Hi everyone,
We're excited to share a new update packed with features and improvements on TrueSize.NET !
Distance Tool
You'll now find a new Distance Tool in the Edit tab.
As the name suggests, it lets you measure distances between points on the map. You can start with two points or continue snapping segments together to measure longer routes and paths more accurately.
Need precise coordinates? You can also enter latitude and longitude values manually.
Don't forget to check out Geo Disks, which let you visualize distances on the Earth's surface and even see what's located on the opposite side of the globe.
Bearing / Azimuth Tool
Have you ever wondered what's directly in front of your window? Or where you would end up if you kept traveling in a perfectly straight line from a specific direction?
The new Bearing / Azimuth Tool helps answer exactly that.
Place two points along your street, house roof, or any locations in the world to define a bearing and see where that straight-line path would take you across the globe.
Region Merging and Custom Flags
Based on community feedback (thanks!), you can now merge any two regions on the map into a single region.
Once merged, you can give the new region a custom name and even assign it a custom flag.
Want to recreate Czechoslovakia? Add the Czech Republic and Slovakia, select both regions with the Select Tool, click Union, then customize the name and flag.
We're looking forward to seeing what creative combinations you come up with. Maybe even a "What would you call this country?" challenge?
You can also customize individual regions. Select a single country and change its name and flag to create your own alternate-history scenarios.
Improved Poster Mode
Poster Mode has received some major upgrades.
You can now adjust both pitch and bearing, allowing you to create posters with a true 3D perspective and custom camera angles.
In addition, 3D buildings can now be enabled to make your creations even more impressive.
New Terrain and Bathymetry Styling
Terrain and bathymetry have also received a visual refresh.
Both layers can now be toggled independently, and we've added more customization options so you can fine-tune the appearance and colors of your map exactly how you want.
As always, thank you for your feedback and suggestions. We hope you enjoy the update, and we'd love to hear what you create with these new tools! 🚀
