You can always go back to the settings menu by pressing the "Change your
preferences" tab at the top of the screen and then pressing the "Settings"
icon. Temperature information Distance information GPS Information Look on your GPS to see if you have a Magellan or
Garmin GPS and set the GPS brand to either Magellan or Garmin. This tells
track 'n share which language to speak. Next you will have to
specify which port to use. This can be either a com port or an USB port (see Installing
the GPS if you are unsure which port is used). In case of a Magellan
GPS, you also have the option to specify the baudrate. This is the speed at
which the GPS and the client communicate. A higher setting means
the communication will be faster, but always ensure that the setting
of the client and the GPS are identical. Otherwise, communication is not
possible. For Garmin GPSes, you do cannot specify the bandwidth, hence the
option is greyed out. Background color Photo display size Weather information Wind information Online settings If you select "All information is public" you
will have only one textbox and all information is uploaded for others to see if
you choose to upload. You can choose to use public and private information if
you would like to add stories to your tracks that are personal. Private
information will remain on your computer and will never be
uploaded. YouTube settings Login with your Google account If you want to use your Google account for authentication in YouTube,

will be displayed in the Display Track screen. If you choose "Large" the width
of the photos (and videos) is 640 pixels. Medium is 480 pixels and small is 320
pixels. Photos are automatically resized to match these dimensions. Since videos
cannot be scaled, a popup will show if the video is larger than the display
dimensions. You can click on a link to open the video in an external player.

can be done by selecting custom. You can enter a description and press "Add" to
add a new row. You can use the up/down and delete buttons to change the order or
