geopony99 Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 I made some tracks with my 60CSX and uploaded them with Mapsource. I want to display them on the TOPO 2008 map with a thin line instead of the thick line and dots that they are now, then print them out as a map. Is there any way to convert these tracks to thinner lines? Quote Link to comment
+Chuy! Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 To my knowledge you can not make any adjusments to the track lines other than the color properties. If you install Google Earth, MapSource will interface with it and there you can get rid of the dots and adjust the width properties. Quote Link to comment

+DustyWalker Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 If you change the track color to transparent you will have a thin black line rather than a wider colored line. Quote Link to comment

Thanks, that worked. Is there a way to get rid of the track dots? I am trying to create a map of logging roads and ATV trails, and would like to get different trail colors also if possible.

Orion84 Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 Maybe you could try to use another application for building the map? OziExplorer for instance does draw tracks as thin (colored) lines. The only problem will then be that it might be a bit tricky to load the garmin maps in any other software then MapSource. But maybe you can find some software that supports garmin maps and the desired track display style Quote Link to comment

Jim Interfacing with Google Earth: Open MapSource-View-View in Google Earth (All the waypoints and tracks will automatically "dump" into G-E.) Rid of dots in Google Earth: The tracks that get dumped into G-E from MapSource are put in two separate folders, Points and Path. Unselect the Points folder to rid of the dots. To change the track properties in G-E: right-click the track in the Path folder. Quote Link to comment
