Updated Marias Pass 3.1, Templates, Activites etc. Options

[jrmeindl]

Norm had asked me if I would consider updating the Marias Pass 3.1 templates if needed. I took a quick look at all the documentation provided with all the updates that have been released so far and at the actual route layout in the activity editor. I haven't seen any additions that stand out so far regarding track layout which includes and siding being named or renamed. Most of those were taken care of in the original 3.1 release. I did take a look at the serial number of the track database. The latest version is 190 with a date of 11/09/2008. The original I have was at 177 with a date of 09/19/2002. I tried to unpack a few older activities that I have. I did get a notice that advised me of the track database change, but the activity did continue to install. I was able to start and run the activity with no issues. I have yet to do line by line comparison of the two databases, but will within the next day or so. Per the documentation, there were changes made to the actual rails. That in itself is a good thing. I did create an activity that takes me from Whitefish to Shelby to test the route for any missed issues. Currently, I think the templates are still good and won't need any updating. Older activities should still work, but will generate a message advising of the database change.
