[QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [QB] [QUOTE] But is that an update of the earlier version (as I've not seen the prior one, I cant say) or is it something he came up with from scratch? [/QUOTE]The latter. Or, the real stars and other highlights of our galaxy of course stay unchanged, but the original coordinate system error in the Maps is corrected for Charts. Just about anything and everything relating to Trek is changed, though. Basis for this change is the load of new data on that universe, largely outdating everything in the Maps, from relative locations to relative distances to planet classification systems to sector hierarchies. Also, any onscreen graphics depicting the Trek galaxy are integrated to the Charts if at all possible. What remains of the Maps are the subtle references to the animated series and certain novels. The look of the two works is different, too (the Charts being a book with some fold-out pages, rather than a collection of "loose-leaf" maps, for one). You'd be hard pressed to guess these come from the same author if it didn't say so on the cover. :) Timo Saloniemi [/QB][/QUOTE]
