v5.06 – Post-CDT Revisions

October 20th, 2014



author Scott Morris, thru-rode the CDT, summer 2014

TopoFusion author Scott Morris is back from the trail, after a 4+ month break from the computer. He spent the summer cycling and hiking the Continental Divide National Scenic Trail (CDNST) along with his partner Eszter Horanyi. It’s believed they are the first people to traverse the trail from end to end by mountain bike.

Scott is back on the computer now and a new version of TopoFusion is out, version 5.06. This revision updates a number of server access methods, so if you are getting lots of stuck ‘downloading’ tiles, it’s time to update! It also fixes a number of bugs, including one that has been longstanding and difficult to squash. See below for full revision details.

To read more about “CDTBike” — traversing the CDT by bike, head over to Scott’s CDT 2014 Journal for full journal entries, tons of photos, and of course, some GPX data.

Thanks!

    Any chance of getting the FSTopo layer in a future revision? This seems to offer the best USFS, BLM, and Wilderness boundary data, at least in places. Keep up the good work!

    Hi Brian,

    We did investigate adding that map layer to TF, however access to it is not free. We don’t currently have the resources to pay what the owner (Caltopo) is asking for access.

    We’ll continue to keep our eyes out for other great sources of data — please let us know if you come across any others.

    Thanks!

    Scott
