Archived - Feedback and Comments / Suggestion: include track length in gpx files?

« on: April 23, 2006, 02:39:24 PM »

Hi,

The GPX specification allows for a <cmt> field within a <trk> - which is already accessible in Topofusion by right clicking on a track and choosing Edit Track Information.  Would it be difficult to have Topofusion put the total track length there (e.g. "4.1 miles") instead of leaving it blank by default?  I've been adding it by hand when I use the gpx files elsewhere (e.g. overlaying them on googlemaps) and it's very handy not to have to recalculate the track length.

Still love the program and recommend it to people.  As always, thanks!

Archived - Feedback and Comments / Keyboard shortcuts

Hi,

I just registered Sunday night - what a terrific program!

I do have a couple of questions/suggestions.

Is there a list of keyboard shortcuts?  In particular I would like to be able to select different tools without mousing up to the menu bar.  I'm using TopoFusion on my laptop and it's pretty tedious with a trackpad.

For "cleaning" GPS tracks it would be nice to select a range of trackpoints in the list under file properties and have those same points be highlighted on the map (and vice versa).  It works for clicking on single point in the list but last night I wanted to delete large sections of a track which is easy in the list but I needed to see which points they were on the map.

Equivalently, if there were some way to see trackpoint numbers on the map I could see the ends of the section I want to delete.  Maybe a tooltip-style popup when the mouse pointer hovers over a trackpoint?

Again, great program and thanks.
