IMPORTANT:
the new version of the tool has been released, please view this thread for more information.
all links for oceanic 1.0 were deleted, please follow up another thread and download oceanic 2.1
I came up with this tool for storing and displaying various location-related info on a EU continent map.
I use it to track some of my mining claims, but it can be used for pretty much anything: TPs, revivals, zones, roads, POI and just some general notes of any kind.
I decided to share it here as it might be useful for somebody else.
all info is stored in external XML files, so you can create your own type of entries to display, like "My favorite places" and design its shape, color etc. also you can add more continents and maps if you like.
here is a couple screenshots of it:
it's a stand-alone Windows application, Adobe Flash based, compiled under Win7 x64, confirmed running under WinXP as well (thanks doitordontdoit)
basic functionality:
you can drag the map around and zoom in/zoom out it with the mouse wheel.
there is a coordinate box, which shows the current position at the crosshair, you can type in coordinates and press Enter to go to the location. the box is draggable around by the green square
all entries are divided into three groups "Enmatter", "Ore", "Other", lists for every group are scrollable with a mouse wheel
also, there is a tooltip box, if you double-click on its green square, it will show/hide its details area.
the box works in two modes: by default you can drag it around by the green square, if you double-click on any feature placed upon the map it will become a tool tip, following the mouse, another double-click will unlock it and it will become draggable again.
when in tool tip mode, it's enough to roll over an entry on the map to see its info in the box, when in draggable mode, you need to click on an entry to see it.
-------
you need to download zip file and extract it to any folder you like, then run "map.exe", no installation required
please read a few posts below for the explanation of the program formats, more features and cycle analyzer
on the first sceenshot there are some sample LAs with the notes
on the second screenshot you can see the area where I placed sample loot finds, a couple of general notes and such
