Anquet Tracklog

Mike Mason said:

Anyone know if it possible to save an anquet tracklog as a
route. If so how.

Mike Mason

Import the tracklog then save it as a route from the
file menu.

Regards, Kenneth.

It's a bit more complex than that.

Import the tracklog from your GPS. To do this GPS - View
Contents - Make sure that tracklogs is ticked on the screen
that shows. Click on Import Screen. This will show another
small window with a button saying import and also the tracks
stored. Select the track you want and click on 'Import'

Now you need to convert the track to a route. Firstly, place
waypoints along the track so that you can select points
along the route, i.e you cannot have 1 waypoint at the
beginning and one at the end, unless the track begins and
ends in 2 completely different places. You then need to
right click on the waypoint at the beginning of the route
and select New Route. This will open a small window called
route description. Go to the next waypoint on the route and
double click on it. Repeat this until you have come to the
end of the track. Then select File - Save Route As. Route
completed!!!

Clear as Mud!!!

Well - you've just described the Import process. Except that
you've managed to miss out a couple of steps.

(a) find a suitable computer (if not, develop your own it'll
take a few years and you'll need to be handy with a
soldering iron, but hey - you've got to start somewhere.
(b) join the GPA and computer thing together with some wires
- again, depending upon how self-sufficient you are,
purchasing a suitable item from a dealer may be quicker.
In this case, fiest you'll need to build your own
transport. . . . . .)
(c) . . . . .

Don't see the problem. Anquet imports the track as a PATH.
You can amend this PATH or join it to other PATHS to make up
lots of ROUTES. Alternatively, just save the single PATH as
a ROUTE in the normal manner. If you need to add 1 interim
WAYPOINT, then where's the problem?

Anyone care to elaborate on how Memory Map / Fugawi or
Oziexplorer carry out these tasks?

'Active log' is imported as one track, any saved logs are
imported to separate tracks. After that you can manipulate
the track data using a whole stack of facilities, right down
to the individual node (trackpoint). Split tracks, join
tracks, edit, etc etc You can do the editing visually
overlaid on a map, or in table form.

see above. Once you've edited the data how you want, you can
select just the points you want within the track and save
them as a new file. Take it from me, the possibilities for
track handling in OZI are huge.

And of course you can import/export in a whole range of
formats (eg .SHP files for making your own gps maps)

Yeah, it's called "Get track from GPS"

Quoted message said:

e.g. to choose which track to import?

No, I just import the track. Thing is, I have a GPS12 which
only has one track and so I only have the "Get track from
GPS" option. You tell Ozi which model of GPS you have in the
configuration, so I presume it tailors the GPS menu items to
be specific to your particular GPS.

Quoted message said:

So, you have to list the GPS contents, select the track
you want and then import it?

No such option for mine. You may be confusing things with
Anquet. From what Jim Hutton wrote it sounds as though it
imports all the tracks in one go. No faffing about with
communicating with the GPS first to list what's on it,
you just download stuff with one click (tracks, waypoints
or routes).

What you may not realise is that Ozi can load multiple
tracks at one time, and they can be shown in different
colours to tell them apart. There's a track dialogue which
lists all the different tracks that are loaded. You can save
and load tracks individually to each track slot. Only the
first slot is "active" and can be edited, the others are
just displayed. If you want to edit a track you load it into
the first slot. I presume that with a multiple track GPS it
would simply load each track into a different slot.

Oh, and you don't "import" a track, you "download" it. With
Anquet the track is converted to it's own peculiar format,
which I believe means that you lose track point information
like timestamps. With Ozi it simply downloads the data
that's stored in the GPS without losing any data. You can
upload the same data back to the GPS and the data will
remain the same. The problem with Anquet is that when it was
first designed there was no GPS support, so Anquet defined
their own "waypoints", "paths" and "routes" which are not
the same as GPS "waypoints", "tracks" and "routes", so it
has to convert the data, i.e. import and export. A bit of a
kludge really. Ozi was designed specifically to work with
GPS data, so there's no "conversion".

Quoted message said:

(e.g. nodes) to be imported?

No, it just downloads the whole track. Why would you want to
lose detail?

Quoted message said:

Save track to file

So, if you've imported multiple tracks, you need to select
the one you want to save as a file?

Yes. If there's just one track you use the "Save track to
file" item in the menu, but if there are multiple tracks you
save them from the track dialogue box.

Quoted message said:

Are there options for modifying the track before saving?

Loads. You can even edit the timestamps if you want. If
you show the text listing of the trackpoints you can click
on any point and it will be highlighted on the map. This
is useful for seeing what time you were at any point on
the walk. So for example, if I took a good photograph
(digital) and I can't remember exactly where I took it
from, all I have to do is check the time on the photo and
find the same time in the Ozi track log to identify where
I was when I took it.

It can also show graphs of your walk, both speed and
altitude (if your GPS stores altitude data).

Well you might want to compress a track so you could store
more of them in a limited memory. I recall something being
available to reduce the number of trackpoints in a track but
since I've never had need of it haven't found or used it.
Since I have Ozi open at the moment I have just looked, and
there is a track filter control, for distance or angular
deviation between points. I do have a track compression
facility in GPioltS (Palm PDA software) which will lose the
time and altitude from trackpoints so you can use them for
map outlines.

Or make up points to fill gaps in the recorded tracklog.
I've done this on a couple of occasions where I have failed
to turn the GPS back on after a meal break.

Then of course you've got to plug all the cables into the
