TopoFusion Pro / No GPS Live Tracking with Windows 10

« Last post by spartan on July 28, 2020, 10:52:41 AM »

I've got the latest (at the time of this post) version of TF, and am running Windows 10 Pro 64b. I've got a GPS on COM1, from Sierra Wireless. VisualGPS shows the receiver is working fine, and a few other GPS testing programs can see the data from COM1.

However, TF cannot.

When starting Live Tracking, I have tried all options (and set each one under options), to no avail. No GPS location is shown on the map, it doesnt re-center, nothing. Everything but NEMA will display an error (which I expect). The NEMA setting allows me to click Start Tracking, but nothing happens. I know it's not a cold boot situation for GPS, but I let it run for over 8 hours - no GPS position was plotted on the map.

Any suggestions?

TopoFusion Pro / UTM values getting switched when setting waypoint

« Last post by davehunt00 on July 19, 2020, 03:33:28 PM »

When saving a waypoint, the UTM easting and northing values are being swapped.

I have TopoFusion Pro set to US Topo
Options / Preferences / Units / Coordinate type = UTM, Datum selection = WGS 84

Zoom to someplace like Delta Utah
Click the waypoint flag icon in the toolbar
Click on Delta
>> the Add Waypoint dialog comes up
   set File to add waypoint to: New File
   set Name to "test point"
   note UTM Coordinates are something close to "0363783.35 4357407.49" and UTM Zone = 12
   click OK
   >> file dialog appears
       set name to "waypt test"
       click Save
In the file list below the map, double click on the new file
**Welcome to Colombia...

Right click on the waypoint / Edit waypoint
** notice the UTM Coordinates are now: 4357407.49 0363783.35

Neat workaround: edit one of the UTM decimals, click OK
Double click the file again
**Back to Utah...

Appears the easting and northing are being reversed on Add Waypoint save

Thanks!

TopoFusion Pro / Re: Virus Detected?

I got a report back already and they say nothing was detected in it.  May take a while before that rolls out in the new virus definition, though.

Yep, I allowed it on my computer and it stopped removing it.

I'm submitting to Microsoft as a false positive for a trojan that doesn't exist.  Hopefully they will whitelist it.  Apparently it's somewhat common for this to happen with the installer package I'm using.

Thanks

Thanks for the quick reply.  I believe there is an "allow" option in the antivirus program.  I just wanted to make sure before I did anything.

Ugh.  There is no virus it's just a false positive.

It happened on my computer too.  I'll look into it as soon as I can.  May need to submit the files to Microsoft as false positive.

Thanks for the post.  If you can force it to install it will run. That's what I did.

TopoFusion Pro / Virus Detected?

« Last post by VaTrailRider on June 18, 2020, 08:21:12 AM »

Hi,

I went to use the Pro software today and it was removed from my computer....I thought that was very strange, but chalked it up to some odd glitch.  So I went to the download page and entered my credentials to re-download the software and when I clicked on the EXE file, I got a message that the download failed because a virus was detected.  I clicked on the message and took a screenshot that I've attached to this post. 

Terrible timing for all this as I am supposed to create some maps for some clients today.
