Hi Team!
I'm making an assumption this is possible, but can't find a way to get it happening.
If I have a saved track log, how can I show that trail overlayed on the active map screen.
My use case here is, I travel through a complex maze of tracks and find my way through, call it dumb luck. 2 years later I want to follow the same route. So I'd pop open the track log, positions overlayed on main topographic map and use my live position arrow to navigate the saved path.

From what I can tell, I have the tracklog saved, have the off-line maps saved which I can drive around with, showing my current position, can view both independently, but struggling to bring them together.

Anyone know how to solve what I am assuming is my own incompetence, because I'm thinking this should be dead easy.

Cheers.

Hi Paul

Probably the best way to achieve what your asking is to create a folder, place the saved track in the folder and simply highlight that folder (turn it on) via the RHS menu. It will remain on your map until you turn off the folder.
Have a look in help guides, Organising Content.

Dead easy

What TrevorDavid described as the best way .. is in fact the only way I know of.

A thorough understanding of "Folders" is well worth the time.. superb tool for trip planning:

And specifically dealing with Track Logs:

To add a Track Log to a folder:

- Hit the search icon in the top right of the map screen
- Select Track Logs
- Select your desired track log
- Click the folder icon to add it to a folder (can create a folder at the same time)
- Ensure folder is displayed on the map (watch video above) and you'll have your track log shown..
