Feature Requests / Re: Waypoints on elevation profile

Yup, waypoints on a profile would be great.
...
Consistent scaling- Provide for profile scaling to be fixed rather than arbitrary so that, for example, exported profiles can be more readily compared.

Both waypoints on elevation profiles and being able to standardize elevation profiles would be really nice. After 3 yrs of mapping and signing our 33mi of local trails, we're trying to output some products to make it easy for folks to see the elevation profile of the various trails / loops. They're small rolling hills, but relatively steep. The area looks flat on topos, but is anything but.

TopoFusion Pro / Projection of Color, Landsat, and MyTopo in Alaska

« on: August 29, 2010, 03:07:47 AM »

When I look at the regular topos and aerial imagery (bw), they both appear to be vertical projections.

However, the color, landsat, and mytopo all appear skewed like an oblique view.

Is there something I'm doing wrong? or are there issues in Alaska? (frequently are)

Thanks.

Feature Requests / Waypoints on elevation profile

On some of your event elevation profiles (White Mountains), I noticed you had waypoints (aid stations) marked (although horizontally rather than vertically)? Did you do that manually or is it a feature now? I haven't been able to find it in version 4 (or any versions since I asked in 2007 and 2009). But I'd sure like it. (I've been using perfils.exe http://tinyurl.com/28zkj4f )

I'm working on some event profiles, plus some maps giving people an idea how hilly the various hiking routes might be and marking cabins, major intersections, etc would be nice.

Several of KenF's suggestions would also be nice for what I'm working on - more control over the size of stripes for profiles (4 stripes is coarse) as well as standardizing the profiles for several routes in the same trail system (or even different systems).

Thanks.
