This update of CarbonTools PRO is full with goodies. The tile-map engine was put to good use with the support to the up and coming WMTS (Web Map Tiling Service) from OGC, as well as the OpenStreetMap tile services - to which we added a new assembly with complete source code.
Another exciting update is the addition of editing tools to the MultiMap control. This is the first major update to MultiMap in a while and it is a doozy, you can easily create and edit points, lines and polygons directly on the map mash-up.
There are many enhancements and additions in this release that we decided that it is time for a sub-version raise. In addition, a preview version of Gaia 3.4 with full source code is included. Welcome to CarbonTools PRO 3.1!
