Saving Tracks in Mapsource as New Routes?

[gsbiker]

Hello, I have a query about using Mapsource. I've just done a trip around Wales and have transferred my tracks/log files from GPS to Mapsource. I've grouped each set of tracks for each day I travelled - Day 1, Day 2, Day 3, Day 4. My question is how can I save each day as a new route for future return rides? Is it possible please? If so how?

Regards
Paul.

One way is to pass the tracks through a program that is called WINGDB3

See this info page: http://www.sackman.info/

and click on the link just towards the top... Great little program enabling the sort of thing you are trying to be achieved... Plus much more...

Thanks srace7 I'll play with that. Looks just the job! Cheers

I spoke to Garmin and they said the only way was to draw a new route over the top of the tracks I logged to create a new route.

They would... Because that's what you have to do using their kit and software...

The WINGDB3 program works a treat... Yell if you have any issues...

How can I move a route once I've drawn it with Route Tool? Although WINGDB3 is very handy it also converts mistakes (roads where I did a uturn for example). So I have been using the Mapsouce Route Tool to draw the route I want from the tracks imported from my GPS. However I want to edit the route cause I made a mistake there also. Cant see a way of moving a route once drawn?

Here's where I want to delete the apex in red and route where the green line goes to shorten the journey?

can you not just highlight the points on the track and delete them, and that would take the point out ?

If its a route, you can click on the route line and it will turn yellow, now click and release on the segment you want to change and you will get a point with two black lines to the extremeties of the route, move the point to where you want to move the route and click.
