Base map not visible after loading Shape File

[fcmarkp]

After loading a shape file I exported from ESRI ArcMap that provides some USFS trail information that is more accurate than information on the older topo maps online, the trail lines display on the map but the underlying topo is not visible.  I am testing the software before purchase so the "Demo" logo shows on the map but can't figure out the overlay of the loaded layer file on top of the base topo map.  I have tried toggling between the various maps and still can't figure it out.  I have attached the .shp file and a screen shot.

Thanks

Hi,

Most likely the shapefile didn't load up in the correct place.  There's a problem in the current release of TF where it doesn't know what UTM zone the data is in (the shapefile format doesn't store it, for some strange reason).  The software assumes the data is in the zone you are in...

So, the temporary solution is to load up some GPX data or otherwise get TF centered in more or less the area you're in, then reload or load the file.  See if that fixes the issue.

Sorry, shapefile is a very frustrating format, and we are still working on the loading part of it.
