Hi there everyone, Thanks again for all your suggestions and patience! I'll sit down and take a look at it soon and report back on whether or not I can make it work. Kind regards, Jimi. On Mon, Nov 2, 2020 at 3:03 PM Bernd Vogelgesang wrote: > > On 02.11.20 13:57, Fernando M. Roxo da Motta

Hi again Garth, Well I parked this problem and only just came back to it. I may have missed something, but when I create the new fields you suggested in the Track they contain no information. Is this a very advanced procedure? It seems like something quite basic, but perhaps I've underestimated

Hi there Greg and Charles, Many thanks for your help as well; I guessed it was something like this, but there are many distinctions in GIS which are lost on a total novice like me! Kind regards, Jimi. On Thu, Sep 10, 2020 at 10:03 PM Greg Troxel wrote: > > Charles Dixon-Paver writes: > > >

Turns out the wikipedia article for GPX has a nice diagram that explains routes vs tracks etc pretty well... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GPS_Exchange_Format On Thu, 10 Sep 2020 at 21:07, Charles Dixon-Paver wrote: > I'm not familiar with the app you refer to, but I think the data you're >

I'm not familiar with the app you refer to, but I think the data you're after is the attribute information (right click a layer and open attribute table). Routes are an ordered combination of points, which indicate the position and direction, whilst tracks are a log of the receiver position over
