Editing Tracks from my Tracks App

Hello

often I track with the great App My Tracks some hikes or other things.
One thing I miss there is the possibility of editing the tracks after tracking.
E.g. sometimes my GPS plays mad and tracks some points in Africa, so after tracking I suddenly have made 10.000 km instead of 10 ;)

Is this possible maybe with Locus?

Another thing I noticed: when I try to open (to display on the map) a My Tracks track in Locus and check the CheckBox of this track, it is half a second checked but then the CheckBox is unchecked again, I have no control over it. And I cannot uncheck a track like this, only by restarting Locus.
Is this a bug or a feature?

On SGS2 OS 2.3.5 root, with actual Locus and actual my Tracks.

Hello Franc,
  best for you should be record small track with Locus and check what you can then do with it. Removing of part of recorded track is in Locus since last version

  about "in-possibility" to load My Tracks tracks. I have same problem, seems to be problem of their API. So I updated their API and now they do not load to the list either. So we have to wait till they release some fixed version of their library, so Locus will be again able to load tracks

I track with My Tracks, because I can upload it right away to google and I think (but I don't know) that it is using less battery (see picture below).

It is not "in-possible" to load a My Tracks track. If I check the track in the list, the CheckBox is immediately unchecked, after beeing shortly checked.
Half a second or so. But the track is now visible in locus!
I see it as if the CheckBox hadn't been unchecked right away. The thing is now, that I cannot get rid of this track-line without restarting locus, because I cannot uncheck an unchecked CheckBox. And if I check it (unlogically) anyway, nothing changes, the track is still visible.
This cannot be a bug in the API of My Tracks, though.

Anyway, concerning the API of mytracks, is there a issue in the bugtrack of mytracks for this already?

I just updated to My Tracks 2.0 rc2 - no change to this issue.

Is there something new now?

Since 12.07.2012 the new version 2.0 of My Tracks is on Google Play.
The Bug is still present.
Is it still their API which makes the loading problem?

ah thanks you remind me this. Bug found in Locus of course and fixed, so in next update, tracks will be correctly "checked" in list

Yes it works, the CheckBox keeps checked and so can be unchecked.
It even works with MyTracks 1.1.16 (which is better than the "new" 2.x).

So at least: thank you :)
