Add ? (mark) as a marker icon option
We have 35-40 icon options for markers. I have situations where a simple ? would be the appropriate icon for the mark. Seems like it would be easy to add to options.
1 voteYou can use any TrueType font as a marker symbol in TNP (on the PC.) When picking symbols, note the drop down list of “Available Styles”. Choose “System Font Symbols” then whatever Font you wish, then a question mark. You may also want to explore additional symbol fonts – including those that can be downloaded online (in TrueType format.)

Consider using a program called DMAPPER to do live tracking.
I am with Silver Star Search and Rescue, of Washougal, WA. We have been using a program called DMAPPER to do live APRS tracking. We use Yaesu ham ht's to track our teams with. DMAPPER only costs $40.00, and is well worth the cost. Our trackers only have to reach back to our SAR Base, but if they hit a digipeater, you can follow them on APRS.FI. The program can update their position and keeps track on if the team is moving, when the last time heard from was, or if they have been sitting too long. This is all…
1 voteWe currently support any APRS-style receiver that uses NMEA data. For details, see: https://tnp.uservoice.com/knowledgebase/articles/172139

Allow selection of both Name and Area (Total) as the Label in the Fill Area of a polygon.
I would like to be able to show more than one parameter as the Label in the Polygon Fill Area, specifically, I'd like to be able to choose both Name and Area (Total)
3 votesThe ability to select Name and Area (Total) as an automatic Polygon label has been in TNP since version 12.0., released 4/22/2019. In the Edit Polygons window, set the Fill Area, Label to “Name / Area (total)”. There are other labeling options there as well.

More label choices
Please provide more format choices for labels. The little speech bubble shape looks very unprofessional, and the simple square/circle shapes have no pointers (adding lines to the squares/circles is possible but cumbersome).

Make polygons exportable like other objects: Markers, etc.
We use TNP extensively for our search and rescue team and have just started using polygons to identify search areas and separate projects for each operational period that the search lasts. If I could export polygons exclusively, I could easily build the basis for the next operational period and add polygons to extend our search area.

Position Marker Text
I would like flexibity in determining the placement of the marker text. Rather than use the label tool, I'd rather specify the quadrant the marker text is to be positioned, or better still, let me click and drag the text independently of the marker's position.

provide a phone number to call for support
Provide a phone number to call for support. Can't find it in the program or your web site.
2 votesOur toll free number for live, US-based technical support is published on our web site and in our products: 800-627-7236. Do note that we do not employ a call center, instead callers are answered by those directly responsible for TNP’s design, service, and sales. If you call and get our voicemail, we are likely helping someone else (or in the midst of planning/implementing/testing new features and improvements for TNP). Please leave a voicemail message and we will call you back as soon as we can (usually within an hour, during normal working hours.) Calls that do not leave a voicemail message are automatically discarded by the system and are not able to be returned.

I would like to be able to scan a paper trail map and use it as a layer in TNP
Many parks have campsite and trail maps in paper format. I would like to be able to scan the paper map into a digital format such as a PDF or JPEG and overlay it as a semi transparent layer over a topo map in TNP so that the local trail and campsite information appears on the topo map. I often do not have access to a geocoded TIFF file and would like to simply overlay the map and manipulate it into position using a layer.
3 votesWe have released version 11.03 which includes access to an optional plug-in “Construction Module” that offers this (and related) functions. It is available on a trial basis to select customers.

Please return to non seamless maps
I just installed version 11.0. I am not happy that all the maps are seamless now. I work with individual 7.5 minute topo maps and need to know their respective boundaries. I will be uninstalling this version so I can go back to the old system. Also, upon exiting the program should retain the last project you were working on. It is really annoying that one has to re-enter the project each time you log in.

Version 11.04 of Terrain Navigator Pro – released 12/5/2017 includes this new feature. When Information is picked in the Manage MapPacks window – the selection tool will now indicate the area of coverage (of the minimum display scale) of that MapPack. We also added a ‘Find’ button to open the map view at that location.

Add USGS Standard Scales to Map Scale Drop-Down
Add the conventional USGS map scales (24,000, 50,000, etc.) to the drop-downs for viewing and printing.
7 votesIn the just-released TNP version 11.08, the Print window now features standard map scales, rather than those that are optimized for on-screen display.

I installed an update 4-20-2017, now city names no longer appear on the start up screen
1 voteCity names will appear; depending on the map scale and map type. At less-detailed scales, the “hybrid” satellite image map is used – which offers major cities, etc. For tips on making the most of TNP 11’s map types and scales, please see: https://tnp.uservoice.com/knowledgebase/articles/1110553

Map packs a pain..Need to be able to select tile by tile and/or at least by County.
We need all of WV aerial and/or satellite imagery on hard drive in event of disaster (internet not available). In previous versions you could select individual image "tiles" to down load. You could then seamlessly scroll n/s/e/w. With Map Pack, to get the whole state, the select tool which then gives you half of all the surrounding states that we don't need. It won't load - to much data....It would be nice to be able to select the tiles by County to get the whole state. It would also be nice to have the aerial and/or satellite images on DVD/CD.…

Start-up Screen
It would be extremely helpful if when you open the program that you can set a home start location like on Google Earth, so you do not have to continually zoom in and try and locate your area every time.
Also, it would be very nice to actually view the USGS topos like before so we can read the map information of the sheet.

Please allow me to adjust the street width layer without affecting other layers.
Please allow me to adjust the street width layer without affecting other layers. Even minor roads can show up as very wide and give a false impression that even dirt roads are major thoroughfares through a property. As it is, when I reduce the road width, all the other line widths...such as polygons... are reduced as well.
4 votesVersion 11.04 of Terrain Navigator Pro – released 12/5/2017 includes this new feature. Not only can you specify a width of the street – you can pick from a wide assortment of colors for primary roads, secondary roads, and trails.
