SoftmicaCalc - a Primarily Offline Solution
SoftmicaCalc is primarily an offline solution that doesn't
require an internet connection to utilize most of its capability. Those
functions that do require a connection operate only briefly to retrieve online
data.
Those functions are:
- Retrieving
the coordinates for a new location in the Distance Calculator. (You can
also manually enter lat/long coordinates)
- Retrieving
the driving distance between any two saved locations. If the location is
in your saved waypoint pair (SWP), the driving distance is saved with that
pair so internet access isn't required for driving distance in SWPs.
- Updating
currency conversion rates in the Currency Conversion Calculator. Once the
rates are updated, all of the rates are saved for offline use so you can
use the Currency Conversion Calculator without an internet connection.
(You can update rates once every five minutes, and all rates are updated
during a single request.)
- Obtaining
the closing stock price in the stock prices form for stocks in the
"purchased" list. Currently only the previous day-closing stock
prices are downloaded due to limitations in the API key used by
SoftmicaCalc. In future releases this limitation will be eliminated and
you'll be able to get real-time quotes if desired.
With its offline strength, SoftmicaCalc provides the
ultimate power, speed, and flexibility. Unlike many other specialized tools,
our Conversion Functions calculator works seamlessly, offering
accuracy and reliability without depending on constant internet connectivity.
