v3.41 is ready for beta testing. Find it in the usual place:
http://topofusion.com/beta.phpThe first big change is a new map server! Australian topo maps!
Sample image from the Melbourne area:
Sample at a smaller scale:
We're very excited to offer automatically downloaded Topo maps for all of Australia!
Note that the Canadian Topo tileset is now the CAN / AUS tileset. Since Canada and Australia don't overlap they share a tileset. In the northern hemisphere TF will download from the CAN server, and in the southern it's the AUS server.
-----------------------------------------
The other big change is
per line styling. Now individual tracks within a single GPX (or kml) file can have different colors, widths, opacities and patterns (dashed, dotted, etc).
This required moving to GPX 1.1 (previously TF was using 1.0), and it was about time to join the newer standard. So we spent some extra time testing things since the "bread and butter" GPX saving routines had some changes.
Really there's nothing to major between 1.0 and 1.1. But we can now use the GPX_Styles extension to get colors, widths, etc.
Screen shot:
That shows a little bit of what can be done. The good thing is that this is all stored in a standard way that can be read by several other GPX programs.
To change a track's style you need to right click on it and choose "Track Properties." You'll get this dialog:
Pretty self explanatory. The old way of changing colors
per file still works and is in the File Properties dialog, but be careful since it change every track in your file to that color.
We'll have more features related to this in future versions. For example, settings for what you want your default track to look like.
