Working with Tracks


User Tracks

OziExplorerCE supports a maximum of 5 User Tracks.

Tracks can be created in OziExplorerCE or tracks from the full PC OziExplorer can be loaded. Tracks created in OziExplorerCE can be loaded by PC OziExplorer.

The total number of track points loaded is 20,000 (this is the combined sum of all 5 tracks). Loading a large number of track points from a file will be very slow and having 20,000 track points loaded may slow performance considerably.

Using the Track Toolbar (view)

Tip : If you want to measure a distance, click on the Track number button until you have an empty track active. Use the add or insert button to add track points to mark the distance you are measuring. Display the track list and obtain the measured distance from the Distance column for the track.

The Track Log

When in moving map mode (real time tracking) the track can be automatically logged to a file called "cetrack.plt". If track logging is turned on the file "ceTrack.plt" will continue to grow in size so should be cleaned up from time to time.

The track is also logged into memory and displayed on the map as a track tail (only the last 1000 points are kept).

If you want to log your trip you should always use the automatic logging to the "ceTrack.plt" file, do not use the track memory log as this only stores the last 1000 points and is only intended for viewing the recent track history.

Note:

When using moving map mode the length of the track displayed will be equal to the "Track tail" length set up in configuration. When not in moving map mode the full length of the track will be displayed up to the limit of 1000 points.
