- Displaying the track

The "Display trip" screen shows the track and the photos along the way. It should look like this:

Here you can see the tracks on the left. Note that we have currently only selected the first track, which means only the area around Alice Springs is visible. Hold CTRL and click "27-DEC-2007". This will select both tracks. Note that more photos are added to the bar on the left.

Click on the video in the list of screenshots on the left (in the application of course!). The map will move to the location the photo was taken and the video is played automatically. When you move your mouse over the thumbnails on the left, notice the pin color will change to red (). This allows  you to see easily where the photo was taken. Alternatively, you can click on any pin to show the photo or play the video.

If you want to zoom the map, use the mouse scroll wheel or the zoom control on the left (just next to the photos). Alternatively you can use the drag zoom control.

Using the "Drag Zoom"

A new feature in the 1.1 client is the dragzoom control . To activate the drag zoom control, click on the button. You will notice the button is colored yellow and the cursor changes to a cross-hair. You can now draw a square on the map and the map is automatically zoomed to the area you selected. You can repeat drawing square until you have reached the zoomlevel you need. When you are done, press the button again. When you have deactivated the zoom control, notice there is another button . When you click this button, the map is restored to a previous zoom position.

All right, looks like a nice trip! Next we can upload the trip and share the experience with others!
