Great, glad you're back up and running.

You probably wouldn't notice the difference in the .ini file unless you had a program do a "diff" on them.  It's probably something stupid like a string in quotes vs. no quotes.  We make the same function call, but it can give different results depending on windows language settings, even though it really has nothing to do      with it.  Thanks for the ini file, I'll see if I can come up with a workaround.

Funny, I was riding around at Ute Valley yesterday too.  Though I live in Manitou Springs, so I don't get out to Ute much.

Today's ride was:



That's Pikes in the middle.  '<img'>  Definitely an epic.

Yep, the color aerials are something else.  You can check the year on any Terraserver map by going to that spot on www.teraserver-usa.com.  It seems like the color aerials are 2002 or later.

Cheers.

Yep, there's the "Correct Map Offset" feature found in the "Window" menu.  

Are you in Colorado Springs?  There a preset to fix the systematic terraserver error in all of the color aerials.  If you're somewhere else, I'd love to hear what preset works (and your location) so we can add it to the program.

Thanks.

Did you have a reason why TF is downloading tiles already downloaded? I was testing this out and it was going through the lengthy proceedure of downloading them again, or atleast taking the length as if it was. Is there some way to make them bypass the tiles downloaded already and go straight for ANY tiles NOT downloaded already? It would be faster when trying to add to existing map sections since as you know Terrasever can hang on long downloads. I get about only 560k download speeds. Bypassing the existing Tiles in the download box will save me hours, software should know already not even to count the tiles that are downloaded.

TF won't re-download any tiles.  There was a problem introduced in 3.0 that caused the totals to not be computed given the tiles already download, but this was fixed in a later revision:

3.02 - [2/21/07 - 2/23/07]

Turned DXT1 compression on user maps
Speedup - user maps loading using IJL instead of D3DX
Fixed batch download totals not updating
Fixed bug causing fuzzy networks and stray lat/lon points
Fixed bug causing hang with downloading disabled
Fixed runtime 13 error with logbook and international settings
Added ability to cancel a calibration point
Added airplane icon

But even when the totals were not correct, it still wasn't re-downloading any tiles that already existed.

Krein, any progress on a DXT1 converter? For what it's worth, on my computer if I enable DXT1 compression the old maps, of which I have plenty   '<img'>  are just slow enough to load to be annoying.

Yep, definitely slower.

Haven't made any progress on the converter.  Started a project for it and got some of the necessary libraries, but it's not a trivial program to write, unfortunately.

« on: July 06, 2007, 03:16:39 PM »
Glad you got it sorted out and found a good GPS.  Thanks for sharing your experience with it.

For other TF users, this simple USB GPS can be attached to a laptop and then used with the "Live Tracking" (see GPS menu) feature.  This will show your current position on the moving map, and also gives the option of recording a tracklog.

Most of these USB GPS units will emulate serial (com port) NMEA protocol.  So you should choose NMEA gps type, and then the appropriate com port, and likely 4800 baud.

Hi,

Sorry about the post not showing up.  This forum (and this forum only) is moderated by hand, due to spambots constantly posting.  This one fell through the cracks.

Quote
I was thinking about adding to my map file through Nasa's server but you added that new format to the new version, can I download and add to my dat files or am I going to have to redownload everything to add more content?


No need to redownload.  If the "Use DXT1" checkbox is not checked, TF will continue to operate as before -- downloading and saving in .jpeg (and .gif) format.

If you enable DXT1 compression, new tiles will be downloaded and saved as DXT1, but your old maps will still be there (again, no need to redownload).  Your old maps will just be slower to load from the HD than newly downloaded maps.

Quote
Also this new format has nothing to do with the DEMS right? So those should work in TF with or without the new format for image maps?


Correct.  No change in local DEMs or 3D download.

Quote
Another question is how much space is saved with the new format? Lets say I Have 10GB of data what would the new download format be? 5gb?


No, the size of map files is about the same, with the newer format being slightly LARGER than the old.


Quote
I wished you could take this Cache files at import them into Topofusion. lol They got a great compression rate.


Keep in mind that the google cache file is not permanent.  Meaning, just because you download it once, doesn't mean it will always be there.  That's probably why your cache file is small.

With TopoFusion, once you download, you'll always have it.

Thanks for the questions, Grant.  Hopefully it'll help clarifiy some stuff for other folks, too.

Great, thanks for the updated and patience with it.

For that particular error message, during the splash screen, just moving the .ini file is enough.  Doing a fresh install is unlikely to have any effect.

Let us know how it goes, and then it would be great for you to incremental go along in versions to pinpoint the bug.  My guess is there is something wrong reading a setting from the .ini file.

