VIEWING TRIP DATA
IS THIS STILL CORRECT INFO? THE URL DOES NOT POPULATE
After recording at least one trip, connecting the Back Track Mini to your computer will enable you to see the path you took on any of the four types
of map, view a trip data graph, and share your trip via email or social media. To get the software:
• Go to http://backtrackdtour.com/, follow the directions to create an account (free), register your Back Track Mini, and download the software
app (Fig. 13, next pg.). Your account provides online backup for all your trip data. After registering, click "Download Now" on the screen, then
select "Open". A link to download the software will also be provided in your confirmation email. Turn on the Back Track Mini and connect its
USB port to your computer with the supplied USB cable. On Windows® PCs, the app should open automatically (if not, click the desktop icon
(Fig. 15)). On Mac®, double click the "Back Track Mini" icon in your Applications folder to launch the application.
• Enter the User Name (email address) and password you used when setting up your account, then select "LOGIN" (Fig. 16). This will enable all
your trip data stored within your online account to be automatically backed up and accessible to you from any computer.
•
USING THE Back Track Mini APP (Fig. 17)
• After the Back Track Mini app opens, you will see one or more gray folders on the left (a) below "My Downloaded Tracks", each labeled with a
date. Each folder contains information on the trips taken in a 24 hour period.
• Click the folder to open it and view the individual trips (b) you made on that date (the duration of each trip is based on the time elapsed
between the starting and stopping of a new trip recording when you held down the TRIP button).
• The route you traveled for each trip is shown as a colored line (c) on a map. Four types of maps are available-click on the name of a map type
(d) to change the view:
MAP-a "road map" style view, complete with road names.
SATELLITE-an aerial photo of the area.
HYBRID-a combination of the first two maps.
TERRAIN-this is a topographic map showing elevation data for the area.
• The zoom slider and position arrow pad allow you to zoom in/out and move around on the map (e).
• Click on the name of a trip to highlight it on the map. You can hide any trip by clicking on the "eye" icon next to its name (f).
• To change the name of a folder (from the default date to something like "Canyon Trip Day 1"), right-click on its name. You can also right-click
on a trip within the folder to rename it.
USING THE Back Track Mini APP (Fig. 18)
• Clicking on the "handle" (g) at the bottom center of the map screen will open a popup graph displaying the trip's altitude, temperature, and
speed data. You can use the pull-downs (h) to change how the data is displayed. This feature is ideal for runners and bikers that want to track
their performance on an exercise course over time.
• Click the plus (+) icon on the bottom left (i) to create a new folder. Existing trips can be dragged from their original folder into the new one.
• To delete a trip or trips folder, drag it to the trash icon (j).
• If you'd like to share the details of your trips, we've made it easy. Just click "Export Current Map" (k) and select a save or share option.
• The "Save As" option allows you to export the current map view as a .jpg photo.
• When you have finished using the Back Track Mini application, you don't need to log out. Instead, close the application (l). Your trip data is
automatically saved in your account.
USING THE Back Track Mini APP ON OTHER COMPUTERS
If you want to access your Back Track Mini trip information from another computer, no need to create a new account. Instead, log in to your
account at http://backtrackdtour.com, click on the download link, and install the app.
LOGIN/CHANGE PASSWORD
If you log out of the Back Track Mini application, you will be prompted to log in again the next time you launch the application. If you forget your
password or want to change it, you may click on the "Forgot Password?" link on the application log in screen (Fig. 19). You may also change your
password after logging in to your existing account at http://backtrackdtour.com. Next, click "My Profile" in the menu at the top of the screen (Fig.
