Title: Track point management
Post by: berck on April 04, 2005, 11:42:54 AM

I've noticed that you can delete track points. I believe that the one time I tried this it didn't work (probably using version 2.0 or 2.1). Has this been improved?

Also, would it be possible to add the ability to edit the track points? I particularly would like to edit the elevation data. Sometimes that data drifts from poor coverage and doesn't record well.

What do you mean by it not working?

Often there are multiple track points on top of each other.  Selecting one and hitting delete will only delete that point.  You can use the box tool to grab and delete multiple.

I agree that we need track point editing, similar to how you can edit waypoints now.

Well, like I said, it was an older verison of topofusion. What I did was delete the track point, but when I check the gpx file afterwards, it was still there. It was also there after I restarted TF. I was trying to remove points from when I got off my bike and walked around (I prefer to have my gps unit on my water pack vs the handle bar mount, less vibration). I ended up editing the gpx file manually

Sorry if this sounds stupid, but are you saving the file after you delete the points?  I delete points all the time from GPX files and have never had it fail.  

Nothing in that functionality has changed from 2.1 -> 2.5.

If you can re-create this problem, please let me know and send me the GPX file it doesn't work on.

Thanks.

I thought I did, but I may not have. I will try it again soon. I'm going on a big ride this Saturday, and I'll need to delete out the points were I'm walking around.

EDIT:
Yes, the track point editing worked after I saved the file. You can only delete one point at a time. It would be nice if you can select multiple points.
