TopoFusion Pro / Storing Tiles

« on: December 06, 2013, 04:36:06 PM »

Scott:
Sometimes I am away from Internet Access for weeks at a time when riding my ATV.
Would it be possible to store areas (images) on an external hard drive to access when on camping trips for rides?
Topos not so much, but Aerial images would be a big help. Topos contain trails that may have been there 10 years ago, but Aerials show what is there now.
Thanks,

TopoFusion Pro / New Version Doesn't Want To Load

Well Scott, your newest version doesn't want to load on my machine. Again.

I had some troubles and had to Format the hard drive. So it came time to reinstall Topo Fusion and it failed to load.

Here is the Error Log:

Could it be that I need a more advanced driver fro DirectX?
Just spent three hours downloading other stuff.

TopoFusion Pro / Making A Route, And Sending It To GPS Unit

« on: March 13, 2010, 10:23:42 AM »

I am curious as to what others experiences are.

My use for Topo Fusion is to make routes for ATV rides in the back country of Idaho. Topo Fusion is the best tool out there because it combines the best of all worlds in viewing Sat. images, Tiger data, and topo maps.

Now for the but.

When I make a route in Topo Fusion and send it to the GPS (in this case a Nuvi 500) it doesn't show up as a route. In fact the 500 ignores it completely. So what I have done in the past is to save it as a gpx. Then open it in Map Source, trace it with the route tool, then use the edit/cut, close Map Source, open a new Map Source, edit/paste, and then save it as a route. Then send it to the GPS as a route. Then it show up in "My Data" and can be imported.

So tell me, is there an easier way? I'm all ears!
