Tracks Page

What is a track?

A Track is an overlay which is a record of a path you have previously followed (a recording or view of "where you've been"). Sometimes these are referred to as "trip logs", "track logs", or "breadcrumb trails".

Tracks List page

then tap the Data button and tap on Tracks.

The buttons located along the top of the window also allow you to open the Marks List page and the Routes List page.

The Tracks List page displays a list of tracks which are currently defined within the app.

For each entry in the list, you will see the following summary information:

• Date the track was created
• Length of the track
• Elapsed time taken to record the track

You can tap any item on the list to go to the Details page, where you can make changes.
