track 'n share help

- Adventure Editor

The trip editor screen will allow you to add an overall story of a trip. The Track Editor will allow you to add stories specific to a track.

When you open a adventure or you are adding a new adventure you can get the following dialog when the Adventure editor is started:

Since version 2.0, track 'n share autmatically detects the country or countries you have visited in this adventure. When you choose yes, the flags of the countries you have visited will be shown at the top of the Adventure editor and in the "Select Adventure" screen. As you can see, the adventure below was situated in Australia.

The "Edit text" screen contains a number of text fields where you can add your stories. At the top it the title of the trip. The start and enddates are automatically derived from the trackdata but of course you can manually change them. The next two large fields are public and private information. If you have chosen "All information is public" in the Settings screen, you will see only a public textbox here. The top (public) textbox can be used to enter any stories that you would like to share if you chose to upload in Step 3 of the wizard. Enter text you would like to keep to your own in the lower textbox. This text will remain on your computer and will never be shared with anybody else. You will have a number of options to add formatting to your stories (in the order shown on screen):

  • Font type
  • Text size
  • Text color
  • Bold text
  • Italic text
  • Underline text
  • Strikethrough
  • Left align
  • Centered align
  • Right align
  • Undo
  • Redo
  • Cut
  • Copy
  • Paste
