MRA_Routeplanner - difference between Track and Route-Track?
-
I'm sorry about, but I can't understand why MRA-Routeplanner differenciates between Tracklogs (which has been received from somewhere else) - and Route-Tracks (which also has been received from somewhere else).
A received gpx file can be uploaded to MRA-Routeplanner as both variants.
If you are uploading a gpx file, which contains <trk> information only - you can upload and import in MRA-Routeplanner as Route-Track as well as Tracklog.
But what is the sense behind? What is the difference?The only difference/inconsistency I can see, is the construction of the page:
- Route-Track offers in side menue the options for privacy and publish to activities
- A Tracklog has only the option for privacy
- Both can be transformed to a route by 1 click
- Only if it's a self recorded tracklog by MyRoute-App, it contains a bit more information
But for all, I miss a field - as we have in routes - to enter some information/description about!
Next - if you are planning a route in MRA-Routeplanner, and you would like to remember/compare a former journey,
- you can add this (recorded) Track to the current route. But inside the route planning, the information abot the added track is poor.
- you can also (or additionally) add a Route or Route-Track. Also in this case the information about is poor if you are in route planning modus.
For both cases - if a tracklog or another Route/Route-Track has been added to a planned route - a mouse hoover in the main screen should inform about name of it. I miss it for more comfort in planning phase.
Ok - likewise, you can go into the side menue, section "Routes" or section "Tracklogs" and indicate by color, or click on the list item - then the main screen will focus to it.
Would someone be able to explain in more details - my @Hans-65
May it could become in consideration during rework of the Website?Nothing is impossible ;-)
In past: GARMIN Zumo 210->GARMIN Zumo 395->GARMIN XT=> now: DMD T865-X + MyRoute-App, LocusMaps, OsmAnd.
In past: GARMIN MapSource ->GARMIN BaseCamp->Tyre->Kurviger->Calimoto=> now: MRA-Routplanner. -

The mistake is already in here
- Tracks are "breadcrumb" trails of a route. It is a collective noun for more specific types of tracks
- Tracklogs are tracks obtained by a recorded drive, hence "log"
- Route-tracks are tracks generated from a route in a route planner
The difference navigation wise is that a tracklog is usually not very pleasant to navigate, because it has all kinds of inconsistencies caused by deviations and halting at traffic lights, gas stations and lunch locations.
