Feature Requests / Slope tile sets/ Color Codes on Maps

« on: December 06, 2010, 07:22:54 AM »

The biggest item on my wishlist for topofushion is to get a 'slope' tiles color code similar to the elevation tiles color code that get put directly on the map.

With user define slope colors, I could easily see avalanche danger slopes, determine the difficulty of a route, and determine what grade of protection is required. For this to work, the feature would have to allow the user to specifically define the range for which a slope would have a specific color (eg between 25-45 degrees slope is orange) as different sports have different slope considerations. Additionally, as a minimum, I would say the user would need to be able to define 4 seperate slope color ranges, to make the program versatile enought to handle hikers, bikers, climbers, etc. 

I don't know of any software that currently offers this feature. Maybe its too robust of a requirement to ask for. Do you think there's any chance?
