Order problems joining tracks
Yesterday, 03:29 PM
I am sorting out a large number of tracks. Some are split. So I'm using "Join the Selected Tracks..."
Most tracks after joining look correct, but a couple have a straight line joining start to end in one and start to middle in the other.
I've never had this problem in the past using MapSource. These are all simple single day tracks.
I've inspected the tracks and discovered that the date/time is out of order. Is it possible to edit these ?
The problem with trying to join tracks is that you need to join them in the right order and ensure the end of one is next to the start of another. BaseCamp joins the tracks exactly as it's programmed to do, but often creates confusion the first time you try to do it.
There are two ways to join the tracks in the correct order. Select the first portion of your 'big track' in the lower left hand pane, then select the others by using Ctrl + Click in the order you want them to be joined, having first made sure that all tracks 'flow' in the right direction so starts of one track follows the ends of the ones you're joining them to.
The other method is to group select them all and then when you select 'Join the selected tracks' you will see icons on the right hand side allowing you to alter the order.
