  RE: How do I access the "Travel Route Animation"
  Hi, Do you mean version 14 or 2014? If version 14, then TRA probably no longer works due to changes in the source website, meaning Openstreetmap.org. Magix made patches but only for version 17 and later. See the following information on the

  RE: Travel Route Animation: Editing
  Thanks John, I'll try that in the morning. In general, editing in TRA does seem ponderous though. Earlier, as I continued adding points, the time between clicking and the newly added route segment appearing was getting longer and

  RE: Vasco da Gama - Travel Route Animation - example & questions
  Hi Terry, My message was a little unclear. I did not actually buy anything. The message was in German and I noticed that they mentioned a patch to VdG. The patch solved a lot of problems. I have looked at Heroglyph LE and the travel animation

  Hi Terry, Yes, the file was mp4. Maybe this is my problem with the tutorial as well. My third try with different export parameters but still mp4 gives a green screen. In the tutorials upload instructions, it says that mp4 is a valid format. I

  Hi John, Yes, GE takes a lot of beating for this stuff! Thanks for the tip about track colour alternating, I'll try that too. I wrote a few macros (with Macro Express Pro) to help with some of the grunt work. 1. Copy a PNG 120 times and

  RE: Travel Route Animation: Experimenting with options
  Hi Terry, I downloaded your file and took a look. It ran fine. I think your approach will have to depend on what you want to show. I like the GE method because it shows the terrain. For the out and back, did you try a waypoint and then

  Hi Terry AFAICR we looked at adding extra objects for the animation route to use instead of the standard ships, planes, cars etc. I have done very little work with the latest TRA as I 'roll my own' and I have been investigating some useful

  Hi Terry, I can confirm that TRA does not work in both MEP17 and MEP MX. They both hang on "Loading map...." MEP 2013 and 2014 work. When starting TRA, there is a quick message "Testing internet connection" (same with 17 and MX) followed by

  Travel Route Animation: MEP 17 v MEP 2014
  I'm almost certain that TRA in MEP 17 allowed the use of animated symbols? Like moving boots, wheels, skis, etc. MEP 2014 doesn't have that feature. It appears to use a radically different approach, with 120 variations of the animation object,
