Feature Request - Combo options.

[brian.r.hamilton]

It would be really cool if Topofusion allowed the user to select which maps to "Combo" along with the transparency of each map (or layer).  This would be an extremely useful feature if/when TF supports user maps (JPG file that can be calibrated by entering 3 coordinates for example).

These features would be VERY useful for those of us using TopoFusion to try to find or follow new (or just new to us) trails!  Once a user map is calibrated, the trail (for example) could be drawn using the draw tool & uploaded to GPS for navigation.  I've done this to explore some unfamiliar mountain bike trails using TopoGrafix Expert GPS.  That software doesn't support Combo maps like TopoFusion does & it also runs much more slowly on my PC.

These are pretty cool features if you think about the potential.  One could combine real estate plot/plat maps with the topo maps, for example.  It would be possible to combine any map that can be JPG'd with TopoFusion & get data from that map to our GPS!

Yep, combo'ing user maps (and some of the other map types already supported) would be very cool.

We are planning to move to a newer directX version which should allow us to do a lot more cool things that graphics cards are already good at doing quickly.  Blending, streching, rotation and the like...

It's going to change the way a lot of TF works (for the better) and hopefully combo will be both faster and more versatile.

Thanks for the idea.
