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.

Allow track and route names/numbers to be displayed on screen as markers are.
Currently you can't have track names on-screen. Names, trail numbers, etc., are very useful for our SAR unit. Having such a feature would save us time in preparing mission maps.

In prefrences ,range rings, allow input of 4 unique distances before returning to map.
In the SAR world early in a missing person search, one of the first uses of TNP is to describe the statistical data base of lost persons. This nationwide database expresses data in 25,50,75, and 95 percentile rings. It would greatly assist our efforts to be able to input four unique range rings in Preferences/range rings/set by distance so we would not have to work back and forth from set up to map to set these statistical rings.

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.

Alter a project while the print screen is open.
Often I enter the print screen and take many steps setting up a print then need to make a small adjustment, such as hiding certain tracks or markers or changing colors, and have to close the print screen, make the changes and then reopen print to make all the adjustments that were just set up to print the next map.

when editing polygon, please enable 'double-click-to-add-vertex-and-finish'
this would be a bit quicker (and easier to train / easier to get people to remember) than going to the Finish button. After v9.5.

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).

'favorites' or 'recent' in list of GPS types
our team goes back and forth between garmin 60 csx usb and garmin 62s usb almost exclusively. There are 2 or 3 others (etrex, rino, 76csx usb, etc) that we use now and then as needed. Can you add a 'favorites' or 'recently used' at the top of the listbox of gps types, to save the time of having to scroll thru the list each time?

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?

Be Able to Start A New Line At or On an Existing Line or Object
Currently, new lines have to be started a short distance away from any existing lines or features. This causes a glitch in the professionalism of maps because there are "stub outs" that have no purpose and always raise questions by map recipients.

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.)
