On this polar plot, a bitch!  The other mapping program (Pizza) allows you
to go to a rectangular plot, do what you want, then switch back to the
polar plot for presentation.  Deciphering the latitude and longitude from 
the
pixel coordinates is beyond me when using a polar plot.  Not saying it is
impossible, just beyond me.  And to go to rectangular for the data input on
this program means the size scaling would be complicated.   Wouldn't be
easy.

Same problem as in the previous paragraph.  We would have to read
the pixel X and Y coordinates and do simple arithmetic to change those
numbers to latitude and longitude.  On a rectangular plot this is easy.
Not easy on a polar plot

That would indeed be nice.  Probably doable and all it would take
is time.  I am kinda busy with potentially lucrative stuff right now.

Oh yes.  Overnight there were 70 more downloads of the program.
We're up to 572 now.
