« on: January 01, 2019, 04:36:55 PM »

Hello Scott,
Happy New Year to Everyone.
I noticed a couple days ago the USGS Imagery tiles do not download in many places.
Again, I'm in the Patagonia area, AZ.
Thanks

TopoFusion Pro / Color Aerial vs USGS Imagery

« on: November 15, 2017, 02:52:52 PM »

Hello,
The attachment shows a section of today's tile download. (Just NW of Mowry mine )
The current downloads look like the Color Aerial Tiles.
They do not look like the USGS Imagery.
Is the key "U" taking us to the Color Aerial Server?
Thanks,
Roger

Hello,
I'm using Beta V 5.47. The USGS Imagery Tiles are not downloading for me today.
Also, I haven't looked at "Preferences" for a long time.
Today I went to Options>Tile Sets.
I don't see the check boxes or tiles to down load.
See attachment.
I'm I missing something?
Thanks,
Roger

« on: April 28, 2015, 09:10:29 AM »

Hello Scott,
I'm getting black/blank tiles from the USGS aerials (U) but not everywhere, just in one location so far.
Go to 31 47 40 N  /  110 44 55 W. It is the Madera Canyon region in Green Valley AZ.
Move around you you'll see what I mean. I'm not sure but it appears that a horizontal band of tiles are missing.

Unchecking shaded relief under Map Menu shut shaded relief off.

Hello Scott,
Yes, you're right. Downloads seem extra fast today.
I'm glad it was a temporary server issue.
However, take a look right over Mt Hopkins, looking down on Observatory, at high resolution,open aerial.
It's a blank...is that a sensitive/restrictive area?..a little paranoia on my part..
Thanks,
Roger

TopoFusion Pro / Open Aerial "Map Not Available"

« on: January 08, 2013, 04:43:39 PM »

Hello Scott,
Just an FYI.
As you know I live in Southern, AZ.
I noticed today that some open aerial tiles are not down loading when zoomed to a higher resolution.
Several would download then a missing tile or two.
Getting msg "Map not Available". There was a similar problem before.
The areas I noticed today were around Mt Hopkins and Mt Wrightson. In fact the Observatory is completely blank.
Also Area around elephant head, and parts of Gradner Canyon have missing tiles.
Roger
Thanks for considering adding the ability to draw in 3D

Feature Requests / 3 D Views

« on: January 04, 2013, 09:58:46 AM »

It would be nice to be able to draw a track in the 3 D View.
It would make it easier to plan a route between peaks rather than over them.
I know contour lines can be used, but in an aerial view the ability to draw a track would be helpful.

TopoFusion Pro / Re: Color / Open Aerial maps download issue

« on: July 31, 2012, 03:04:01 PM »

Hello,
As of today 7/31/They have not resolved the issue.
They (Lex)  keep asking for coordinates, which I send and they rarely reply.
I keep pointing them to a few miles east of Patagonia, AZ.
When they do reply they say they are looking at the issue.
They know an issue exits at the higher resolution open aerial tiles, at least here in Southern, AZ., but it has not been fixed.
I am having No problem with the colored aerials.

TopoFusion Pro / Re: Open Aerial

« on: May 02, 2012, 12:57:27 PM »

Hello,
Yesterday I threw away the ini file and let TopFusion build a new one. It didn't solve the problem.
I uninstalled v4.41 and installed v4.50 and set up new preferences. That didn't solve the problem.
I can download open aerial tiles to resolution 1:3.26. Past that they stop.
Here is a strange part. At approximately1:3.26 resultion the open aerial tiles cover the area I'm looking at.
If I go to 3D view at this resolution ,there are No open aerial tiles on the 3D view.....

TopoFusion Pro / Re: Open Aerial

« on: May 01, 2012, 02:28:33 PM »

Hello Scott,
This May 1st around 2:30 PM. Just read your reply.
I'm still having trouble with the open aerial tiles. They are not downloading.
As before It appears to be related to zooming in/out.
If I zoom out to display a large ground area the tiles download, as I start zooming in to get a close up view the download will stop.
I'm stll trying to download open aerials for an area about 9 mi SE of Patagonia around these coordinates:
31.31.40 N  110.36.38 W.
I've tried moving away from these coordinates and again the colored aerails and topo's download just fine but the open aerials do not if I zoom in.
I have a good internet connection with fast speeds.
Thx,
Roger

Hello Scott,
Having problems again today downloading open aerial tiles. It appears to be related to zooming in/out.
If I zoom out to a very small area the tiles download, as I start zooming in the download will stop.
The colored aerial and My Topo download new tiles with no problem.
I'm looking at an area about 9 mi SE of Patagonia around these coordinates:

Hello,
I installed Beta 4.30 today.
When  using Open Aerial tileset,  I am getting many tiles with the "unable to display map for this location and tileset. The map may not exist, or you may need to pan the map to this UTM zone.
They are mixed in with tiles that display properly.
No other tileset seems to have this problem.

TopoFusion Pro / Problem with Large Colored Aerials

« on: September 06, 2010, 03:51:49 PM »

Hello,
I am having a problem downloading large Colored Aerial Tiles. The drop down menu shows the largest size as 0.003.This is the size that I am having problems with. It seems to be arbitrary, "hit or miss" in some areas.
The area that is giving me problems is East of Highway 82, between Nogales and Patagonia, AZ and areas in the Patagonia Mts. These are first time downloads on a new computer running Windows 7.( I haven't tried other areas.) All the other Colored Aerial sizes are downloading fine, along with the new My Topo maps. Occasionally in the B&W aerial tiles, one out of many doesn't download.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Roger Marquette

I'm running TopoFusion on two computers both with XP OS and V 3.97. One is custom built desktop that has been running TopoFusion for several years. The other computer is an Acer Aspire One that has been synced with the TopoFusion files on my desk top. We use the Acer in the field. I just checked my Acer and it has the same problem loading colored aerials. Strange. Could there be a problem with the server for the colored aerials?
