Feature Requests / Altitude graphic within Multi-track playback

« on: August 08, 2015, 07:37:04 AM »

I have worked out a way to animate TopFusion maps into videos.
First, load your GPX file into Topofusion, and set it to Multi-track playback.
Then, use IrfanView (freeware) as a screengrabber, set to every ten seconds or so. You can adjust the speed of your movements in Topofusion.
Then, with the resulting set of images, assemble them into a video as you would with a timelapse, I use Windows Movie Maker 6.1 but there are plenty of other programs that can do it as well.
Here is an example https://youtu.be/I0iqx2pniU4
Now, what would be really cool for all those steep ascents and descents, would be a synchronised digital altitude readout, via a small box on the side, or even a live graph, large enough to be read at a glance. The Dashware program has something like that but I found it difficult to set up and would be more convenient if this could be done entirely within TopoFusion Pro itself.

Feature Requests / Multiplexing?

I own three GPS receivers: a handy Holux GPSport 245, a Vista HCx, and a GPSMap 76Cx. I love all three of them, they each have their own quirks and advantages. I like setting them to different log intervals - one to time, another to distance, and one of the Garmins to 'auto' - and, using them on a simultaneous trip, seeing the results, which are usually all over the place.  Of course some of these variations are due to the inherent receiver design characteristics, others due to the terrain and external conditions on the day. I have played around with TopoFusion's 'make network' feature to make a better 'average' track, but if your receivers backtrack over the same ground, you can't tell which fork was taken. I was wondering if there is a way of 'averaging' multiple logs taken simultaneously, or if TopoFusion might make it possible in a future update.
