Having used memory-map for a few years now I have many routes and tracks saved on my PC. They are hidden until needed. When I sync'ed with the iphone all these routes and tracks are now visible.

How can I hide these routes and tracks without having to delete them. i could see no "hide" option on the iPhone, and the "hide" attribute on the PC does not seem to carry over to the iPhone.

I delete them from the map then reload them from the saved data on the iPhone as required.
The delete is only the local map version of the track or route not the imported file, which is preserved.

Thanks for the suggestion.

Experimenting I see that I can delete tracks and routes. I see that I can save the overlay data, delete routes and tracks, then load the saved file to get them back. However, that seems like an all or nothing approach i.e. you get back ALL the deleted routes and tracks.

Is there a way of getting them back individually? I see that if you select a route or track, then select the "email" option but cancel the email, you end up with a file with that individual route/track name that can be loaded. Is that what you mean?

It sounds like you saved all your routes and tracks as single overlay file export.

It is better to save each as an individual file permitting you to open just the one you need.

That is probably true, but still is a far from optimal solution.

The problem is, there is no way to see whether (or where) the tracks / routes you have showing in MM on iOS are saved to a file. You can obviously have your own system, but MM gives no clue. If you delee a track / roue (which is the only way to prevent it being displayed) then you've just got to hope you remembered to save it, and that you can find it again. What MM for iOS desperately needs is a way - like the original poster of this thread asked for - is a way to just "hide" a track / route. I really have zero interest in having to manage a set of tracks / routes which are open in MM, and an entirely separate (but overlapping) set of .gpx files containing other tracks / routes. It would be sooooo much easier to use if all of my tracks / routes just lived in MM and *if* i ever want them on a different device i'll export them to a file. If i don't, then i'd like them to just continue to exist in MM, with me able to turn them on and off at will.

There's space in the interface to do it, the same type of buttons already exist to just toggle individual tracks / routes on and off, all it needs is an extra field in MM's datebase somewhere next to each track / route to indicate whether to show or hide that track / route. Then the map display ignores any route not set to display. It's such a basic function, could be implemented to easily, and would make such a huge difference to the usability of routes / tracks.

I note that one of the MM support staff just posted that they'll add someone's request to be able to reverse a route to the devlopment wishlist. If they could add this as well, it's such an easy change it would be massively appreciated.

I totally agree - the overlay approach in the PC version of Memory-Map is also a bit messy and this has carried over to the iPhone.
The properties of each route or track can be edited on the PC to assign a name that could be used to permit a hide/show status once uploaded.
