Latest version

WORLDMAP is under continuing development for research projects and is updated at least every month.

Before using it to carry out any analyses, please ensure that you have the most recent version:

v4.19.25 (24.XI.99)

• Maximum-coverage sets of areas for a budget

If you find any bugs, or have any queries or suggestions, please contact us.
 
 

These are listed by build number and date. To find the version and build number (e.g. v4.00.00) for a copy of Worldmap, click on the 'Help' menu from the top bar, and then on the option 'About Worldmap'.
