November 19th, 2008TopoFusion displaying new Color Aerials in Colorado
We’re excited about the release of version 3.60 of TopoFusion Pro. It features the new “Color” tileset that combines high resolution color aerial data from a number of servers into one “mega” tileset, covering most of the United States:

One note: the server responsiveness and quality vary from state to state. For some reason Texas and Pennsylvania are not in true color — they are red (?). But otherwise this is some very high quality and a MAJOR improvement for TopoFusion, especially over the black and white DOQQ data from Terraserver which is often old and sometimes fuzzy / washed out.
Also new, WMS servers
Version 3.60 also introduces custom WMS server support. Any WMS server can be served and cached by TopoFusion, as long as it can output in the EPSG:4326 projection (most can). For more info see WMS servers in TopoFusion.

We just released v3.61, a new version that includes better handling of slow and bad server responses.
It seems the increased load on some servers (caused by TF’s release!) changed their behavior enough to cause some problems.
Specifically, some areas would report white noise “unavailable” tiles when the server actually has the tiles (restarting TF would force it to retry those tiles). In v3.61 this shouldn’t be an issue.
Definitely recommend an upgrade if you got 3.60 for the short time is was available.
