TopoFusion Pro / My Topo going dead?
« on: June 01, 2016, 12:54:14 PM »
I just found out from a friend of mine that within the next year My Topo is going dead.Is there going to be any real topo maps left for topofusion to uses? Terraserver is dead and I don't consider US TOPO to be real topo maps.My Topo is the best thing besides Terraservers maps.Are real topos dead as far as the whole country in a seamless server like this program offers?

Is there anyway I can go back to 4.41? I really like the black and white aerials and if they are going to keep them open I'd like to go back to an earlier version to have them again.I do a lot of survey work where being able to see the features on the ground such as survey lines really helps and all the new imagery coming out is in color and of course taken in summer or spring when it's pretty.Pretty hides ground features thats why i prefer the black and whites taken in winter.

I use the USA photomaps program and they use the same black and white aerials you had here and their site is still working.If you go here  http://download.cnet.com/USAPhotoMaps/3000-12940_4-10060586.html and download the program you can download all the 95 aerials you want.Perhaps you could figure out where their aerials are coming from and use them for Topofusion? they have topos somewhere on the program also but I have never used them and don't know where their located.I believe these are down though since a friend of mine uses this too and he doesn't have topos now.

I have noticed some gaps myself.I live in the south Jersey pine barrens and there is a one 7.5 minute map gap across the very center of the barrens.Now why would you cover all of south jersey only to leave a one map strip across the state east to west blank?the Indian Mills,Chatsworht,Woodmansie strip is blank.I have also notcied some small gaps in MD,WV and pa,areas i frequent a lot.All these gaps are small.Why?I could understnad large gaps but small spots are hard to explain.

I can download aerilas from here for free you just have to pay to print them.I can download all these you need if you can use them to replace the black and whites.They don't seem to get as good resolution as terraserver was providing though.

will we ever have the black and white aerials back or are they lost forever?These are what I use the most in survey work,I will also miss the topos too.Will the new ones be USGS quality?My Topo is nice but the maps are not USGS par.If there is anything i can do to help give me directions and I will.I just found out about this and it's too late to do much batch loading now considering i have to work tomorrow and cannot stay up all night.let me know what i can do to help seriously if you need downloading done and DVD's sent to you I will be glad to help only where can i download black and whites and topos once terraserver goes down?Google earth has black n whites in their historical imagery but they don't have topos.
