6.3 Homogenizing Points of Tracklogs

A small price is paid when using MAP files. Unlike GTM files that allow full edition and register the coordinates with
13 decimal places, the MAP files may present small errors of accuracy that depends how the file was created.
For further information, see Accuracy of MAP Files.
MAP files created with Tracklogs that have big segments united to small segments may present small errors in
polygon such as indicated in the picture below:
Homogenize a Tracklog is the same that divide the big segments into small segments, compatible with the size of
most of the other segments. This process minimizes the errors in Map files.
First select the Tracklogs to homogenize. Then, click on Tools -> Tracklogs and Routes -> Homogenize Points of
Tracklogs .
Tip: before using the Homogenize Tool , try to divide the polygons that have big segments united to small
segments such as indicated in the picture below. For lines, try to separate the big segments from small segments.
Remember that the Homogenize Tool is useful only for MAP files.
