Ability to copy tracks to can create a variation of a track

Post by lokout »

Would really love the ability to copy a track, or it's POI's to a new track, so that I can create just a small variation of that track, without having to re-create all the POI's again

In case you have no laps recorded for the original track set (e.g. "TRACK"), just rename it to "TRACK MYCONFIG" using Lap List ‣ scroll to bottom ‣ press Manage List
Renaming a track set makes it an distinct one. Changing any POI will not change the original track set any more.

In case you have have laps recorded already you want to keep with TRACK, please go through the following steps:
- Rename "TRACK" to "TRACK SAVE" (see above)
- Remove the POIs from "TRACK SAVE" (swipe the "POIs+Triggers" row in Lap List - just below "TRACK SAVE")
- Load "TRACK" from the Tracks / Add-ons tab as usual
- Rename "TRACK" to "TRACK MYCONFIG" (see above)
- Rename "TRACK SAVE" back to "TRACK"

Thankyou yes, that is a good solution. I didn't think of that. I didn't want to upload my track at first because it is from my house to work that I drive every day, but I see that if I upload it, then I can easily do this as you described.

Thanks

You do not need to upload / certify a track set to reload it... Just "certify" your track and instead sending it to me, send it to yourself. The track set gets attached to a mail,you can open and import back to LT any time.

Just confirming that I did this successfully do this and it worked great!
Thanks for that! I also now have backups in email of the POIs from doing it this way, so am very happy.

Cheers

Thx for the feedback. That is indeed a good mechanism for local backups too.
