  4. On the right side you will see 3 new buttons - trashbin, + button and arrow pointing right. On the bottom of the screen you can find a waypoint button.

To start creating a track you need to:

  1. Centralize the crosshair on the point you want to start the track with.
  2. Once you found the correct point, press the “+” button on the right side of the screen, which will record the point on the screen.
  3. Then move the map to again keep the crosshair in the position you want to add to the track next.
  4. In case you want to add the track-point based on the coordinates, you can click on the coordinates next to the zooming buttons in the bottom right corner of the screen. This will open a popup window that allows you to edit the coordinates.
  5. After you have chosen the point press the “+” button again and repeat this procedure until you add all of the trackpoints of your track.


Special actions:

Adding a trackpoint/waypoint from the coordinates:

  1. Tap on the coordinates next to the zoom buttons in the bottom right corner of the screen.
  2. Edit the coordinates in the popup window.
  3. Press “ok” to display the coordinates location on the screen
  4. Press “+” or a Waypoint button to save the point.

Long tap on the Trashbin button:

  1. In the case of non saved track, it deletes the whole track.
  2. In case of saved track, it removes all the changes done since last saving.

Long tap on the “+” button:

  1. Splits the track in 2 (if the trackpoint you are tapping from is between second and last).
  2. Creates a new segment on the track

Long tap on the Right arrow button:

  1. Merges the current segment with the next segment of the track (if located on the last trackpoint of segment, when there is a following segment)
  2. Merges the current track with another track ( the tracks can be only merged with the tracks that are stored with the same method = opened, trackbook, local).
