TopoFusion Pro / Garmin KMZ Support

« on: October 29, 2009, 06:02:11 AM »

I've been playing around with the Export View for the Garmin KMZ option - but having searched the forums and manual, I still don't understand what 'current view' versus 'maximum detail' does - as when I checked them, and exported both options, they created the same image file in terms of size, etc.

I was hoping that the max detail would extract multiple tiles at the 1024x1024 size - essentially allowing me to make the large maps on the handheld instead of having to manually create the individual tiles.  However, I see from the beta forum that that is something that was discussed for another coding session.

Do you forsee an option of exporting just the user map in KMZ format, and not the entire tile?  When creating the KMZ files in Google Earth with an overlay, you save the file, and it contains only the image info - not the underlying map.  For things like scanned state park maps, etc., it seems to me cleaner to allow just the user image to be exported.

The georeferencing in TF (once you 'get it') is far simpler than GE.  Just getting my hands around TF, so I'm only on demo right now, but looking forward to testing out the Garmin export beta. 

All-in-all, TF looks pretty sweet, and the KMZ export will be the icing on the cake - why hadn't I heard of TF before??
