TrackMapOptions / ViewOptionsTab

View options:

Map Colour Based On – Gives a colour representation on the displayed maps of the variation between the maximum and minimum values of the variable selected. The limits will be automatically set up on the data selected. Use the adjacent drop down menu to select which data set you wish to analyse.

Display G Force Vectors – This option shows a graphical representation of the longitudinal and latitudinal acceleration for the vehicle. This is initially selected, acceleration is displayed as a vector tangential to the course, trailing from the point to show positive acceleration and leading the point to show negative acceleration (braking). The vectors that appear normal to the course show the latitudinal force, indicating the weight shift on the vehicle.

Reverse G Force Vectors Display – Inverts the direction the vectors described above are displayed.

Offset individual maps – For when multiple plots are selected (see below), this option offsets each plot by a small amount to allow easier comparison of different runs, laps or sectors.

Use thick lines for mapping – Doubles the thickness of the plots. Useful when looking at several laps in one run to make the course layout clearer.

Enable dynamic zooming – A presentation option which shows smooth transitions when zooming in or out using the buttons, or through the area selection tool. This option is disabled when maps are offset.

Max Accuracy/Fast Redraw

The slider between “Max Accuracy” and “Fast Redraw” allows you to prioritise how detailed the plots are displayed when updated during playback.

Increasing the accuracy will produce the best quality track maps with smooth corners. Whilst the track map accuracy is improved, the mathematics involved to process the GPS data into a track map is quite complex and increase the time taken to redraw the track map. Moving the slider towards the right side( Fast redraw) reduced the redrawing time, however smoothness of the track map will be reduced.

Download map as background – literally does what it says - it allows you to download a map or aerial photograph from the net and use it as the background for your trackmap: see the example below:
