TopoFusion on other OS - Mac / Linux / Someway to run in Linux

« on: February 11, 2008, 08:30:28 AM »

I've been using Topofusion Pro for a couple of years now.  I am also in the process of switching to Linux.

Topofusion is the one application that is keeping me dual booting into XP.  Hence this feature request.

Some ideas:

1)  Make a command line option to have Topofusion NOT use directx.  Without directx, Topofusion could be run in an XP emulator within Linux.  I'd prefer this.

2)  Make Topofusion Wine compatible.  A quick search showed that   earlier version did not run in wine.  I'll be looking into the current version soon.  Given that it requires directx9, I'm not hopeful.

3)  A Linux port.

cheers,

Sam

Archived - Feedback and Comments / Continuous Trail Network

« on: June 14, 2006, 10:51:05 AM »

One of the things I like most about TopoFusion is the Make Network function for creating Maps of where I ride.

One of the things I like least is that when I read the .gpx network file back into my Etrex Legend it looks like this:


The problem is that the trail network is created out of a bunch of discontinuous trail segments.  The Legend connects the discontinuous segmenst with straight lines, makeing the map unreadable.

It would be nice if there were an option for the Network function to create a single continuous track.  Yes, I know that the track would have to back-track on itself, so you'd have some redundant data.  One could try to come up with some fancy algorithm for minimizing back-tracks, but I don't really think that is neccessary if you leave it as an option and advertise its limitations.

What do you think?

Archived - Feedback and Comments / google maps

Have you considered using google maps as a source for aerial photos?  They appear to be more up-to-date and of higher quality than terraserver.

Just curious.
