  • Eliminated issue with not always recognizing when map was displayed at program close. This caused having to press the Map button twice on some occasions to get map to display.

  • Fixed problem not displaying Loop Class values in monitor lanes and when mode is Basic or Advanced Loop Class.
  • Multiple advances to the Loop Class Table create function.
  • Fixed per-vehicle shifting/combining problem when adding two datasets that don’t have a partial set start.
