To change Track into Route
Making a route from a track is a way to re-navigate a previous trip. This function can be used, for example, to
transform an old track into a Planning Route and then activating it.
Converting a track into a Route :
1. Surround a complete track on the chart with the Select tool.
2. All points in the track appear selected on the chart as it is shown in pictures below.
3. To change the track into a route, choose [Import selection to Route...] from the [Route] menu.
4. Only extremities points of each straight line are converted to waypoints, the others are not converted because
the software can not create more than 100 waypoints at once.
All points in the track are selected on the chart
After converted Track into Route, only waypoints are displayed on the chart. For displaying the route on the chart you
may call up the Route Center and select the route named with the"PTF" file name. Then the route appears on screen
and it covers up the track. The track is not erased, it is still there, click on the Layers information button to hide it.
