Auto-Detect GPS unit within Software or Pull Laptop USB Info to derive correct unit
Request to update the TNP software to allow for it to correctly
recognize the GPS unit that is currently connected to the USB port vs. having to manually select the make and model within your software. Often I have several different makes and models I am
working with, and an auto-detect feature would go a long way in
assisting with tracks from a multiple variety of units, vs. having to change it every time there is a different model connected.4 votesI am not sure this is possible to do, because of the wide variety of GPS manufacturers and models. Garmin alone has four or five different protocols that we would have to detect.

Display track information (primarily track length and track area) by track in the "Edit Track" screen
As envisioned, this feature would allow user to obtain information about mulitple tracks from one location by toggling through track list rather than having to left click on each track in a map.

show secondary coords (as readonly) in Edit Marker and Info dialog boxes
Often we need to get the exact coords of an already-drawn marker, in the secondary coord system. Right now to do this we have to change the primary coord system, since only the primary coord system shows up in the Edit Marker dialog box and the Information popup for a maker. Can you please add the display of the secondary coord system, grayed-out / read-only, to both of those displays?

send polygon labels to GPS as waypoints; movable polygon labels
allow polygon labels to be moved, and exported to GPS as markers; or, actually make a marker (automatically) that is the polygon label, with name but no symbol - currently we make markers with no symbols, named the same as the search segment track, and place them in a non-cluttered spot inside the segment (polygon), and export them to GPS along with the segment boundaries (closed loop tracks / polygons).

Import Elevation data for viewing in 3D.
I would like to be able to import data sets with 3D information. For example a .DXF (referenced to WGS84) with construction details of a large dam and be able to visualize these models with the 3-D viewer. Ideally the user could then elect which elevation model to pin the GPS location to, either the imported data or the underlying .mth or .evh. The pinning functionality would be a second priority in my opinion and could just default to one of the above options.

Watershed Delineation
"Fill" a watershed with virtual water from a set elevation to visualize a hypothetical impoundment area on topographic maps and aerials. This is useful for planning ponds, lakes, and culverts. (This feature is available on Global Mapper.)

I am know to pick good campsites
Here in the NW it is wise to get sunshine in camp, even more so at higher elevations in deep forest. So I would like to see the suns path animated throughout a day, and with the sun in the proper location for whatever time of the year, In 3D mode with the shadows show from ground level wherever your location might be.

more keyboard shortcuts
these are the shortcuts we could really use, including our top wish list items in each category:
toggle display of various layers
-- tops: Markers, Tracks, Overlays, Routes, Labels, Custom Grid
(tied with the other request about keeping the layer visibility palette in the left sidebar - the main benefit there would be that you could leave it open without taking up real estate or blocking other actions)select tools from the toolbar
-- tops: Marker, Distance Tool (straight line), info, preferencesbring up the Layers dialogs (especially My Projects)
-- tops: Layers -> My Projects; Layers -> Markers; Layers…
4 votesWould like suggestions for the desired keystrokes. All key combinations must be with the CTRL key, and can not conflict with the existing keystrokes (as published in the Help page on Keyboard Shortcuts.)

faster rendering
- faster rendering that does not slow the system down as much for large data sets / many tracks. Maybe some sort of culling based on zoom or based on window area? I don't know graphics enough to be conversant on the topic in any more detail.

Add Direct GPS Support for DeLorme PN-40
I have a DeLorme PN-40 and would like to connect to it directly using the GPS menu of TNP, rather than importing and exporting GPX files.
