TopoFusion Pro / Merge Track

« on: December 26, 2010, 03:42:59 PM »

I went on a snowshoe trail today and downloaded the track from my Dakota to TopoFusion. The first .5 miles of the trail is the same route, out and back. So part of my track is the same but the segments kind of zig zag on top of each other. I tried to merge this part of the track using the merge tool. I identified the two segments and the yellow highlighted track was displayed. I right-clicked and did a "Save As" hoping to save the merged track. In the new file I still have the same track that zig zags on top of itself. I'm guessing that this happened because it is actually a single track and the merge tool merges two separate tracks? How do I combine the overlapping zig zag segments into a single merged track?

Joe,

Scott describes the cache files in this post.

http://www.topofusion.com/forum/index.php?topic=3752.msg6126#msg6126

Looks like the files are in the "Directory for Map Data" location that is defined in "Options > Preferences > General".

TopoFusion Pro / Re: img files

Thanks for the info Scott. I've successfully calibrated/georeferenced a local snowshoe trail map to the Topofusion Color Aerial map. I then used the "Draw Track" tool in Topofusion to trace a few tracks of the snowshoe trails.

So it sounds like I use MapSource to load the base map to the Dakota and use Topofusion to load the snowshoe trail tracks that I created. I'm sure this will become more clear when my Dakota unit arrives and I can experiment a bit.

TopoFusion Pro / img files

« on: December 03, 2010, 09:45:02 PM »

I just purchased Topofusion and I have a Dakota 10 on order. While looking for free maps for the Dakota I stumbled across Oregon state topo maps at GPSFileDepot and the Northwest Trails map at Switchback.com. Both of these maps contain img files. How do I use img files in Topofusion?
