Different colors for different tracks?

  • I really like this plug-in. I got quite a few tracks now but I’m missing a feature that is really important to me.. I would like to drop 3 to 4 tracks into a single view so people got an idea where I’ve been driven but they are all the same color. I would like to see an option where I can select a color for each track in the view. Mapsource (and maybe basecamp as well) has an option to set the color and the gpx-file will have the color information. WP GPX does not use it. Eg.: https://boxer.gs/2015/07/4-dagen-luxembourg-eiffel/

    And would it be possible to add initial zoomlevel. I always need to zoom in once and then it’s how I like it..

    Anyway – great addon..

  • That would be really great. I could use this to show alternative routes.

    Hi,

    Not very hard to do – Mapsource does this automatically for you (got no experience with Basecamp) but if you don’t have that here is the signature for multiple tracks (and to color the tracks).

    Tracks colors and the metadata xml-node and a.f.a.i.k. garmin related..

    I masked the timestamps and coordinates and removed all but 2 trackspoints since you only need to know how the xml is formed
