TopoFusion Pro / problem saving gps
« on: February 19, 2011, 02:00:07 AM »
Normally I (happily) run TopoFusion in XP. But with the demise of my work laptop a few days ago, I'm having to deal more with the Vista laptop at home. Unfortunately, TF has a bad habit of freezing up on it:
1) If I try to create a new gpx route using the pencil tool, it gets stuck when I try to save the New File. Surprisingly, the gpx file is actually there when I start the program back up.
2) The same behavior occurs if I try to do "Save all files". Actually, it does this any time that I try to save a gpx file, even on exiting the program. Unlike in case (1) though, any changes are lost when I restart.
This is really frustrating and debilitating. I suspect most of the blame must be on how Vista is configured on the laptop...
Incidentally, I don't see any documentation of what "Save all files" actually does. Obviously, it saves the gpx files; but does it also save calibration info for User Maps? There needs to be some way to manually save the calibrations, since all my calibration work has been lost several times when the program crashed.
