I don't know if I'm just unlucky, but my unit occasionally seizes up and loses its signal. Annoying enough. When I re-set I get a straight line between the point where the signal was lost and refound.

I would like to try and edit the imported route on my laptop to represent the actual walk done by moving the marks along the straight line (I did it once before but can't remember how).

Can anyone advise? Is this the best way to try to repliciate the actual route taken? I don't suppose there is much I can do about the seizing up!

Hi Barry,

It's probably a track which you've imported. There are two possible methods:

Right-click on the track and use the Convert Track to Route option. You can then drag the waypoints and add any more that you wish (Right-clicks again). Then convert the Route back to a track (note that the intermediate tracks and routes are not deleted but only "hidden").

However, IMHO the better (but more tricky) method is to Split the track at the points where the "straight line" starts and ends, delete the line, create your own intermediate track and then join the tracks together again.

Both these methods have a few "gotchas", generally concerned with the "minimum update distance" set in the track properties. "Save As" the track before you start and ask again if you need more help.

Cheers, Alan.

Thanks Alan, that's real help. Am I unlucky to have a unit that seizes up and loses the signal completely until I'm lucky enough to notice? (it wasn't in woods)
