Strange File Conversion
«

Here are 2 files. The one without the "a" is the original. The one with the "a" was run thru some software (not by me). Both files will open in MapSource and show the track and all data. TopoFusion will open both files but the one with the "a" has no track or data. That has never happened before. Can you tell me what is wrong with the "a" file that makes TopoFusion show no data?

Strange, it was just a bit of a formatting issue. I think it's TF problem (should be a valid file).
Try this one, it's just a slightly edited version of the "a" file.

Thanks Scott,
Now I might be able to fix the next one if it happens again.

I'll make sure the next version can read it -- assuming it's a valid file, which I believe it is.

That would be great. Your software has always been the "gold standard" for me. It has always opened gpx files that MapSource balked at and then I would do a "save as" back to gpx and that would fix whatever was wrong.
I have a suggestion.
After I stitch a bunch of gpx tracks together I use "save as" to tcx and TF fixes the timestamps using the year 2005. Then I use GPSBabel to move the time to some newer date that I need. Many times the move is more than 2000 days which is the limit for Babel so I have to do the move twice. If you could keep the base date at 4-5 years behind the current year then it would always be within that 2000 day window.
I have solved the 10 second interval from TF by filtering my trackpoints at 80-90 feet apart. That way I get the approx speed of 6mph that I want.
I recommend TF a lot. I hope it brings you some customers in this crappy economy.

FYI - v4.5 (out now) corrects this issue. It should read your "a" file just fine. Let me know if you notice any issues with it. Thanks!
