TopoFusion Pro / Re: Font problem (?) with TopoFusion Pro

« on: February 01, 2009, 05:00:04 PM »

It is the nVidia video adapter built into a Dell C840 laptop.  The driver is version 4.2.5.8 dated 2/10/03.

BTW I'm having the same problem on my desktop.  I emailed a screen capture of the problem from my desktop computer.

TopoFusion Pro / Re: Font problem (?) with TopoFusion Pro

I updated the video driver to the latest available (according to the Dell support page).  No change.  I think this laptop displayed properly a while back.  I have to qualify that with 'I think' because it may have been my old laptop that displayed properly.

TopoFusion Pro / Font problem (?) with TopoFusion Pro

« on: January 28, 2009, 11:43:24 AM »

I am having a problem with the fonts displayed for the scale and all other text on the map screen.  I am currently using TF Pro V 3.61, but the problem has occurred in the last several versions I have used.  It appears the font is so large or so heavy that the text becomes unreadable blocks.  The direction arrows also become large squares instead of arrows.

I have updated the version of TF several times and the problem has continued thru each update.  Today I loaded TF on a different computer - the problem did *NOT* occur.  So I changed all of the TF option settings in my laptop to match the TF option settings on the test laptop.  The problem continued. I tried the "Return to Default" button under Preferences/Fonts several times on several different versions to no avail.  I am at a loss on what to try next.  My guess is there is either a setting in TF that is not apparent to me or there is setting in Windows that affects TF.  At the user level (me), I don't have enough info to know where to look.

I am willing to lose all of my settings on my laptop if there is a configuration file that could be deleted or replaced.

Thanks for making such a great program.  We really enjoy using it for all of our activities.

User Projects / Topofusion in video

Sorry, I thought I was posting this on the suggestions board but I followed a link and posted it here by mistake.

I was going to suggest the same thing.  I will check the links for more info.

Starting the video and TF at the same time will work as long as the video is continuous or at least long segments.  However, I use the helmet cam snow skiing with an hour long miniDV tape.  I generally get a full day of skiing on a tape because I shut off the camera when on the lifts or on groomed runs.  I don't want to be changing the tape during the day because the camera is buried in my backpack with wires running everywhere.  I have a similar problem windsurfing - the 2Gig SD card on the waterproof camera is only good for an hour of video.  At least it is easier to change but I have to come ashore to change it.

Looks like I will have to match the video and the TF track during editing.

TopoFusion Pro / Problme with transfer from Garmin to TF Pro 3.32

« on: June 15, 2008, 02:55:47 PM »

I started having a data transfer problem.  When I transfer tracks from a Garmin Rino 120 to TF Pro 3.32, everything appears fine until I try to save the track.  Then I get an error saying something like "Could not get date format from win.ini".  This happens 3 times then an error message for type mismatch comes up.  At that point TF shuts down leaving the list of tracks open.  It takes several attempts to "End Now" TF from the windows Task Manager.  TF finally ends after several attempts (2 or 3).  The track has been saved and is usable when TF is opened again.

I have not tested this problem on different computers.  I have tested it with a yellow Garmin eTrex and 3 different Rino120's and it happens on all.  It is happening on a Dell laptom running Windows XP Pro.  If I recall when this first started I think I had just updated TF BEFORE the latest version (about a year ago?).  I had hoped the 3.32 version would fix it, but it did not.  Once it started,  happens on ever attempt to save a track log.

Love the program.  Keep up the good work.  Will post suggestions for improvements separately.
