Havin that native in some related software would be awesome. I think aven would be a good candidate for that, as well as loch. Am 2021-11-28 22:33, schrieb Tarquin Wilton-Jones via Therion:
I implemented such functionality (not the visualization) a while ago as a little exercise in Python. If you know how to run a Python script, then you might find this useful.
Awesome!
I would love for that to be built in to Aven, so it could actually highlight the route too (you know the problem, you give someone an inch they ask for a mile).
It's something I have wanted when showing someone a survey in Aven; "Show me the route I took". That is not always the shortest route, but much like with Google Maps, it would use the shortest route between control points.
Instead, I end up manually copying it into an image editor, and adding a background along the route.
(This is kind of off topic for Therion of course, but actually, I would love for Loch to have a lot of the features that I still rely on Aven for, such as selecting stations and splays and measuring between them. So I guess that would be needed first!) _______________________________________________ Therion mailing list Therion@speleo.sk https://mailman.speleo.sk/listinfo/therion
