Track style - GPS accuracy : the width change when zoom in or out

Fifi shared this problem 7 years ago
Solved

Hello Menion !


Problem with the track when the style is defined by GPS accuracy. The predefined width of the path in the track settings (for example, in my case width = 400 m) change on the screen when you zoom in or out.


Please Houston, help !


Thank you,


Cheers !

Houston is here ... what about defined units for a tracks? Are there "pixels" or "meters"? ;)

Thanks for your answer Houston. Track folder unit setting is in meter. The track doesn't use the folder setting but its own setting. The track unit setting is also in meter. Any other idea Houston ? ;)

Well and this is the problem! If you define width in metres, then it will always display on screen in these metres, right? So it will be wider when you zoom in and thinner when you zoom out. Compare width of track with a map scale at bottom. Width should always be correctly set to these 400 metres. If you wants a constant, always same, width for tracks, you have to choose pixels.

Well, not a best description to be true.

Something like "track width, defined in metres, remains still same during zooming, when used "By accuracy" style. In normal style it is OK". ;).


Anyway thanks, issue fixed.
