• Improved full-page template editing, north arrow choices, and coordinate-table review after OCR.
• Shared or separate station numbering on retraced control routes, annotation editing, and project-state defaults for selecting control datasets.
• Esri and OpenStreetMap imagery alongside the existing basemap options. Provider-specific configuration and attribution are documented in the basemap guide.
• One launch reminder when a usable licence has less than 30 days remaining.

GEO3NEX 0.27.0

Estate Layout Generator (Master)

• Generate editable estate proposals from the real parcel boundary with exact plot dimensions, real coordinates and connected road access.
• Choose automatic, manual or follow-existing roads; classify roads as external, proposed access or internal; set road width, setbacks, frontage, back-to-back plots and reserved land.
• Compare Maximum Plot Count, Minimum Wasted Land, Maximum Regularity and Balanced alternatives. Remaining land can be reserved, distributed or used for compliant additional plots.
• Inspect and edit plots with undo/redo, then export the shared plan as PDF, PNG, ground-coordinate DXF and CSV plot schedules.

Projects and recovery

• New Project now captures the complete project and plan information before creating the job, including address, State/LGA, registration, orientation and custom paper sizes.
• Project names and imported-coordinate descriptions no longer overwrite one another, and project replacement/save operations use safer atomic files.
• Configurable automatic recovery snapshots protect dirty projects without overwriting the original project.

Plans, templates and coordinates

• The template editor adds draggable plan elements, grouping, ordering, styling, rulers, margins, zoom and pan while retaining the existing template library and shared renderer.
• The Coordinate Converter now has a clearer side-by-side input/output workflow with CRS and transformation details.

Base maps and stability

• Google Map Tiles handling now reuses sessions, deduplicates concurrent requests and respects provider cache/attribution metadata. Google satellite imagery still requires the user's own enabled Google Maps Platform key.
• NASA GIBS Blue Marble is available as a key-free coarse regional reference layer; it is not parcel-resolution evidence.
• Rendering, persistence, export, licence gating and geometric area accounting received focused stability fixes.

GEO3NEX 0.26.0

Composite Plan Plotter

• The composite plan on paper can now be inspected: zoom in and out (mouse wheel, + and -), pan by dragging, Fit Page, Fit Composite and Reset (100%). Zooming only changes what you see; the plan, its scale and every export are unchanged.
• Parcels can now come from the job you have open (its survey parcel or any closed boundary on the canvas, used as the real geometry), from new coordinates (the same importers as before), or from another saved GeoProject. You choose which parcels to add; the other job is only read and is never changed.

Roads

• A road made along a parcel edge can now be set off from the land edge by a distance in metres, outside or inside the land. The distance is measured square to the edge in the survey coordinates; a live sketch in the Road window shows the result. 0 leaves the road on the edge as before.

GEO3NEX 0.24.0

New: Parcel Report

• Survey > Parcel Report creates a PDF for the open parcel: a summary, the area in square metres, square feet, acres and hectares, the perimeter, a plan view, every boundary coordinate (with latitude and longitude when the coordinate system is known), the bearings and distances, technical details and a note you can edit.
• Only what is in the project is shown; anything not entered says "Not provided". Long tables continue on further pages with their headings repeated.
• Included in every licence except Mini.

New: Composite Plan Plotter

• Survey > Composite Plan Plotter puts several parcels on one sheet (A4 to A0, Legal or a custom size, either orientation) and exports PDF, PNG or DXF.
• Each parcel keeps its true shape and is drawn at its own standard scale, written under it. Parcels are arranged automatically without overlapping, in a row or column, or placed by hand.
• Included in the Master and Superb licences.

DXF export

• Bold text in a DXF now uses the same typeface as the plan on screen, so the line under a heading is as long as the heading and bold coordinate labels no longer run into their leader lines in AutoCAD.
• The numbers on the scale bar now follow the plan's text size, like the rest of the survey text, instead of being smaller.

Licences

• Parcel Report and the Composite Plan Plotter are new licence features; licences issued earlier receive them according to their tier without needing a refresh.

GEO3NEX 0.23.1

• Fixed: after updating to 0.23.0 the Project Hub could stay busy and never settle. GEO3NEX kept re-checking an unchanged licence and treating each check as a change. An unchanged licence no longer triggers a change, so the Hub becomes idle.
• Fixed: a licence check can no longer fail because the licence clock record is briefly in use by another part of GEO3NEX, and the background licence refresh no longer ends with an unreported error.
• The licence clock record is written when the time has moved on by half a minute, not on every check.

GEO3NEX 0.23.0

Licences

• Licences now have a tier: Master, Superb, Regular or Mini. The tier is set by the administrator and signed into your licence, and it decides which features are available. Existing licences become Master, so nothing you have today is taken away.
• A change of tier reaches GEO3NEX the next time it verifies your licence (at start-up, or Refresh in the License window). No reinstall is needed.
• Features your tier does not include are shown dimmed with the reason, and your projects stay intact and open normally.
• GEO3NEX Cloud requires a Master licence.

