TopoFusion GPS Mapping software designed to plan and analyze trails using topographic maps and GPS tracks.
Features
The product is marketed as a fully featured 'professional version and a more basic version with reduced functionality at lower cost. A fully featured trial version which is not time limited is available which restricts usability by watermarking map display tiles by overlaying the word 'DEMO'.[2] The software is available directly Microsoft Windows only,[3] however TopoFusion has claimed users have reported success using VMWare Fusion and Parallels emulation on Mac OS.[4][5]
Applications
The software was designed to plan and analyze trails.[1] When used for planning proposed routes may be planned and checked against different maps, and the result(s) downloaded to a GPS tracking device.[1] After a trail has been executed the resultant GPS log can be uploaded to TopoFusion and the actual route analyzed with the addition of any photographic images recorded on route.[1]
Topofusion has been found useful by those engaged in the sport of geocaching.[6]
Topofusion can also assist in determining where photographs have been taken on a trail and can geocoded photo the image or tag it onto a map. For this to be successful the digital camera's time must be synchronized with the GPS unit time, and both the GPS track and digital images made available to Topofusion. The time when the image was taken can then be matched to the time on the GPS log and this enables the image to be enhanced with geocode fields and Tofofusion can optionally annotate maps with images.[7]
