TopoFusion Pro / Re: Virus Detected?

Thanks for the quick reply. I believe there is an "allow" option in the antivirus program. I just wanted to make sure before I did anything.

TopoFusion Pro / Virus Detected?
« on: June 18, 2020, 08:21:12 AM »
Hi,
I went to use the Pro software today and it was removed from my computer....I thought that was very strange, but chalked it up to some odd glitch. So I went to the download page and entered my credentials to re-download the software and when I clicked on the EXE file, I got a message that the download failed because a virus was detected. I clicked on the message and took a screenshot that I've attached to this post.
Terrible timing for all this as I am supposed to create some maps for some clients today.

TopoFusion Pro / Re: Combo View
« on: May 28, 2020, 01:27:33 PM »
I think, somehow, it is related in some way, maybe? Everytime that crash happened from panning the map (it did it several more times when panning, as you say), I would have to re-enable combo view from the drop down box on the top right. It would, in effect, turn off combo view, as if I had used that drop down box to choose a single map.

Well.....nevermind. I turned it off for about an hour and when I turned it back on, it was working again.

TopoFusion Pro / Combo View
« on: May 26, 2020, 07:40:27 AM »
Hi,
This morning I was working on some maps. I have been using the MyTopo and NZ map in the combo view, which gives me most of the information I need. As I'm looking at the screen, the map changes color slightly. Then a crash dialog pops up. Not knowing what yet had happened, I just dismissed the crash dialog. Once that was gone, I noticed that some of the combined features were not showing on my map. I opened the dialog for the combo view and after a moment of clicking around, I realize that there is only one map showing in the combo view. NOTHING I click on will make it show two combined maps. Not event the presets. I can now only show one single map at a time. I've closed the program and opened it back up again, but the combo view still doesn't work.
Any suggestions?

This one does load, however.

I just pushed out a new version with new USGS maps and the "advanced track tools" dialog, among other things. Have you found the land ownership blend mode? It might be of interest.I can't seem to get the land ownership to blend with the MyTopo, using the dialog box. It seems it won't download? Others, do, however. I blended the MyTopo map and the USTopo map, and that works (and also shows private land boundary lines) and gives me a few newer trails that the older MyTopo doesn't show. I also can't get the JuicyTrail to load in blended mode (I don't know that map, but it sounded interesting to I tried it). I've attached some screenshots so you can see what I mean.

I can't recreate the crash when printing to landscape mode, so I'm puzzled on that one for now. I tried it on all my various printing devices. I believe that error has been reported before, so I need to hunt it down.Bought the Pro version and tried to print and same issue. It will print so long as I leave it in the mode it's currently in, but if I try to switch from one to the other, it freezes.

Well, it does sound as if this will be an ongoing development, with hopes of it getting to where I would need it to be at some point, so I am going to purchase the Pro version. Thanks so much for working on this.

I've attached an example of the info of the maps that MapPass used to have available, just for clarification.

Thanks for the quick reply!
Do you think you could add a scale, too? (Or is there already a way to add a map scale?) So that people could see what distance equals 2000 feet, or a mile, etc?

For printing I recommend using the 'export view' function to output a BMP or JPG file, then printing that. You can get a higher resolution export that way.I'll take a look at that, thanks.

Freezing in the print dialog isn't a demo limitation -- let me look into that.I sent in a crash report twice, if that helps.

TF doesn't have tick marks or any declination option. So would the current grid option work just without the lines that go across the map?Yes, that would be helpful. It's distracting when trying to see topo features with all the lines. I'm assuming the grid lines are true north?

I haven't looked at declination but adding a diagram probably isn't too hard -- have it as an option for printing and exporting.That would really be wonderful. The MapPass site used to do that. It allowed you to do full length lines or tic marks around the edges and then gave a small diagram at the bottom of the map for a declination for that area. What I have my students do is use the declination line normally found at the bottom corner of most topo maps to draw their own magnetic north lines on the map for orienting their maps in the field. Much easier than always trying to remember the declination "remember a certain number to add or subtract" formula.

Hope that helps, and sorry about missing some orienteering options. Perhaps we can add them in the near future.That would be fabulous. That would honestly bring in a whole 'nother group of people from all over to your software. Orienteering is a hugely popular sport and growing all the time. While I teach to many types of people, my specialty is orienteering on horseback for people that want to camp and trail ride all over the country.

TopoFusion Pro / Questions about Pro
« on: May 12, 2020, 01:38:22 PM »
Hello,
I have been taking a look at the Pro demo before I see about buying it and I have some questions. I teach orienteering, so being able to create and print maps as part of my lessons and clinics is very important.
I have tried to print by landscape instead of portrait, but every time I try to choose the setting for landscape, TopoFusion freezes and I have to use the task manager to close it. Is this just a Demo issue, or does the paid for version do the same thing?
Is there a way to create tics for the UTMs instead of full grid patterns across the entire map?
Is there a way to add declination information to a map? Maybe a declination diagram or something?
I am really liking this software so far, but these things would really be important to what I need this software for. I've been looking for something to replace the MyTopo MapPass website that is being discontinued.
