directions for running trail simulations

[derricknehrenberg]

I am running TF 3.95 using windows XP on a mac.

I am having trouble following the directions found here

http://topofusion.com/siminfo.php

for running my own trail simulations.

I made it through these steps:

To run the trail simulator on your own data, follow these steps:
- Download & install TopoFusion.
- Load all of your GPS tracks so that they appear in the fileview in the main TopoFusion window.

The rest of the directions to not correspond to my menu options. 

Instead of - Select the menu option Network->Make Network,  I could only select  Analysis -> Make Network.  Then I selected the parameters, then clicked "Make Network" (not "OK") to make the network. 

The cyan GPS network appeared and I removed all my tracks.  But then I could not find any menu options to start the Trail Simulator. 

Basically, I can not find any menu option for Network.  Am I blind?

I can email a screenshot of my topofusion menu options if that will help...

Hey Derrick--

Trail simulations were actually pulled from the public version of TF a while back.  Guess I need to update that page -- thanks for pointing it out.

I can re-enable it for you (esp. in a beta), if you want to check it out.  There is some cool stuff you can do with it, but I haven't run the code myself for a while.

I would like to check it out.  I'm sure it would be very useful. 

BTW, I just read your Digital Trail Libraries paper...what a great idea!

I had a similar idea last week...you guys had it in 2004! 

We should talk when you get a chance...
