Two things:
1. I have made a trek from North coast NSW to Coastal SA.
36 Towns entered using crosshairs and pin saved to a folder and made to a trek.
The town of
Orange has a blue flashing arrow not included in the trek but interferes with kilometres and
Orange may be there from me playing and getting to know how to operate the app.
How can I delete
Orange?
2. How do I get this trek from the desktop app. to my travelling device (iPad)?
I'm bald and cannot pull anymore hair out.

Can't help you with the
Orange problem, sorry. I have not seen the blue arrow and if
Orange is not in the nav list then I don't know what is going on to make the behaviour you have described.
2. In the app on the iPad, click the map layers icon top right (folded map). Scroll down to
Treks and
check the box. If you have many
treks they will all be displayed but at least you'll get the one you want.
ALternatively, on the iPad in the map layers tool, scroll down to folders and uncheck it. Tap the word " None" to display the folders list. Tap the folder where the trek is stored to highlight it. Tap Apply. This will display only the trek(s) in that folder. Others not in the folder won't be displayed.
I haven't done much of this folder stuff but this is how I think it works. User Trevor David may be able to help more, and Michelle, of course.

Hi Frank
I shut down the opera browser and restarted it and the '
Orange' location with a pulsing blue arrow has disappeared. My start location with a pulsing blue arrow is now correct and kilometers have been readjusted.
I thought the data transfer from the desktop to iPad was done directly but it appears the data goes to David's computer and back to my iPad. I think?

Hi Pinko
Do a
places &
Treks update on your iPad
To delete
Orange you would need to delete the Trek, (Trek only not the waypoints), find the
Orange waypoint & delete it, then link up the other waypoints back into a Trek.
You don’t actually need to have the Trek in a folder. Can if you wish. Go to the search tab top right hand corner,
Treks, Personal and it should be there.
Regards
TrevorDavid

"I thought the data transfer from the desktop to iPad was done directly but it appears the data goes to David's computer and back to my iPad. I think?"
Hi Pinko,
Yes, you've worked it out. If you create a personal Trek or Place on a desktop computer and save it, it is saved in your account on EO's servers. That is why, as TrevorDavid said, you need to do a
Places and
Treks update on your iPad (and to all other devices that might be running Traveller. (I failed to mention that). That update copies your newly created Place or Trek to your other devices.
Cheers

Hi TD,
I think Pinko has sorted his issue, but as an aside....
"To delete
Orange you would need to delete the Trek, (Trek only not the waypoints), find the
Orange waypoint & delete it,"
If
Orange was an unwanted waypoint in the Trek, rather than deleting the trek and re-creating it I think he could load the trek into nav (select the trek and Goto), then in the nav panel left swipe
Orange, tap/click the garbage can and Save.
There is so much in V7 of this app, I am still learning. Not enough travelling (pardon the pun!) is my problem :-(
Cheers

I think the '
Orange' and pulsing Blue arrow he was refering to was the Pink geofence and position arrow NOT
Orange the Town.

Thank you all for your information, I think I am sorted now.
I went to the you tube navigation tutorial where my waypoints are listed of my trek with a plane icon (straight line) I overlooked the left swipe and press the green nav button to convert each waypoint to driving mode and of coarse this changes kilometres as
well.
However over 2000 kms the ipad kilometres do not exactly match the hema map book. I'll see how it goes in practice.
Thanks again
