New Feature Suggestions

I recently purchased a Garmin Edge.  It would be nice if Topofusion could create a "course" from a track and upload it to the unit.  Currently I can only upload waypoints from Topofusion.  I have found a tool that will convert a gpx file into a course, which I can then upload with Garmin Training Center, but if this could be done in topofusion it would be much easier.  

Also, I wish there was a way to merge/combine tracks from the main mapping page.  Just like how you can merge tracks together when you download from the gps.  Maybe this is already possible but I haven't figured out how?  Right now I'm using a text editor, which is a pain.

It would have been even better if Garmin had made courses compatible with the concept of 'saved tracks.'  There's really nothing new going on in a course.

Happily, Garmin finally released the specs on the new units, so course support is a possibility.  I'll add it to the 'todo' list.  Thanks.
Glad to know there's a workaround in the interim.

You can definitely merge tracks from the main window -- the profile tool doubles as a merge tool.  Just hold down shift between clicks, and when you are done (you can reverse direction, too), right click and choose "save as..."

Yes, I totally agree that not being able to upload a normal track to the Edge is totally lame.   They could have at least made it possible in the Training Center software to convert a gpx file to a course, but no.  You can't even export gpx!   I am happy with the Edge, but it could be much improved, with only firmware updates.

Thanks for the tip about merging tracks...  I figured there must be a way.
