Track log color in Map window

[Aubrey]

Is it possible to change the color of the track log in the Map window?
I don't see an option in Geo & Maps.

If not, perhaps it's possible to change in the map js files, in which file should I look?

Thanks,
Aubrey.

There is no option. What's wrong about the color?
Maybe add a feature request so we can see how many other users would like to change the color the Map Panel uses to visualize track logs?

Making modifications to apps included in IMatch is not a good idea. Your modifications will be wiped out when Windows installs a new IMatch version.

Hi Mario,
For normal use the blue is OK.
However, I'm in the process of preparing a presentation using the track and then cut'n'paste into PowerPoint; red or yellow would be a better color to see on a big projector screen with the overlaid terrain map

My workaround is to drop the gpx file on Google Earth.

Thanks,
Aubrey.

PS: I know that changing a color in the jsx file would get overwritten on the next version.

That's a very specific use case, of course. I think blue works well for the majority of users and a custom color setting is not really needed. We have enough (too many) options already

Agreed!

My original query was simply, had I missed this option... there are so many options!!!

The Map function is terrific, wonderful for geolocating files. Time shifts etc. are easy to use. Looking at the js code it's clear that a tremendous amount of time and work has gone into it. Well done it's most useful.

Thanks. And I had to do everything twice!
Once using OpenLayers for all maps except Google.
And then again for Google, since OpenLayers dropped support for Google due to privacy concerns and licensing issues.
