6.26 Routes & Tracks
(MAIN MENU → Settings → Routes & Tracks)
This screen contains the configurations for route
and track simplification degree. This is an algorithm
that the device uses to remove the many needless
waypoints from a track when converted to a route.
By default this is set to '005' which should be fine
in most cases. In this setting, the algorithm will
check to see how many waypoints can be removed
in every 5 meter length of the track without losing
the shape of the track. If you are finding too many
straight lines in routes created from tracks, you can
lower the simplifcation degree. Or if there are too
many waypoints, increase the simplication degree.
Alternatively, change the simplification degree to
'000' to turn it off and not remove waypoints. You will
find routes that have not been simplified slow to load
and may cause freezing on the device.
