Title: Track editor (GPX)
Post by: ArcMa on January 20, 2012, 14:30:06
Hi everyone!

I tried many online services and offline programs for track separate/trim and other edit, but all they are partially removed information (<desc> and point's tags, such as <pdop>, <course> and <speed>) that provides Locus :(
At least saved tags <ele>, <time>, <speed>...

So which track editor you use?

hehe, nice Berkley :). Unfortunately Locus still do not have "separate" function. What you need to do with exported tracks that any of web editors do not fit your needs?

Depends on what to do, I use one of these:
- Google Maps
- Google Earth
- QuantumGIS

Hello ArcMa
When you re-save the edited gpx in a Editor, then disappear important informations (added by locus).
Is that your problem?

btw.
 If you have found an editor - let us know ;)

Hello ArcMa
Have you found anything?
There are some editors on the inet - that work.
If you want, you can send a GPX-file as an attachement.
I will (e.g.) cut a trackpoint and send you back as an example.

Thank all for your participation!

Exactly, I found the Locus can remove points. But that's not enough for track big edit.
I think that the possibility of editing in Locus will be a solution.
Quote from: "zailor"Edit Tracks ?? - why and how ?
For example the Locus track recording was turned on all day and recorded a track of car, ski and walking. After that I want to split track by activity type and remove unnecessary points. I want to know elevation of precisely ski trip.
Quote from: "gynta"Is that your problem?
Yes, exactly. All of them trim track description or move it to another tag. And they trim track info, any from this:
<ele>827.00</ele>
<time>2012-01-04T12:27:07Z</time>
<pdop>27.97</pdop>
<speed>0.83</speed>
For example after I export track from Locus to http://www.gobreadcrumbs.com (http://www.gobreadcrumbs.com) and immediately export from gobreadcrumbs to Locus through GPX format:
Locus have no info (in information window) in this fields:
Created, Max.speed, Average speed, Track time and Speed graph :(
I just want to edit a track, load back to Locus and see all the information that was previously..
[attachment=1:2bfxvpyd]locus_original_20120104_1326_2split.gpx[/attachment:2bfxvpyd]
[attachment=0:2bfxvpyd]after_gobreadcrumbs_placemarks.gpx[/attachment:2bfxvpyd]

Tracks additional information regarding I came to the conclusion that in spite of a common standard GPX, each editor has its own subformat..

Probably not the place, but by the way about the track list in Locus:
I think that the display mode when it shows title and description PLUS date+time, track distance and time from track inside information will be useful because after that we can use title and description field for its intended purpose..

http://www.gps-freeware.de/ (http://www.gps-freeware.de/)
-> http://www.gps-freeware.de/Download.aspx (http://www.gps-freeware.de/Download.aspx)

But I'm sure - there are more gpx-editors in the whole internet.
use google.

I played around with one of my "locus-tracks"
First I did a export then I did a import to the app My Tracks.
AND there I have  Max.speed, Average speed, Track time and Speed graph !

Sure, but i think ArcMa talk about EDIT (cut, split/seperate, delete trackpoints, move trackpoints) exported tracks and then import back to Locus.

Hello all,
my first post... I use Locus Pro for geocaching (besides GeOrg) and want to thank you for the good support in this forum.

Now to the question: How about using a text editor like "Jota Text Editor"? I use it to edit waypoints in gpx-files on my phone. Large files are supported. Best text editor I found. Could be also used for tracks and routes...

Greetings,

Hi,

I used successfully GPSPrune on Linux and Windows systems.

Hint: Just type in one coordinate like N50 E10 in Point and you will see the map.

GPSPrune is perfect for editing tracks and it's totally free :-)

Cheers,

René
