v5.11 Released – OpenTopoMaps and more topo fixes

v5.11 new 2015 splash screen

We’ve released version 5.11 of our software — both the Pro and Basic versions. This mostly improves on a number of areas in the software. Notably, it fixes access to my-Topo tiles, and adds a new European topo map tileset, courtesy of OpenTopoMap.org. We’ve made things a little faster, added support for Fenix units, fixed a long-standing and seemingly un-squishable bug in the insert points command, among other things.

We are still seeing issues with msrmaps.com, the old Terraserver, which has been returning a 503 (service unavailable) error for the last week. We do expect that server to return to working order, but it appears to be an extended downtime right now.

Update your TF and check out the new version (full list of changes below), or if you are new to TopoFusion, go ahead and try the demo. And as always, let us know what you think, especially if you have a suggestion for a new feature or different way the software should work.

Thanks!
