Suggestion: include track length in gpx files?
« on: April 23, 2006, 02:39:24 PM »
Hi,

The GPX specification allows for a <cmt> field within a <trk> - which is already accessible in Topofusion by right clicking on a track and choosing Edit Track Information.  Would it be difficult to have Topofusion put the total track length there (e.g. "4.1 miles") instead of leaving it blank by default?  I've been adding it by hand when I use the gpx files elsewhere (e.g. overlaying them on googlemaps) and it's very handy not to have to recalculate the track length.

Still love the program and recommend it to people.  As always, thanks!

Not a bad idea.  May as well fill some of those fields with useful info rather than blanks.  Pretty easy to delete if you want to change.

I'll add it as "to do."
