Track layer priority.

Post by Bryan »

I have several tracks showing on the map. The track I want to follow in one color and ancillary tracks in another. The tracks sometimes overlap. Is there some way to set a priority so that the track I want to follow is always on top? Thanks

I found the same confusion. I now transfer all tracks to the SD card and import only the active one I'm following. I delete it when no longer needed. Since it's stored on the SD, I can re-import it whenever I want to. I don't think I could do that if stored in internal memory tho I never tried with tracks. I know with routes, when deleted it's completely deleted from the device.

If you are using Explore, then you can hide and show collections to manage what shows on the map.

I solved my question as follows:

- Select the Track you want to highlight.
- Select “Go”.
- Answer which direction you want to go.
- Done! The highlighted track will be shown in “Magenta” so don’t use that colour for the tracks you have!
