I’ve got GPX files and PowerTap exports from last weekend’s rides. After looking at things in WKO I kept asking myself the same thing, over and over… Yeah, but where was this? Maybe I’m just a map freak, or a visual person, and I know that power experts have learned to use speed/cadence/HR as cues, …. [Continue reading] Paula and I just finished an evening spin around South Table. Gorgeous sunset, zero people out there and the deer count was off the charts. My estimates for the number of deer on the mesa were grossly low. We saw two major herds of 16+, and many other groups of 4-6. Litterally, every 5 minutes …. [Continue reading] Lee called me the other day, saying he was thinking about riding the Colorado Trail from Denver to Leadville. I said, “why not leave from your door, ride to my place, and I’ll give you a ride back.” That was all it took. He swung into action, including fabricating a new steel rack for his …. [Continue reading] TopoFusion HQ has officially moved to Golden, Colorado from its previous hidey hole in Tucson, Arizona. By TopoFusion HQ, of course, I mean myself, Paula and my small array of bicycles. HQ fits in a small sedan with three bikes on top. We’re small, mobile and intelligent. Or something like that. It’s hot in Tucson. …. [Continue reading] Finally got an eTrex Legend CX in. TopoFusion (and other programs) have problems communicating with the new X units, but after an hour and a half of debugging and coding we’ve got X support now. We’ll do a quick beta version and then a full release. It’s a nice little unit and it was cool …. [Continue reading] Yeah, it’s a happening time, for better or worse. TopoFusion was down for almost a week! Ouucch. The server’s root drive crashed and they had it back running a few days later. But for whatever reason they didn’t get things set back up for topofusion.com for several more days, so we’ve now bailed to another …. [Continue reading] Version 2.0 is out, finally. Just as soon as it’s out, we’re off for a trip–3 days of backpacking in the Rincons. After the chaos of paper deadlines, taxes, teaching class and getting 2.0 out, it’s time for a break. When I say break, of course, I mean 3 days of strenuous climbing in some …. [Continue reading] Working on taxes, version 2.0 of TopoFusion (we’re finally out of beta!), and a weekend plan. I found some very excellent topo maps of Mexico at the UofA library, but it sounds like we’ll be backpacking in the Rincons instead. Either suits me, really. Backtracking… 4/11 – Rode the tandum [sic] to the top of …. [Continue reading] The current version has a few bugs that we have fixed; we’re going to be putting together a new version ASAP. If your display bit depth is 16bit, the GIF map tiles will be scrambled and weird colors. It may also give access violations (crashes). The GPSdialog will crash if you try to select the …. [Continue reading] Version 1.5 is up. What’s new? 2 meter topo maps, area calculation, GPX association, trackseg breaking, qsorted map index file and a slew of bug fixes. We’re handling Terraserver’s “internal server errors” almost unnoticably now. Backtracking… 10/22/03 – Went for night ride at Starr Pass with Hottie. Beautiful night. It was interesting to hit pockets …. [Continue reading] Terrasever is once again having problems. TopoFusion is able to grab some tiles, but starts to choke on “internal server errors”. This is about the third time this has happened in the last few months. I added area calculation for tracks and fixed up the “tracksegs” problems–hopefully. We should be releasing a new version soon. Though many thought Thursday’s epic was unbeatable, I was on my bike for 10 minutes longer today. I also took along 4 GPS devices, for a side-by-side comparison. I’ll slap a page together on the results when I have a few minutes. Anyone out there with a ‘maps.dat’ file larger than 2 GB? One user …. [Continue reading] We walked up to Pontotoc Cliffs this morning. Great day and fun hike. There weren’t too many people out there for a nice Sunday morning. In the afternoon I took hottie to the latest Stephen King movie. It was mostly awful, but the CG ‘animatrix’ was somewhat interesting. Paula likes her horror movies, and …. [Continue reading] TopoFusion broke yesterday. Terraserver’s news page indicates they did a major upgrade. A side effect of the upgrade was that all copies of TopoFusion will no longer be able to download maps. Alan has fixed the problem and a new version will be up soon, hopefully. My advisor is collecting data for my project, but he doesn’t use Windows. I found a free linux program called GPSBabel that supposedly will save GPX files. He responded: That program that you list below has very little documentation, and I could not figure out how to get tracks from the device. |
