About TopoFusion

TopoFusion grew from a dissatisfaction in current mapping programs. After searching and evaluating GPS Mapping programs, we came to the conclusion that not only could things be done better, they needed to be done better. We wrote TopoFusion to fill a need. We wrote it for our own use, and hope others will find it useful too.

The program continues to evolve and grow as we, the authors, use it to log our adventures. We have many ideas on the drawing board for extensions and new features. We also welcome any suggestions/ideas. The program has been largely shaped by our user base.

Personnel

TopoFusion is written by Alan and Scott Morris. Brothers, outdoor enthusiasts, mountain bikers and former wilderness rangers. Both hold Master's degrees in Computer Science.

Scott Morris is a mountain bike adventurer, PhD student and freelance writer. He holds several ultra distance mountain bike records, including the fastest traversal of the cross-state Arizona Trail. He logs his adventures at topofusion.com/diary.

TopoFusion supports Trails

What would we do without trails? TopoFusion is a proud sponsor of the volunteer Cienega Corridor Construction Project, bringing you 25 miles of some of the sweetest singletrack on the Arizona Trail!

Scott Morris received Pima Trail Association's "Extra Mile" award for volunteer efforts in GPS trail design, maintenance and construction throughout Southern Arizona.
