Why no routes ???
« on: January 30, 2005, 10:19:49 AM »
Why does TF not have the option of downloading stored routes from my GPS? I have a Magellan Gold if it matters. Also is it possible to change the line weight of tracks? I like the color options but line weight control would be a great addition.
Thanks

Sorry, no options for downloading routes for either garmin or magellan.  I've never found a use for it personally, but we can consider adding the functionality.  I make my routes on the computer and then upload.  I find linking waypoints on units themselves too cumbersome.

As for line width -- I agree completely.  It needs to be in there, as selectable for each track, or each file as a whole.  I often hack the source code to do line width for various mapping projects, figures, etc.  An option would be nice.
