Saving 'favorite track segments' to a file?
« on: August 19, 2016, 01:51:33 AM »
Does anyone have a good solution for managing 'favorite bits' of multiple tracks in a single file?

I'd like to be able save tracks of enjoyable bits of road to a single file as an aide memoir when planning routes in an area I haven't visited for a while. On paper maps I used to use a highlighter and a 1-3/A-C classifications system. I'd like to do the same for digital maps.  Its possible with load/cut/merge/save tracks in Topofusion but far too clunky to be usable.

Have you thought about doing a massive "merge files and save as...." with all the possible bits and pieces, then go in and right click on pieces you don't want to do a "delete segment"?  That might be easier than doing lots of merges and deletes and such.

Thanks Scott. That would probably be easier but still difficult to manage I think. Actually, I've come to the conclusion that this is a requirement where old tech still provides a better solution: I use Orux for on-board navigation but it doesn't have a way of marking good bits that I can use while riding my motorcycle and by the end of the day its usually all too much of a blur to remember where they were. Better to stop for a coffee and get out the highlighter pen while its still fresh in my mind.

Yep, the old highlighter pen is still a pretty dang good option for some stuff!
