The "Stay at Home" directive from local authorities has given me time to dig out a couple of projects I'd put on the backburner last year.

I'd run into problems building the "Map Finder" app for distribution when I was working on it previously. Today I dusted the project off and finally sorted out the build issues.

The app uses a cross platform gui for python called Kivy that theoretically allows an application to run on macOS, Windows, Linux, iOS and Android.

"Map Finder" uses a database back end to display and filter a listing of engine maps based on a set of criteria - Vehicle, Engine, Wheelbase or Transmission and finally Market. The idea was/is that this will end up as part of a cross platform tool for generating and manipulating Td5 engine map formats.
