TopoFusion Pro / Re: Track upload freezing Edge 705

« on: October 04, 2013, 07:35:22 AM »

On my 705 w/ user generated maps on the microSD. I'm only having luck directly copying the *.gpx to the SD garmin/GPX folder. 
 The send to gps function seems to give me an *.TCX file in Garmin memorys (garmin/GPX folder) which the 705 then won't read???

Thanks Scott I got it. Looks like I missed the 'edit points (select box)' from the edit bar. That & 'save as' got me down to only 1/2 a days work.
 We'll soon have all the White Mtns trails & a plug for TopoFusion on the TRACKS web page.  https://sites.google.com/site/tracksgpxdownload/

 I there a way to edit down or extract a portion of a track. In the past I just deleted all the track points I didn't need, but now I have a shape file with 2000mi + of tracks & I need about 20 individual trails extracted to GPXs

 That was it Scott, Thanks. Wild that I don't even have Color in my combo (Mytopo/LandOwner).
Good luck in the 300 this weekend, I'm just dipping in my toe doing the MonsterCross Saturday. Maybe next year 300/600mi stuff.

TopoFusion Pro / color aerial Very Very Black

 I can't tell if I'm getting anything in color aerial because it's so dark almost no detail comes through. Pro 4.10 in XP & Vista.

I just upgraded to 4.0 & I can't get any tile sets to DL. Vista/XP/linux multiboot Vista is running the 4.0, but 3.97 on XP won't DownLoad either. Firewall is set to unblock for both

 I was curious about the calibration info myself, is there a way to use this now? Almost anything would be easier than the manual method?
 A good incentive for the cheapskates to try this is, it gets rid of your Demo tiles in the free version. I know be cause that what I'm running on my XP netbook which doesn't download tiles set well enough for me to justify using one of my installs on it.

User Projects / Current Forest Service Topo's

 I've been loading these in 'windows' - 'user maps'  & they are much better than the USGS Quads

 http://svinetfc4.fs.fed.us/rastergateway/regions/regions.html

 The maps are in .tar.gz archives which are simple in linux, but 7zip is what worked for me in windows.
 the 'nocollar' maps come in .tif's which won't load in TopoFusion so I opened the .tif in MSpaint & 'save to' changing to .png in the extension drop box (.bmp would work too, .jpg wouldn't).
 Now you get to calibrate your map (I suggest you read the online manual here) this is going to be a little work, but you can keep trying until you are happy with the position. For me working with the 4m topo's was easiest. Pick a red grid corner close to a mountain or lake & select that point on both maps. you can do 3 separate points but 2 towards the corners works best (use the arrow keys to move you 4m topo to your point if it's off the page)