Thanks.

That sounds about right considering they are just waypoints at key places.  It should be much less distance and elevation gain.

I'm still thinking about the CT myself.  It's either going to happen as a tour or race this year.  Just not sure which yet.

Looking forward to it in any case.

Well, I had a look at this today and couldn't duplicate the problem.  It doesn't make much sense.

I installed the east asian files, switched to Korean mode, then did a clean install of 3.0.  I then upgraded to 3.12 (both times demo versions) and it loaded with no problems, still in Korean mode.

Windows is kind of dumb about the way it handles changes between language settings, sometimes behaving unpredictably.  So it is likely something we can fix, but I don't know how to approach it.

One thing to try is deleting (or temporarily moving to another directory) your TopoFusion.ini file.  There may be a setting there that is not reading correctly.  It'll reset your TopoFusion to default values.

Let me know if that helps or not, or if you have any guidance on how to get my computer set up to match yours.  Maybe I'm not doing something right.

Thanks.

Hey Chris,

I don't know what that text format is.  It's close to what TF reads, but evidently not close enough.

I used the .gdb files, opened them in Mapsource, then saved as GPX.  If you don't have Mapsource, just let me know and I can email you the GPX files I have.

Have the GLR memories faded enough that you're on-board for the CTR?

Wow, thanks for reporting the problem.  And special thanks for letting us know you are using the Korean setting.  I will be willing to bet we introduced a bug that only shows itself with non-english setting.

We'll check it out and let you know what we find.  Sorry about the bug.

I tried changing to Danish, and a few other settings, and it worked OK.  But I don't have a setting for Korean.  Must be a separate download?  I'll see what I can find.

1.  Unfortunately, it seems the answer is no.  The data is more highly protected in terms of licensing, etc.

2.  The best way is to use waypoints.  If you have some coordinates of known landmarks, you can enter a new waypoint.  Or, you can even load up a track or two and "line up" the map with the track, in TopoFusion.  It's easier when you have a high quality terraserver map, but you should be able to do it OK.

Sorry about the confusion with the map availability.

Yep, if you can get it into GPX format or one of the other import formats supported by TopoFusion:

    * GPS eXchange Format (.GPX)
    * ESRI Shapefile (.SHP) [Pro version only]
    * Google Earth (.KML)
    * Magellan eXplorist Track files (.LOG)

If it outputs NMEA realtime sentences, you can also use TopoFusion to display your position on topo/aerial/etc maps.

Sorry about the confusion.  The default tracks directory starts out as simply c:\program files\topofusion.  Unless you've changed it, you should put the .bmp files there.

Thanks much for the .bmp files that can be changed. I'm gonna see if I can turn the runner sprite into a tired old backpacker.  '<img'>


Cool.

The 'delete track' option on the right click menu will be handy. I'm assuming that this does not delete the .gpx file and send it to the recycle bin, but only deletes the track portion of the file. Right?


Correct.  It'll be most useful for GPX files with multiple tracks.  I got sick of going to the track properties dialog and shift clicking all the points in a given track.

Quote

And to confirm, the only way to access the delete track right click option is to first right click on the the file at the bottom of the window and choose 'center map on file'. This highlights the track, which then will respond to the right click. Or is there another way?


No, there's no need for your first step.  When in the pan (hand) mouse mode you can simply right click on any track and get the same context menu (with profile, edit track properties, spline/simplify, delete, etc options).

I'm finally going to cover this somewhat hidden menu in the user manual.  It's been getting some updates lately.

Thanks for the positive feedback and the good questions.

To change the symbols or sprites in TopoFusion, first download the appropriate file:

http://www.topofusion.com/images/symbols.bmp



http://www.topofusion.com/images/sprites.bmp



If you place either of these files in your default tracks directory, TF will load them instead of the default files.  Of course everything maps to a particular portion of the files, so you need to be careful what you change, and need to stay within the current size.

Any bugs or issues, please let us know.

Hi,

Yep, poor timing with the downtime.  Terraserver, however, is still up and running just fine.  So you should be able to get topo and aerial tiles.

Try this: open up TF, and switch to one of the Topo tilesets.  You may still get an error message about the server being down.  But that's because it was trying to download landsat tiles.

Now close TF and open it back up.  As long as you stay in a topo or aerial tileset, you shouldn't get any messages about the server being down.

Hoping to get an update about the server's status soon.

As of a few hours ago, the OnEarth server is down.  That might be causing some troubles, but not a D3D device reset error.

Is this your first install of TopoFusion, or have you been using it for a while?

You might try deleting your TopoFusion.ini file.  That will reset your settings to default.  

