UTM values getting switched when setting waypoint
« 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!

Hi Dave,

Thanks for the post.  Hello Columbia indeed!

This issue was fixed in v5.71 -- update and let me know if you notice anything else amiss!