Survey plans and import

• Import Survey Plan: common OCR misreadings are repaired and the raw text is kept; the start coordinate and legs are shown for review, and the corners are recomputed when you correct one. Missing or unreadable data is explained rather than guessed, and the closing error is reported, never forced shut.
• PL command: each vertex can be typed as @distance<bearing or as Easting,Northing, mixed freely. Invalid input leaves the figure unchanged.
• Normal survey plans: optional FROM / TO / BEARING / DISTANCE table, coordinate call-outs, and a reference coordinate above the table. They are movable, undoable, saved with the plan and appear in PDF, PNG and DXF.
• Heading, title block, north arrow, table rows and scale bar follow the paper size.

Appearance

• The black strip on a maximised window at 125% display scaling is fixed.
• Brand colours refined from the logo.

Updates and security

• Update information is now signed by GEO3NEX. GEO3NEX checks the signature, the file size and the SHA-256 of the installer before it is run, and refuses anything that does not match.
• Licensing is only contacted over HTTPS. The licence clock record on your computer is now protected, and a licence cannot be used with a clock earlier than when it was issued.
• A local security log (in %LOCALAPPDATA%\GEO3NEX\Logs) records refused updates. It is never sent anywhere.

Changes

• DWG export has been removed. DXF export is available in every tier, and DWG/DXF import is unchanged.
• This installer is not yet code-signed, so Windows may show a SmartScreen warning.

GEO3NEX 0.21.0

• Draw by typing, now with a live preview: after the first PL point the view goes to it and a rubber-band line with distance and bearing follows your pointer. Click to add a corner, or keep typing legs; C closes, Esc cancels.
• Import Survey Plan (File, Import): read a PDF, JPG or PNG plan. Vector PDFs are read directly; scans use Windows text recognition. Check every recognised value before importing; calibrate a picture against known coordinates to trace a parcel on it.
• Control Survey now takes you to the Control Database when three controls are not selected, and the database recommends the best three controls of one type around your parcel.
• Survey plan layout: the title block and scale bar move together (or separately), with align, nudge and spacing controls, separate move modes for parcel, title block and scale bar, and five scale-bar styles.
• Undo/redo (Ctrl+Z, Ctrl+Y) works in the plan editor and control mapping editor, and never interferes with typing in text boxes.
• Save As now offers the right file type for DWG, KML and KMZ exports.
• Toolbar icons, a clearer command bar, and a title bar that follows the light/dark theme.
• Upgrade over 0.16 or later: projects, templates, settings, the license and Cloud data are kept.

GEO3NEX 0.20.0

• Windows: every window opens inside the screen at any scaling and remembers its size and place; the plan windows' Close button works.
• Licensing: the offline allowance is now 7 days.
• Survey plan: State and Local Government are dropdowns (36 States and the FCT, 774 LGAs); 1:2500 scale; the title block can be dragged; scale-bar text follows the plan's fonts and case.
• Control mapping: the traverse arcs, lines between controls and their distances and bearings are blue; more route shapes (stepped, dog-leg); every leg stays under 400 m.
• Draw by typing: type PL in the command line under the canvas, then a first point as Easting,Northing and legs as @distance<bearing (40d22', 40°22', 40-22-00). C closes, Enter accepts, Esc cancels, U undoes a leg.
• Tools menu: NNO to UTM conversion (from the supplied workbook, with an optional CFA station list) and a general coordinate conversion window.
• Export: DWG (a real AutoCAD file), and KML/KMZ for Google Earth, beside PDF, DXF and PNG.
• Look: Windows title bars follow the light or dark theme; command icons.
• CFA stations: only the 70 legible stations from the supplied register scan are included; CFA 4, 5 and 6 were cross-checked, the rest are transcribed from handwriting and should be confirmed.
• Upgrade over 0.16 or later: projects, templates, settings, the license and Cloud data are kept.

GEO3NEX 0.19.1

• Google Maps: the map request was missing a field Google requires, so no imagery could ever load. Fixed. If the map cannot show, the status bar now says why (no API key, no coordinate system for the project, or Google's own reason) instead of staying silent.
• Plan windows: what you set in the Normal Survey Plan or Control Mapping window is now saved with the project even if you save, or close GEO3NEX, while the window is still open.
• Updates: the update from the start-up prompt no longer fails because its connection was closed too early. The installer is told which installation to update (per-user or all-users), its result is checked, and if an update cannot be installed GEO3NEX tells you and keeps the version you had.
• Removed a setting ("Show the key plan on the main survey plan") that no longer did anything, and unused sample-survey code.
• Upgrade over 0.16 or later: projects, templates, settings, the license and Cloud data are kept.

GEO3NEX 0.19.0

• Separate Survey Plan Windows: Normal Survey Plan and Control Mapping Survey Plan are now decoupled into independent, dedicated top-level windows (NormalSurveyPlanWindow and ControlMappingWindow) with single-instance lifecycle management and independent presentation states.
• Normal Survey Plan Modes: Normal survey plan supports Technical Blue Mode and Standard Black Mode.
• Control Mapping Black Mode Standards: Control mapping strictly adheres to technical black linework and annotations with semantic color coding for boundaries, origin, coordinates, and coordinate ties.
• Clean Workspace Startup: Application launches directly into a blank workspace with no default demo parcel or dummy coordinates.
• Google Maps Basemap Integration: Refined tile engine with proactive status bar guidance when project CRS or Google Maps API key is unconfigured.
• Multi-Output Rendering Parity: Complete visual and structural consistency across desktop canvas preview, PDF exports, DXF exports, and PNG rasterization.
