2D & 3D Labels

[Metzen]

Great product guys (and gals?)!

When using TopoFusion in 3D mode with DEM data, and selecting "Show 3D Waypoints" under 3D Preferences, it would be helpful if the 2D labels were turned off.

If you have a lot of 2D waypoint labels in 3D mode that are close together, you end up not being able to see any of your map image.  Turning off the background for labels under color preferences helps, but it would be quite helpful to turn them off altogether.

Thanks!

You can turn the 2D waypoints off by using the regular 2D toggle.  I'm not sure that defaulting to turning the 2D waypoints off when 3D waypoints are on is going to make sense to everyone.  I think it might be better to just allow the user to configure it however they want using the 2D toggle and the 3D checkbox.  

Is this ok?  Or, how do you see it working?  Should it not be possible to have 3D and 2D waypoints on while in 3d mode?

He he he, I could have sworn I looked *everywhere* for a way to turn those off.  It turns out I looked *almost* everywhre...

Yes, this functionality is fine.  It only takes a second to refresh the image and remove the labels, and that is just dandy.

Now that I understand this a little better, perhaps another suggestion:

Maybe move the 3D button to the right on the toolbar and add buttons to turn on and off tracks and waypoints in 3D mode, and maybe even a small slider or dropdown to adjust the elevation exageration.

The interface is already clean and usable, that would just make it a little more so.

Thanks again for a killer product.  I went up by Strawberry Resevoir in Utah scouting elk over the weekend and carried my GPS with me, and it was so cool to show my Dad and brother in 3D mode right where I'd been, where I saw the elk (I made waypoints for anything of interest).   They were blown away.

Thanks,
