Does anyone have Topo USA that has 7 cd's of all the topos in the usa? I just got it and am checking it out. We went on a backpack at comptons in Arkansas and it was much to my dismay more than I wanted our boys to experience. Hence the topo program. It does a pretty good job of displaying elevations etc. I looked at several trails we have been on and know fairly well. It did a pretty good job of representing them... not perfect but close.
It is neat as we can now print off a topo with headings for just about anywhere in no time flat. This technlogy thing is really coming to full bore huh. With the signs of the times... it sure adds up...RAPTURE PRACTICE!!! If all goes well the Ranger Database will be ready for download with the new ranger program changes in a couple days. ( I am still waiting on GPH...grin) The Ranger Database is several steps ahead of what it was a year ago. So anyone who wants can start downloading the files from the website the 5 files that are not there will be linked up in a day or two. Each database file is ziped up. I will try this method as it will bring the size of the download down considerably and allow us to put up updates of just one file instead of the whole thing. Just copy the files into your c:\rangers\rr directory and unzip them there. The CD can be mailed to your house in the usa for $7.00 and includes some video help footage as well as a simple install menu. ANYONE upgrading from earlier versions need to back up there old files by renaming the directory they are in and putting in these new files in that directory c:\rangers\rr that have the same file names as the older program. Importing is simply as easy as loading up the old database select the records you want to import and then exit it and then load up the new file and import those records you just selected by pointing to the old database file. Like pouring water from one bucket into another bucket. It is easy to do. One will have to do this for each database they have records in. The permission database has really been enhanced to cover most anything you would need on a outing. Each outing has just to name a few. Permision Slip, Flyer, Check Request Form, Bulletin Request Form, Check off list, To do list, Delegation List, Prizes List, Menu, Activity Schedule, Shopping List, Outing rules, signs, costume, fasiod, balance sheet, money calculator and more. That is just one of the files that has been enhanced. Basicly as I go in our Outpost, Section Div, Dist. The things I will do again and again I make a way of organizing them so the next time I do them the work it is mostly done.. just need to change the numbers and dates and times. Well I have rambled on long enough. Rangernet has been kind of slow lately. Thought I would throw in some different stuff. Anyone for a Rangermobile Race photo?
