v3.90 – Shaded Relief, Land Ownership and Color fixes
Monday, September 21st, 2009Shaded Relief
We are excited to release the next version of TopoFusion Pro, v3.90. This version features shaded relief mapping, available for the entire world, and for all map types. Shaded relief really brings maps alive and helps with visual understanding of the terrain. Plus it just looks cool!! The elevation data is downloaded automatically as you view maps, just like the map tiles are. Once you download it, you’ll always have it, with or without an internet connection.
Look for the Shaded Relief toggle on the toolbar. Here’s what it looks like:
(Also find it in the “Map” menu under Shaded Relief).
Land Ownership
Also new is the Land Ownership layer, which shows which agency (e.g. Forest Service, BLM, etc) owns a particular piece of land. This is very useful for planning exploratory hikes, or perhaps a bikepacking trip. The legend for the colors in the map is here:

Color Aerial Download Fix
Finally, some server changes have caused a majority of the maps in TopoFusion’s Color Aerial tileset to fail to download, giving a “map missing” error. If you are seeing these errors for your area, download the latest version and you should be good to go!
Head over to the Download Page to try TopoFusion out, free of charge.
Registered users refer to your registration email for the download link, or go here to request your code and the download URL.
