Merging tracks in BaseCamp
I'm trying to merge two traces in BaseCamp. The program connects the far ends instead of the nearest ones. I've connected the tracks before and there was no such problem. I will add that the tracks are in the same direction. I don't know how to make them connect where I want. Program version 4.7.4

Re: Merging tracks in BaseCamp
you have to select the direction and also which track goes before and which track goes after
See GPSrChive > BaseCamp > Tracks > Join Tracks.

Doesn't work.
There is no such menu and functions as in the manual.

Re: Merging tracks in BaseCamp
The instructions show that we select the advanced option from the context menu (step 4. Right-click).
This option is not available in the context menu.
The "Ctrl" button also doesn't work for selecting tracks.
"Shift" is the right one.
"Advanced > Join the Selected Tracks" They are in the "Edit" menu.

Re: Merging tracks in BaseCamp
It certainly is. Most BaseCamp users can find it without any trouble.
Again, for most BaseCamp users, it works just fine.
We are trying to help you determine why you are unable to use this feature.
You never said which version of BaseCamp you are using....

See the first post of this topic .
Program version 4.7.4
All in all, my problem is solved and I can connect traces. In a different way, but I can.

Re: Merging tracks in BaseCamp
We are happy you were able to find a solution, however...
Using the [Shift] and/or [Ctrl] keys when selecting data in BaseCamp serve two entirely different purposes. These features are not unique to BaseCamp. These features are standard Micro$oft Windows operating system functions.

- Holding [Shift] and left clicking any two data items will cause all items between them to be highlighted.
- Holding [Ctrl] and left clicking any number of data items will only cause the selected items to be highlighted.
