Here is the gpx file, in case that might help you figure out what is going on -

Archived Support / broken data export function

« on: March 11, 2005, 09:17:59 PM »

Version 2.50 seems to have broken the export data function, at least as it relates to elevation climb and loss data.  If you select Analysis|Lap Analysis|Export to Excel, below is the csv file that you get.  Note all the zeros.  It happens with all my files and I can see the elevation data in other parts of Topofusion (e.g. profiles and elevation shading on tracks) and in other programs (Forerunner logbook, BackupForerunner).

Lap,Distance,Moving Time,Climb,Loss,Stopped Time

Archived Support / Logbook problem?

« on: February 16, 2005, 05:43:32 PM »

The logbook appears to only display the most recent exercise on a particular day.  Is there a way to get those cool summary stats for the earlier exercise?  I did two runs in one day for the first time and realized that TF only shows one exercise per day.

This is cool.  Never thought of using it that way.

Beta Testing / 2.12 3D gamma

« on: November 02, 2004, 10:14:18 PM »

Thanks for the response. I forgot to mention that I discovered that a simple image editing program like ACDSee can lighten up the image if needed.  Even though the elevation is pretty exagerated, this picture actually looks more like the terrain than the VE=0 picture.  In fact, the elevated area is often referred to as "the East Bench" by the local community because of the elevation gain.  The descent and climb in the park area is also quite noticeable when you run on it.  

What I learned from this is that the VE feature is more useful on a practical level (as opposed to an aesthetic level) for people that train in areas where elevation changes are less than a couple hundred feet, but steep.  As I mentioned above, I typically use a VE=2 or 3 because I do a lot of trail running in the hills around Salt Lake and those settings seem to reflect the "look" of that terrain much better.

Archived Support / Garmin Forerunner 201

This was puzzling me too.  I agree that it it appears the Forerunner is sending the information to TF and, over time, it appears to phase out the old tracks.  TF always gets the new tracks and I always just save then newest track with a descriptive name and date.

Beta Testing / 2.12 3D gamma

« on: October 31, 2004, 11:39:31 AM »

I noticed something a little strange that happens in this version when you increase the vertical exageration (VE) (to show terrain changes in an area with gradual terrain changes, for example).  I am not sure if it happened in older versions.

The 3D image gets substantially darker as you increase the VE.  I usually run VE at 2 or 3, but in the case of the file linked below, it didn't show enough of the terrain change, so I increased it.  If you have the 3D image open, you can see the terrain change and the image simulataneously darkens up as the terrain gets more exagerated.  Just a little strange, so I thought I'd point it out.  Let me know if you need more details or explanation.

p.s. I am sure you have heard this many times, but this is a great program.  If you search on the term topofusion in this link - Yahoo GarminF group, you will see that it has become the program of choice for most of the users in this large (and growing) Yahoo group.  I have been recommending your program to GPS users and my triathlon friends for quite some time now.  Desert Sharks forum

Beta Testing / v2.06

« on: August 26, 2004, 09:07:22 AM »

Thanks for fixing the slow 3D on 128mb Radeon cards in this version.  That was driving me nuts.  Great program.  I gave you some good press on my triathlon club's web site.
