TopoFusion Pro / Re: Wonky display when resizing file "properties" window

« Last post by KenF on August 06, 2021, 02:12:27 PM »

I believe the the overflow error can be recreated by making the properties window as wide as possible, moving it left past the edge of the screen, then stretching it wider to the right. Although, admittedly, that particular sequence is not likley to ever be used.

TopoFusion Pro / Re: FIT files revisited - no waypoints

« Last post by KenF on July 31, 2021, 06:06:28 PM »

(To be filed under "stuff I thought I knew, but ignored and forgot")
The situation may not be quite so simple with Garmin devices that use a "locations.fit" file
On my Epix, it appears that the "locations.fit" file is only a mirror of the waypoints/locations that are saved somewhere in the memory of the device.
That file is automatically rewritten/updated  by the device.
But, conversely,  the "saved location" memory is NOT affected by actions on the file, including deleting or replacing it.
As far as I am aware, a "saved location" can only be removed by manually accessing the "locations" list via the device itself.
Fortunately, there is a "delete all" option at the end of the list.

FULL "FIT" file compatibility would still be desirable, including the specifc ability to "download waypoints," which I presently cannot do via TF. It appears that simply reading the "locations\locations.fit" file would accompish this.

TopoFusion Pro / Re: Average multiple gpx tracks. Make Network for the win!!!!!

Awesome, thanks for the post!

Glad you found that something you already had (TF) did exactly what you needed.

Keep up the good work.

TopoFusion Pro / Average multiple gpx tracks. Make Network for the win!!!!!

« Last post by metalartgate on July 14, 2021, 12:10:19 PM »

Scott just wanted to shout out a big thanks. TopoFusion wins again as a favorite tool for editing GPS tracks.

I'm working on documentation of a new trail for Central Oregon Tail Alliance(COTA) that is soon going out to bid. We have several tracks of the proposed route.

Looking at tools to average the multiple tracks was frustrating most solutions involve using the scripting language R or just drawing a line by hand.  Until I saw a reference to http://topofusion.com/network.php

Played around with Make Network tweaked Contraction Strength and done!!

Thanks!

Interesting, thanks for the report!  My laptop only goes to 1920 so I can't test the 2200 width.  Will have to figure out another way.

I don't see any wonkiness when maximizing, but maybe it's not quite wide enough on my machine.

Thanks as always!

TopoFusion Pro / Wonky display when resizing file "properties" window

« Last post by KenF on July 04, 2021, 07:28:26 PM »

Hi Scott-
Some more consistent peculiar behavior.
It looks like two similar but separate issues.
When displayng the "properties" window of a loaded file and then maximizing (or resizing horizontally), some of the contents on the left side disappear or get blocked when the window width becomes larger than about 1350 pixels. This doesn't seem to block the  "file information" box, but something (like the appearance of an unused control) can be seen going on in the left margin space.

Horizontal resizing beyond about 2200 pixels (on my system) results in "Run-time error '6': Overflow"
This always occurs. The symptoms fit an integer overflow issue when expressing the windows width in finer system units (twips?).

Being able to download, edit and/or resave FIT files directly to/from the device (especially without using other software) would be VERY useful. 

Thanks

I'm assuming that my old Garmin Forerunner 310xt handles waypoints ("Locations") in a similar manner. Manually inputting them is a pain. Being able to upload them directly from TF would be really great! And downloading saved Locations too.

Output?
Is there supposed to be a FIT output function? I see 13 format options when doing a file "save as," but FIT is not one of them.
(Input has 14 options, including FIT)
I would LOVE to have FIT output capability. It would avoid some kludgy workarounds that I presently use with the Epix.
Being able to download, edit and/or resave FIT files directly to/from the device (especially without using other software) would be VERY useful. 

See http://topofusion.com/forum/feature-requests/fit-write-support/msg114967/#msg114967

Thanks

Interesting.  I'll admit that the FIT input/output routine is not super robust.  It needs some work.  Very complicated API, unfortunately.

Might be able to fix this issue though. Thanks for reporting it.

TopoFusion Pro / FIT files revisited - no waypoints

« Last post by KenF on June 27, 2021, 03:15:06 PM »

This is a persistent issue that I have mostly ignored on a Garmin Epix that I have used for a few years.
The Epix (a discontinued wrist type device) stores its waypoints (aka "locations") in a "Locations.fit" file in a "Garmin\Locations" folder.
Both of the following result in an empty TF entry,  i.e. no waypoints  (and no error messages).
  (1) Using the TF GPS transfer function - "Download waypoints,"     
  (2) Directly reading/loading "Locations.fit" as a file.

In contrast,  FIT files for tracks (aka  "Activities") can be read/downloaded into TF either way.

This missing waypoint issue seems to be specific to TF.  Other GPS software and/or FIT file conversion utilities I have played with seem to handle the waypoints (or the Locations.fit file) from the Epix as expected.
