Comments on: Tracklogs: new version and elevation data problem http://v-g.me.uk/blog/outdoor-news/tracklogs-new-version-and-elevation-data-problem/ Backpacking and wild camping in Britain Thu, 09 Feb 2012 14:13:47 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.2 By: John Y http://v-g.me.uk/blog/outdoor-news/tracklogs-new-version-and-elevation-data-problem/#comment-234 John Y Mon, 20 Aug 2007 13:58:22 +0000 http://v-g.me.uk/blog/outdoor-news/tracklogs-new-version-and-elevation-data-problem/#comment-234 I have found another problem with the new version, where copy/paste of trackpoints results in each of the new points being linked by a new piece of track to the first trackpoint in the original resulting in a right mess. Tracklogs have reproduced the problem and come up with the following workaround: As a quick follow up.. we've identified the problem cause and if you need to workaround this whilst we get the fix out then there is a technique. The bug is that the pasted in trackpoints are being linked to point zero in your existing route (usually the first point you draw or the first point from the GPS). If you locate and delete this point then recreate it you effectively rid the route of a valid point zero so the bug can't incorrectly connect all the pasted points. Fiddly but will get you up and running whilst the full fix is tested.
