Introducing TripManager

[FrankB]

Thanks Tom,

If you have any questions, remarks about the program or the PDF documents, dont hesitate to post them. Like any other software this will have its flaws. My aim is to make it as good as possible. Feedback from users like you is very welcome.

I am intrigued by the Post Processing feature, especially the ability to "unglitch" and put shaping points back on the road. I currently check every shaping point on every route before transferring routes to the XT. I can be time consuming.

[FrankB]

Just give it a try, with a route/area you are familiar with. You only have to check 'Shaping points'. Optionally you can rename them to route + distance or sequence number.
Beware: Create a backup first, the program will overwrite the GPX file without any confirmation.

I gave it a quick try with a couple of shaping points off the main route, one announcing and one not. It seems to have thrown an error upon attempting import back into BaseCamp. The only thing I changed in the tool was the field showing km to miles for Processing Shaping Points. Not sure how that impacts things.

If you post the gpx, or send me a pm, I will look into it.

Frank (@FrankB ), there is a 'Temp path' button for which I can not find any reference in the documents. What did you envision as its purpose?
Also, how is that temp directory used?

[FrankB]

A program can not read/write from an Mtp device directly.
So for every action on the device it first has to copy that file to a temp path and then copy the file back.
The button opens a new window with the temp path open. For debugging mainly.

I may remove the button in the future.
