New FeaturesMultipane windows - ‘global macros’
• Many kinds of data in one window
• Ideal soulution for “stamp maps” forEPS members and time series
• Arbitrary layout
• Time connection
• Possibility for special “scan pane”
• The layout and contents can be saved in ‘global macro’

New FeaturesCentrally updated configuration
Where to run HAWK? One server or individual PCs?
For local workstations:
automatic update system
–Easy administration
–Same configuration everywhere

New FeaturesOther improvements
• Automatic layer order– optional
– depending on the layers’ visualisation type (raster, lines, symbols, etc.)
• Automatic data update– arbitrary frequency
• Shared cache memory for loaded data– avoid redundant data loading and storing faster and more efficient
memory usage
– mainly for constant data (topography, coastlines, borders, etc.)
• Documentation, built in User’s Guide

Short term Plans
• Additional data types: TEMP, AMDAR, Lightnings on map
• TEMP, AMDAR on Emagram• Pictures as layers in the HAWK• Printing (Postscript, raster)
