| + | ===== Track & Route Map Label ===== | ||
| + | {{ : | ||
| + | After tapping any part of a track on the map a label appears. It contains the track name, number of tapped trackpoint, distance to start, distance to finish, altitude and +/- elevation gain. There is also {{: | ||

| + | Tapping the track label or track line in the Manager launches the Track Detail Screen: | ||
| + | ===== Track & Route Detail Screen ===== | ||
| + | {{ : | ||
| + | The track/route detail screen is divided into a few sections: | ||
| + | * **top panel** with the track name | ||
| + | * **information tab** that contains: | ||
| + | * //map preview// of the track. Tapping it switches into the map screen covering area of the track. The map preview can be switched off by tapping an arrow in the bottom right corner. | ||
| + | * date of creation, distance, time of activity | ||
| + | * //track activity// - selected manually before track recording or not specified (biking, hiking, running etc.). Important for overall statistics. | ||

| + | * **chart tab** - displays track chart. According to chart setting it can be elevation profile, speed profile etc. \\ {{ : | ||
| + | * {{: | ||
| + | Default values are X - distance, Y1 - altitude, Y2 - empty. When the track is imported or drawn on a map without elevation data, the chart is empty. | ||

| + | * {{: | ||
| + | * {{: | ||
| + | * **waypoints tab** - a list of waypoints on the track/ | ||

| + | ==== Track/route analyzer ==== | ||
| + | When you need to know **statistics and charts of a particular part of the track or route**, open the track in this tool. It's available in the **tool menu**:\\ {{ : | ||
| + | * **tap the track** on the place from which you want to define the span | ||
| + | * tap the **other point of the span**. You can repeat this step and **change the span definition**. | ||

| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | ===== Track & Route Style ===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | Each track/route in Locus has its color, pattern, width and other parameters. These parameters can be set in several levels: | ||
| + | ==== Global style ==== | ||
| + | |||
| + | **Default appearance of all tracks and routes across the app** can be edited in //Settings > Points & Tracks > Track line style//\\ {{ : | ||
| + | ==== Folder style ==== | ||
| + | |||
| + | Tracks and routes stored in a folder in the Track/route manager can have **unified style settings**. These settings can be edited in the folder **action menu**:\\ {{ : | ||
| + | ==== Individual style ==== | ||
| + | |||
| + | Style of individual tracks or routes can be edited in the track/route detail screen edit dialog:\\ {{ : | ||
| + | |||
| + | It is possible to **change individual style of multiple tracks/ | ||
| + | * open a folder with tracks/ | ||
| + | * multi-select tracks for editing | ||
| + | * tap the tool menu from the bottom bar and select {{: | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==== Track recording profile style ==== | ||
| + | |||
| + | Style of recorded tracks can be set according to used **[[manual: | ||
| + | <WRAP center round tip> | ||
| + | By default, recording profile style is overwritten by style of the folder where you store your recorded tracks. If you want to **maintain the profile style**, follow these steps: | ||
| + | </ | ||
| + | - tap the style line in the track-saving dialog when you stop a track recording: | ||
| + | - switch off "//Use style of the folder//" | ||
| + | |||
| + | Next time you will record track in this profile the style will be maintained and not overdrawn by the folder style. | ||
| + | ==== Route planner style ==== | ||
| + | Option of styling route lines is useful for example when you need to **[[manual: | ||
| + | **Route planner route style is overdrawn by style of the folder you save your route into.** | ||

| + | **Track/ | ||
| + | </ | ||
| + | ===== Style Editor ===== | ||
| + | **All buttons editing style on all levels - global, folder, individual or track recording profile - lead here:**\\ {{ : | ||
| + | In order to differentiate among your routes and tracks or adjust their appearance according to used map you have vast options of styling them - you can adjust the line **color** (1), **width** (4) and **outline** (6), add **pattern** (2) from a great selection, color the pattern, set **coloring mode** (3 - plain color or some of dynamic coloring modes according to speed, elevation etc.) or automatically close the line and **fill the space** with color (7). | ||
| + | ==== Line ==== | ||
| + | Line **(1)** can be colored in **basic** mode,\\ {{ : | ||
| + | **advanced** mode with option to pick any of colors provided by your device,\\ {{ : | ||
| + | Its opacity can be adjusted from 100% to invisibility 0%\\ {{ : | ||
| + | or the line color can be switched off - only its pattern is visible:\\ {{ : | ||
| + | ==== Pattern ==== | ||
| + | Pattern **(2)** has the same coloring options as the line - **basic, advanced and code**, see above. If you do not want to have patterned line, just **uncheck the pattern**: | ||
| + | |||
| + | You can select from a vast array of patterns including **arrows and crosses**: | ||
| + | ==== Coloring mode ==== | ||
| + | The track/route line can be colored **(3)** by **plain color**\\ {{ : | ||
| + | or dynamically - by **speed, change of speed, altitude, slope, GPS accuracy, heart rate or pedaling cadence**\\ {{ : | ||
| + | If you select a dynamic mode and switch line color off, the **pattern is colored dynamically**: | ||
| + | If you want to color only a certain range of altitude or slope angle you can define it manually:\\ {{ : | ||
| + | ==== Width ==== | ||
| + | Width **(4)** of the track line can be set in **pixels** (screen related) or **meters** (real world related)**(5)**: | ||
| + | ==== Outline ==== | ||
| + | To **enhance contrast** of the line from the background map, you can add an outline **(6)**. Coloring options are the same as for the line and pattern.\\ {{ : | ||
| + | ==== Close and fill with color ==== | ||
| + | Quite a special feature for highlighting areas enclosed by a track/route **(7)**.\\ {{ : | ||
