How to delete one of duplicate tracks from inReach?

I am getting two tracks for each trip I take; one is lower resolution (I think these are the sent points) and the other is high resolution (I think these are logged points that have synced). On Explore, selecting a particular track summary shows BOTH tracks on the map. How can I delete one of the tracks, e.g. the lo-res track?

Right now there are problems with the Explore website that Garmin is working to fix. You can't delete your high res tracks (assumed to be your internally recorded bread crumb trail) from the website, you have to delete them from the app or device.

Your lo res tracking (assumed to be inReach tracking) also can't be deleted. You may have a small circle with a plus or minus sign on it. That should toggle whether or not the tracking is visible, but it doesn't delete it.

When using Mapshare you can use the filter section to filter the visibility of both tracks on the Mapshare page.

Thanks for your reply. I tried the filters - the only Message Types filter that affected the tracks is "Track Points" and that turned both the lo-res and hi-res tracks on or off simultaneously. There is no small circle with plus or minus that I can find. Still no way to either delete or turn off visibility of only one of the tracks.

I have inReach tracks that have the circle with the plus or minus sign. I recorded a track yesterday and it did not.

If Garmin gets the website back to the way it used to work, then you will be able to hide inReach tracking with the little circle. It will hide both the dots and the connecting lines, but leave your recorded track alone. There is also a Track Summary associated with the inReach track (I don't recall that always being there) and if it could be deleted (can't now, but maybe later) it should delete the inReach tracking.

Your recorded track should eventually be able to get deleted once the website is working. I can use the "eye" icon to toggle whether collections are visible or not, but it doesn't seem to work with the track folder.

Hopefully, we won't have to wait long for the improvements, but no telling.

currently the only way of hiding some tracks is to set up time filter, means to display only elements between certain times.

Yes, not useful to time-overlapped duplicate tracks. Hopefully someone at Garmin is going to improve the Explore capabilities, as they are pretty miserable at the moment.

I think the best would be that garmin never touch the website part of it all. This comes from Delorme and did work well earlier. The more garmin try to 'improve' it, the worse it is.
