TopoFusion Pro / UTM values getting switched when setting waypoint
« on: July 19, 2020, 03:33:28 PM »
When saving a waypoint, the UTM easting and northing values are being swapped.
I have TopoFusion Pro set to US Topo
Options / Preferences / Units / Coordinate type = UTM, Datum selection = WGS 84
Zoom to someplace like Delta Utah
Click the waypoint flag icon in the toolbar
Click on Delta
>> the Add Waypoint dialog comes up
set File to add waypoint to: New File
set Name to "test point"
note UTM Coordinates are something close to "0363783.35 4357407.49" and UTM Zone = 12
click OK
>> file dialog appears
set name to "waypt test"
click Save
In the file list below the map, double click on the new file
**Welcome to Colombia...
Right click on the waypoint / Edit waypoint
** notice the UTM Coordinates are now: 4357407.49 0363783.35
Neat workaround: edit one of the UTM decimals, click OK
Double click the file again
**Back to Utah...
Appears the easting and northing are being reversed on Add Waypoint save
Thanks!
