TopoFusion Pro / Re: Export portions of simplified tracks for printing maps
« on: April 19, 2010, 08:01:19 AM »
I made some headway on this by exporting the entire, simplified track to a *.csv file and breaking the file into 500 point files in excel. On the translation back to *.gpx however, the tracks appear to be shifted up and are pushed slightly north of the original track?

I used GPSexpert to translate from *.csv to *.gpx and don't know where the shift occured? Any advice on a more accurate way to translate that file? Or, is there any way I can open the *.csv directly in Topofusion?

TopoFusion Pro / Export portions of simplified tracks for printing maps
« on: April 18, 2010, 07:53:00 AM »
I'm making mapsets for the AZT300 that correlate to the simplified and segmented track in that is exporting out to the GPS.

I've prepped the track for loading onto the gps (simplified and segmented) and I would like to center a view on each of those segments, highlight that segment (the entire track would be seen beyond) and export each at the same scale. The result of this operation would be 20 'maps/images' at the same scale. I would also like to have the profile of each track exported and on the map that I'll be printing.

After some trial and error, the only way i've been able to get close to this type of output is to put waypoints at the ends of each segment then manually centering the map with the endpoints in view and exporting to a common high resolution image. Ideally, it seems I might find more consistency if I could save each track segment to its own track but this seems to be a very tedious and potentially inaccurate process. I was also thinking about "exporting" each segment in a track via something like excel, where I can have a tally of track points?

Correlating the profile to each segment is also creating its own problems, as the mileage always starts at zero and goes to the end of the track segment. Is there any way to get it to read as a function of overall track mileage?, or both? segment length and overall track length?
