TopoFusion Pro / Re: Pro v5.71

« Last post by ScottMorris on January 19, 2021, 02:06:35 PM »

Hi,

Sorry about the confusion -- there's a new feature that shows the track names at the start of tracks in order to help identify them.  It defaults to on but probably shouldn't for existing users.  Look for the toggle on the toolbar or in the toggles menu to shut it off.

Thanks

TopoFusion Pro / Re: No GPS Live Tracking with Windows 10

Hi,

Apologies for missing this post somehow.

There must be something slightly different in the NMEA string being produced by that GPS.

If you want to try to debug it send me an email at smorris@topofusion.com and we'll take a look.

Thanks.

TopoFusion Basic / Printing maps

« Last post by Jim Chance on January 19, 2021, 12:39:26 PM »

Hi,

Can someone tell me how to print a big map of a big area? I am a bit of a Luddite so please forgive if it is obvious.

I am trying to print a map using some USFS maps I brought in for background with some track lines laid on top. File/Order Printed Maps seems to print a different map with no track lines. File/print gives me what appears to be a screen dump with inadequate resolution when I blow it up.

What I would like to do is pick an area on the screen to print, but print it at a higher resolution so I can blow it up 3 or 4 times as large and have a nice image.

Feature Requests / Re: Waypoint icons

Colors of different sized dots would be nice, yep.

Have you changed the size of *all* waypoints icons under Options->Preferences->Fonts->Waypoint icon size?  With the smallest size the city small is quite a small dot.

I'll think about some smaller dots or perhaps colors.  That may not be too hard to add.

Thanks

Either custom or a bigger library- I guess it depends on how big the library is.
I don't really print out maps, most of what I use is in digital form. But what I am running into is a lack of being able to distinguish markers from various groups. It would be really useful to change the colors, so that the simple dots (City, (Large)), could be used to easily pick out one type of marker from another. Much of my problem lies in the fact that most of the markers are rather large and do not pinpoint the location as well as I would like. More markers with something like a crosshair would be useful, along with the ability to change colors and maybe sizes of each. Right now I do use the 3 sizes of the city markers, but it would be more distinguishable if they could be made different colors as well.

Thanks!

Hi,

Thanks for the post -- it's not out of the question but not a priority either.

Which would be more helpful, custom or a bigger library?  I guess custom is the most versatile.

Are you looking to export or print maps with the icons on them?  Just curious what the end product would be.

Thanks

Feature Requests / Waypoint icons

Not an entirely new request, just wondering if there are any plans to incorporate either custom waypoint icon capabilities, or a larger library of available icons.

Feature Requests / Re: Windows 10 Internals GPS receiver

« Last post by ScottMorris on August 01, 2020, 03:15:12 PM »

If the internal GPS supports emulating a serial (COM) port and shooting out NMEA format, it will work in NMEA mode with TF.  Some people do that.

If there's a newer windows API for accessing the internal GPS, though, we should add support for it, for sure.  Thanks for the nudge.

Feature Requests / Windows 10 Internals GPS receiver

« Last post by Edward Hansen on August 01, 2020, 01:30:26 PM »

TF is a great piece of software. Being able to connect a GPS receiver to it is great but the present method is very difficult and many wires. Seems always to fail when I go jeeping so I use a different software that uses the internal GPS of my computer.  Just wondering if you added the capability to use the internal GPS it would be one of the best..
