Processing a Track

When you select a track and press the cursor pad centre or button, a context

menu is shown. There are two useful options to reduce the memory that a track

uses:

1. Remove spikes – removes any track points whose speed is much greater

or much less than the preceding and following points. These can occur due

to GPS glitches, for example walking under a dense tree canopy.

2. Reduce – halves the number of points in the track by removing every other

point.

Additionally Route from track creates a route that matches the track. It

simplifies the number of points to make the route manageable. The track is not

deleted.

Exporting a Track

You can export tracks that you have made from ViewRanger for use in other

mapping applications. ViewRanger exports its tracks in the commonly used

GPX format.

To export a track go a list view and highlight the track, or go to the Details view

for the track. Press the cursor pad centre or button and choose Export item

to GPX. You will be prompted to enter a filename and a GPX file containing the

track will be created in the memory card’s ViewRanger folder.

You can also use the Organizer’s Import / Export menu to export (and import)

multiple tracks.

Time at a point

If you move the select cursor over the track the

third line of text on the screen shows the time that

you were at that point of the track and your speed

at that point.
