Contact GPS Tracks Support

I chose this over similar better known apps like Gaia and All Trails because it supposedly collects less data but it’s frustrating to use and has essentially no documentation. For example if you recall a previously completed track on the map there’s no obvious way to get rid of it to start a new track. The app assumes you want to continue and resume the old track even if it’s days later. Then you’re given the choice to save or delete the track you only wanted to view. If you click save it creates a duplicate of the already saved track. Most are not going to click delete for fear of losing their previously saved track. This is a classic example of a competent developer designing an app that works for his needs but isn’t very user friendly to others. Various functions are scattered all over the place with some under obscure icons. A nice simple single hierarchical menu structure would be much better and more intuitive.

This is a great app. I live in Manaus Brazil and use it in the largest remaining urban green space within the limits of this sprawling city . The area is the Reserva UFAM. The Federal University of Amazonas Forest Reserve. I’ve yet to use it on expeditions we take in the interior of the State far from internet access. I have two concerns at the moment: 1) Hiding and / or deleting waypoint names from the map is problematic. Also, there is no option for reducing font size of the track and waypoint names. Both of these issues are problematic as they result in superimposed words on the track which I can’t see very well especially when I include multiple waypoints. On a zoom all one can see are huge words . Am I missing an option in settings or is there an issue with deleting waypoints for good without having to delete the whole track? Signed Charles

UPDATE: Developer contacted me and was able to provide a solution to the Dropbox issue. Initial tests look good. For that reason I have changed my rating! I was very hopeful that I had found the solution I was looking for. I needed a way to geotag photos taken on location. I needed this app to upload GPX files to Dropbox. That is where it has failed. Apparently the link to Dropbox is no longer valid. I contacted the developer a few days ago, but no reply. I would not mind using iCloud sync with the desktop app, but not going to pay more money for the desktop version if I can’t get the features I already paid for to work. I guess the search continues!
