Editing tracks in Garmin Basecamp involves modifying their shape, points, and details directly on the map or within the track properties.
Modifying Track Points in Basecamp
Garmin Basecamp provides tools to easily adjust your recorded or planned tracks. You can fine-tune a track by adding, moving, or deleting individual points that define its path.
Here are the primary methods for editing track points:
-
Adding New Points:
- To add new points to a specific section of your track, hold down the Alt key on your keyboard.
- While holding Alt, drag a section of the track to reshape it. New points will be inserted along the dragged segment.
-
Moving Existing Points:
- To reposition an existing point on your track, hold down the Alt key on your keyboard.
- While holding Alt, drag the specific point to its new desired location.
-
Deleting Points:
- To remove a point from your track, right-click directly on the point you wish to delete.
- From the context menu that appears, select Delete Track Point.
These operations allow you to correct errors in recorded tracks, refine planned routes, or adjust tracks to match specific terrain or features.
