Custom Scaled Vessel Shapes - GPS tracking
I am interested in creating a custom GPS shape in the place of the standard triangle that is displayed. I have successfully modified the shape in GM17 to include the many options available in the symbols library.
Two questions:
Is it possible to create my own custom shape (a tub-boat for instance)?
Is it possible to scale the custom shape through the zoom range? For example, the tugboat is 80'x30' and I'd like to be able to display a scale representation of the vessel in real-time over the background imagery we have imported to GM.
Any my help much obliged.

Hi Mike,
Nice idea!
Sadly, there's no way to do this in Global Mapper at the moment, so I've added a new feature request (#17251) for this feature. We'll post back here when this feature is added (subject to our normal internal feature prioritization process).
Best regards,

Thanks for the quick reply, Jeff! I appreciate the request for the new feature. Perhaps there is a mechanism for us to pay for a modification to be made by your programmers? We are happy to do so. I can be reached at mike@etracinc.com. Thanks in advance!

I also noticed that in the forum that in the SDK "vessel size" is being addressed to some extent. http://forum.globalmapperforum.com/discussion/comment/36044/#Comment_36044.

Has anything further come of this request? I am also interested in such a feature.

At the moment, this feature is not scheduled for implementation. I have added your information to the feature request. As a rule, more users requesting a feature equals higher priority, so we will see what happens.
Cheers,

Thanks Bob. This is pretty much what I was looking for in my earlier post:
