!

FYI- We are getting very close to the release of the updated charts and let me tell you what, they look GOOD!!

If things go as planned (fingers crossed) you should have the new charts before Christmas.

Clear Skies!!
Casey
