Tracks
If you connect to a GPS, ViewRanger lets you track your location. You can
track your position on the Map view and you can record your track so that you
can later review the route that you followed and get information such as
distance, average speed, etc.
Following Your Location on the Map
ViewRanger can follow your location in the Map view. This allows you to
instantly identify your position on the map.
To start tracking, in the Map view select Lock to GPS or press 2.
If you have previously used ViewRanger with a GPS and that GPS is available,
ViewRanger will connect to that GPS.
If you have not previously connected ViewRanger to a GPS, or the GPS you
last used is not available, ViewRanger will ask you to choose a GPS. Select the
GPS you wish to use and click OK.
Once ViewRanger receives valid co-ordinates from the GPS, it will update the
Map view to show that location in the centre of the screen.
Recording a Track
To record the route that you have taken (commonly called a tracklog) either:
1. Choose Create > Record track from the Options menu
2. Go to Options > Settings, swap to the Track page, and set Record track to
On
When you are connected to a GPS and recording a track, the top right corner of
the header bar will show a red record icon If you are not recording it shows a
grey stop icon.
You can see the details of your track logs in the Organizer under Tracks.
