Archived Support / Endless Hourglass?

« on: January 18, 2005, 05:50:32 PM »

Happens with more than one rez combo, but I just now tried to switch from TOPO 16m to TOPO 8m and now I've got an endless hourglass.   I'll have to use TaskManager to kill the app.

Something to do with my internet connection?  I'm on dialup at 42k....  

I've done quite a bit of work in TopoFusion without this problem occurring - but I can't document exactly when it started or precisely what provokes it....except as above.

Anybody else?

Archived Support / Function of <trkseg> ?

« on: December 02, 2004, 06:19:57 PM »

To better my understanding.... what's the intent of having separate <trkseg>'s instead of just having all the <trkpt>'s under one <trk>?

Archived - Feedback and Comments / Wish List:  Remember 'GoTo' requests

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.

Archived Support / How to build on an existing 'Track'?

« on: December 01, 2004, 05:06:17 PM »

I've been incrementing an existing track by using the Draw Track tool, but every time I try to save, it requires me to save a new .gpx file.

Seems like I'm missing something in understanding how the app works.   Intuitively, I would expect that once I open a .gpx file, all changes that I make will be applied to that file.

Understood that when I open up TopoFusion, it automagically opens up all .gpx files in the designated "Default Tracks Directory".    But then I can "remove" undesired track files via the UI in the pane beneath the map.  After "removing" all except one file, it seems like I should at least have the option of saving TrackSeg increments into that file - as I can with WayPoints - instead of being forced to start a new file.

Right now, I'm going with the flow and saving to a new file.   Then I open up the new file with NotePad and copy the new <trkseg> into the file where I really want it.

Seems like I'm missing how to cause an incremental <trkseg> to go to one of the open files - as I am currently succesfully doing with WayPoints.

Anybody?

Archived Support / Long clocks, then 'Application Not Responding'?

« on: December 01, 2004, 09:23:11 AM »

I'm getting a *lot* of these - especially when moving from one topo size to another as a result of rolling my mouse's wheel.   In the end, I have to kill TopoFusion via TaskManager.

Anybody else?

Dialup connection.   LogiTech MX 1000 mouse.

Archived Support / Downloading Disabled - from the git-go

« on: October 28, 2004, 05:06:20 PM »

Downloaded TopoFusion, fired it up, and the first thing it said was "TopoFusion
is having trouble contacting TerraServer, internet downloading is now disabled."

However, when I pointed my browser at http://www.terraserver.microsoft.com to
get an image of my home town (http://tinyurl.com/4hldj), there was no problem.

I've toggled 'Internet Downloading' many times.  Restarted many times.   Same message.

v2.1

Sounds like I'm doing something dumb...but what?
