Archived Support / PhotoFusion Confusion

« on: October 13, 2004, 08:53:26 PM »

I wanted to report back that I'll have to attribute this problem to "USER ERROR". When changing the time stamp on photos using Exifer, the EXIF headers were getting messed up. I think I was getting too carried away with this exciting capability of placing photos along my GPS tracks and wasn't taking my time to do things properly.

So, I slowed down and got more organized. I started with the original photos again, modifed the date taken time stamp, then successfully had PhotoFusion place them along my GPS track as expected.

The reason I wanted to do this is to place a photo of a trail head at the beginning of the track. I took the photo before the track was started, so I couldn't use your time shifting as described above.

Thanks again for an awesome product!

Archived Support / Tracks don't download fully

Yes, I use the Older Garmin setting when using my GPS 12MAP. I have a track in my GPS right now that's getting cut off. I'd be willing to run the debug version.

I just watched the download again and, in this case, it starts downloading the first part of the track (I see the red line on the map), then it erases the line, then it starts a new line where it left off and continues to the end of the track.

Archived Support / Garmin Forerunner 201

TopoFusion will directly read from the Forerunner. Just hook up your Forerunner to your PC and do a GPS Transfer. You'll get a table of tracks from the Forerunner. Although, I can't figure out how it decides which tracks to download. I always get less than I know are on the Forerunner. It seems to go back maybe two months? Anyway, once you get the table, I've found it's cleanest to select one track and click on Save Selected.

Archived - Feedback and Comments / Aerial and Digital Photo Comparison

« on: October 04, 2004, 09:16:03 PM »

As I was examining what TopoFusion and PhotoFusion can do, I was looking at different views of my recent hike compared to photos from the hike. I ended up with a 3D aerial photo that nearly matches my digital photo of the same area.

Feel free to download the photos for an easier side-by-side comparison.

I must say I find TopoFusion to be an amazingly useful tool and fun as heck to play with!

I've had the same problem with my GPS 12 MAP. I have tracks that don't fully download. Actually, they seem to download but the beginning of them gets cut off as soon as the download is complete.

Archived Support / PhotoFusion Confusion

I've been playing with the PhotoFusion capability and believe I have managed to confuse the application. I'm in a condition now where I cannot Generate HTML ImageMap. When I press the button, nothing happpens. I don't get an error message and I don't get a progress bar. Also, the Refresh button is grayed out.

I have successfully generated HTML using this track and photos before, but now it's stopped working. By "playing", here's what I mean:

1) I've renamed photo files after I first generated the HTML and tried to regenerate the same HTML with the new file names.

2) I've used an application named "Exifer" to change the time stamp of my photos to properly align them with the track time. (My GPS and camera time were off, so I'm trying to fool PhotoFusion by changing the photo time.)

3) When I was able to generate HTML, all of the photos in the directory were not included in the final output. This was after I had changed the time stamps so there could be some relation to that.

I would appreciate any help you can offer. I'll be glad to send the track and photos if that will help you.

On a side note, I find TopoFusion to be a wonderful tool and great fun to explore and play with. Yesterday, I managed to produce a 3D aerial photo that's almost a duplicate of a digital photo I took out on a trail. I'll get them posted and give you a link to them. It's really quite remarkable to see them side-by-side.
