Hello,

if I create a atlas, the gpx track is not visible. Did I make something wrong or is it not possible to store gpx tracks in an atlas.

Thanks in advance

Tom

If you are referring to TrekBuddy Atlas Creator the GPX track is a separate file which has to be loaded before or after loading an atlas.
"Integration" (means painting points and lines) of GPX into an atlas is not planned.

tom6302, you can reach that with OziExplorer.
Use the latest development version. It should be registered.
Open an OziExplorer map (for example created by TrekBuddy Atlas Creator), open GPX tracks, choose File -> Save Map to Image File.
Set the checkbox [x] Create map file in the dialog box.
the result is OziExplorer map with tracks, embedded on the map image.

You can then use some TrekBuddy atlas creation tool, such as TBCutter or TBMapper to create TrekBuddy atlas from OziExplorer map.

This is good to know. My main use case for TrekBuddy Atlas Creator was to take Google maps that have my tracks on them and make them available as an Atlas in TB. It looks like now that is not possible with TAC.

I have been able to put GPX in TB, but the problem is that tracks show up as individual waypoints with their names. This is very cluttered. I want it to show up as a polyline, but can't seem to get TB to do this.
