SGS Prime COGO Version 1.8.0 released January 7, 2020.

Version 1.8.0 is a free update for Version 1.x license holders.

NOTE: This version of SGS Prime COGO was developed with firmware version 2.1.14181 (2018 10 16) and tested with firmware 2.1.14425 (2020 01 16) (G1) and 2.1.14433 (2020 01 21) (G2). Older firmware versions are not recommended as the software may not be functional on prior versions.

New Features

• Added touchscreen keypads for numeric input and alpha-numeric input. These keypads are accessed by tapping on the selected input field. For Spanish, German, French and Portuguese languages a long press on certain keys will pop up a list of accents.
• Added option in Circular Curve Solver to solve for sub-chords by station or interval.
• User variables can be inserted into the selected input field by using the [Vars] key on the keyboard.
• Result screens have a new [STOV] menu option to store results to user variables.
• RPN Calculator allows for 2D and 3D vector entry and editing. Vectors can be switched between rectangular and polar display using the [R<>P] menu option in the "Tools" menu. A vector can be created from values on the stack, and exploded using the [>V>] menu option in the "Tools" menu. Two vectors can be added or subtracted. A vector can be multiplied or divided by a scalar.

Improvements / Changes

• Leveling projects are created with setting for distance entry mode (user-entered or always use a default).
• Leveling projects Fieldbook Export now has multiple formats to choose from.
• Clipboard has been updated to allow up to 10 items. Use [Shift]+[Copy] and [Shift}+{Paste] from any input field to copy and paste to/from the expanded clipboard.

• English terminology update to use the term 'Bearing' for all directions. The term 'Azimuth' was previously used unless the direction setting was set to 'Quadrant Bearings'. In abbreviated form you will see [QB→B] and [B→QB] to convert between quadrant bearings and full circle bearings.
