Title: Log Book Entry
Post by: tedrusky on September 08, 2005, 09:37:44 AM

Thanks for the great program.  I have now purchased it and am converting all of my former MapSource files into TF.  I have a couple of questions regarding the logbook.

1.  Is there a way to get summary data for a specific type of activity?  For example, If I bike and ski in the same month, can I pull up summary data just for biking?  I have noticed that when I enter details into the logbook, "activity type" is one of the entry details.  Is this for my use only, can it be used to sort or is it a plan for the future?  I imagine I  could create 2 logs as described on the multiple log book section of the TF website.  

2.  Is there any way to enter a trail with no time data into the log book?  I have a file that I saved to my Etrex Vista as a saved track.  My GPS compressed the waypoints and removed time data.   I see that I can enter a "non GPS entry".  However, I can't seem to link that entry to the GPX file so that I can load it from the log book.  For example, how would you add the TF sample tracks to the log book if you know the date that they occurred?

Hi,

Glad you enjoy the program.

1.  The activity type is for visual purposes but also a plan for the future.  We're going to add better summary statistics that include activity type.

2.  Good idea.  You should be able to link a GPX file to a 'non-GPS' entry, or change the links on other entries.  I'll think about how best to do this.

Thanks for the ideas.
