Wish List:  Remember 'GoTo' requests
« on: December 01, 2004, 06:11:49 PM »
For me, remembering the last GoTo request and presenting it in the dialog would be a signigicant help.

The brass ring would be to add a new submenu to 'GoTo': GoTo|WayPoint.   Then a combo box could be populated with waypoints and the user could just choose the one they needed.

Maybe I'm mis-using TopoFusion, but what I find myself doing is slowly building up tilesets of various areas around where I live.  

I then reference various tilesets to map out bike rides.  Understood that there's really only one tileset in Maps0.dat....but conceptually, I think of different sets as they are clustered about various geographic points....hence the desire to remember 'GoTo' requests by name.   Then the user could hop around their area at will - without having to recall and type sets of Lat/Long numbers.

One good way to navigate around between different areas is to simply have trackfiles or waypoints at that area.  Load up the file, then double click on it on the active file list to go directly there.

Also, zooming way out and panning around if it's within the same state or region works really well.

But I like your idea of keeping previous goto requests around for easy access.  I'll think about it.

Aha!   I think it's finally dawning on me why I don't want *everything* in one file....

If I really wanted tb cute, I guess I could create dummy trackfiles with just a single way point in each to take me where I want to go.