Otherwise, it sounds like a video driver problem.  Try updating your video card's drivers, or post your TopoFusion.log file here -- it should give us some clues as to what's going on.

Are you sure that you have map tiles enabled?

There is a bug in 3.07 that makes it so you can't select anything if you have the map tile (little checkerboard toggle on the toolbar) off.

I can select your file just fine.

Oh, wait, you're not using the select points tool (the regular mouse arrow) to try and select the track, are you?  There is no right click menu for that tool.  You need to be in the pan (hand) mode to select a track.

It's funny this came up right now.  I'm just in the process of adding a "simplify/spline" menu option that simply asks you to click on the track you want to work on.  Should make the UI a little more friendly.

Hi,

That's strange.  The spline tool is active in the demo version -- everything is, in fact.  Very strange that you can't get the right click context menu to come up.

Are you viewing in Landsat or topo/aerial mode?  Whatever your answer, try switching to the other and see if you can get the menu to come up.

There have been a few bugs related to this, so there could be another one lurking.  Try restarting TopoFusion to force it to re-load the .GPX file.

Otherwise, if you're still having trouble, please email the file to support@topofusion.com and we'll gladly take a look.  If there's a bug, we'll have it fixed ASAP.

Yeah, my biggest question was whether the Lat/Lon data could be added "in place", without rewriting other data, and w/o re-encoding the jpeg.

On cursory glance, it seems that the GPS headers are additional, meaning that space is not already allocated in a standard EXIF header.  It still might only be a matter of appending the data on at the end, but it doesn't look like it's going to be *that* easy.  We have some code now that reads the EXIF headers, but nothing that deals with the additonal GPS stuff.

Larry,
I think you can redownload the faulty region using the Load Maps Tool on the toolbar. Just select the affected area and it should download all the tilesets you have checked in preferences.

The load maps tool is what he wants, but drawing a box over the area won't force a reload--it will only download maps that haven't been downloaded yet.

A single click on a map tile will force it to reload from the server, however.

Larry, that's strange that you got some permanent fuzzy tiles.  I got plenty of fuzzies panning around over the weekend, and also checking for the server coming back up.  But I haven't seen any fuzzy tiles now.

You must have gotten a slightly different white fuzzy tile that didn't match the one in TopoFusion (that it's checked against).

If they are too many of them, you may want to go to a backup, I guess.

Well, it's not obvious that you'd have to place the waypoints first.  I'll add a sentence about that to the error message that pops up.

Yep, you can move and delete the photos now, which is a big improvement.

Larry,

Did you use the "place pictures as waypoints" button first?  It is a little different than in the past.  I think it would automatically do photofusion when you hit the "generate html" button before.

Then you can either have the new style image map (thumbnails), (if the photo toggle is on), otherwise, if just the camera icons are showing, you'll get the old style, where the camera icons are the 'active' parts of the image map.

I'm going to get the docs updated for photofusion sometime this week.  They haven't been updated for the new Pro photofusion stuff.

During an outage like this, the PTBs - powers that be - could post a head's up on the home page so bunches of us don't spend a lot of time and frustration thinking we're doing something wrong.

Thank you.

Fair point.  I've added a note to the top of the main page.

Sorry about the frustration.

Boy, I hope this does not mean some thing serious.... it is a long time...   '<img'>

Yeah, but the website is still up, and Terraserver is serving tiles -- they are just blank.  I'm sure it's just a hardware issue they are dealing with.  Might be until tomorrow (end of weekend) before it's back up, though.

I still haven't received a response from them.  Will update as soon as I know something.

Beta Testing / problem with 3D view with beta 3.07

Yep, still ongoing.

Bummer.  

Thanks for the update on the 3D problem.

Still serving fuzzle tiles as of this morning.

Larry - Good question.  The white fuzzy tiles are not stored locally.  A list is kept in memory so that they are not repeatedly downloaded within that session.  But once you restart TopoFusion that list is gone, and the program will try to download those tiles again.

Hopefully Terraserver will be back to full functionality soon.

Beta Testing / problem with 3D view with beta 3.07

I moved this to the beta forum.

That's strange.  What version were you using before 3.07?  Not *much* has changed in the 3D code since 3.0.

Terraserver is having problems right now, but you'd get white maps, not black.  If you already have the topos downloaded it should be working.

Maybe post/email your logfile and we can see if there are any clues there.

Looks like Terraserver is having some trouble this evening.  It was working earlier today.

It's responding, but often (always?) with white "fuzzy" tiles.  So if you are getting white tiles with "No map available for this location and tileset" written on them, it's not because there aren't maps.  There's just something wrong with the server.

We'll keep monitoring this and updating.
