To make this easier, zoom right in and move by a small amount the start and end points where you split and join them so they are not exactly on top of each other. You have to make sure you have the tracks going in the same direction or else you will get long straight lines again. Now you can join the start point of the smaller track to the bigger loop where you split it and join the end point to the other split point of the bigger loop. Join the Northern ends of these two tracks so you now have one track which goes one way and returns to the same place. Duplicate the section of the smaller loop that's left. If the smaller loop is a complete circuit split it at both points where it meets the bigger loop and delete the section that travels along the same path as the bigger loop. Where this bigger loop meets the smaller loop at the most South Westerly junction, split the bigger loop. Edit the bigger loop (West of the water area) by splitting and joining so that the start and end points are at the North East of the loop where it meets the other tracks going North of the water so you can use these points to continue to join to the rest of the network of tracks. Using the two tracks at the bottom left (I'm assuming South West) of your map as an example. It looks like some of your start and end points don't do this.įirstly, make a copy of all the tracks and give them all a different colour to distinguish them from the originals. It's easier if the start and end points of each track are where they intersect another track. The only way I can see to achieve this is quite tedious and involves splitting tracks where they follow the same path and re-joining them in a different sequence with some sections returning over the same path to continue. I had a similar issue on a smaller scale when I wanted to plot all the newly created interconnecting footpaths of an area where the map had not been updated. ![]() I hope this clears things up, and maybe you have some idea how to do this? Again, thanks for the help! Also that there are not 111 different tacks in the track log on the gps because it makes it very difficult to find things in the gps. I would like to have the whole trail network visible the whole time without having to select which track I want to drive. ![]() The problem with so many tracks is displaying that on the gps- a garmin montana 650. We only need to know if we are still on the trail or driving off where it should go. There is no need for any type of navigation guidance. What I need is to be able to see the whole trail network on our gps in the machine while we are out driving. For some reason they have it organized like this with many different tracks. I received an email with a folder from the 3rd party with the gpx data for out trail network. Thanks for you answer :) I am sorry if I was not clear in what I am trying to achieve.Ī bit of background, the tracks you see in my Basecamp are from a 3rd party who have a gps unit in our track machines, they have an app for the general public who can see when the different tracks were last prepared. Are you absolutely sure you need a single navigable track?. Those 2 tracks would have to be turned into 5 tracks just to make a single track for that section. The join list would look be as follows:ĭivided Reversed N to S duplicate section headed towards the Northern most pointĭivided Reversed N to S duplicate section headed towards the connector The N to S track would have to be duplicated and the duplicate reversed and divided into two separate tracks at the point where connector joins. To turn that into a single track, you would have to duplicate the connector and then reverse the duplicate. Lets say you had two tracks for that section - one vertical track N to S and one connector track to E to W. Look at the invereted Y in the upper left of your trail system. Are the preparers actually going to complete this work in a single outing without splitting up? The latter requires a map overlay which could be done with either of SUSSAMB's suggestions (javawa app or simply showing all tracks if that will work on devices you will use). The former looks like a lot of work and I would have to ask why it needs to be a single track for the entire trail system. ![]() BaseCamp will join tracks in the order that they are listed in the Join dialog.Īre you trying to create a Navigable track for trail preparers or simply lines on the device for them to try and follow with the device cursor? Joining two tracks into a single track requires a connection between the last point in the first track with the first point in the second track. A track is a sequence of connected points that must be followed in order.
