How to split a route?

[Jonw9]

I have loaded a Garmin .gdb file, a route, and need to split it into two routes.
How can I do that?

Select a position, open the context menu with the right mouse button, select "Split positionlist".

Hi,

this is quite easy.

• Load your *.gdb file
  
• Left-mouse-click at the line that you want as first line of a new position list
  
• Right-mouse-click to enter the context menu
  
• Select Split Position List in the context Menu
  
• Repeat as often as you like and save the result under a new filename
  

You can switch between the position lists (still in one file!) in the popup menu at the top right hand side.

If you like to split into different files, some more work is necessary: Delete all position lists (there is a button) except one, save it as file #1. Re-load the file with all splitted lists and repeat deleting to create a file #2 and so on...

Greetings,
Mathew

Thank you. It's very hard to find a position relative to the map; RouteConverter only shows position number and LatLong, and Garmin Mapsource doesn't show either of those.

Eventually I was able to do as you suggested, thanks. It's really demanding software - my rather new Win7 PC with 8 GB of RAM takes minutes to load it...

I've limited the memory to 256 MB - how much data do you want to load?

My file has 267 "positions" - and about 12 waypoints. But it still takes over 5 minutes to load and open. By far the slowest program I've ever run!

This takes typically 500ms on my machine. Please help me analyzing what the problem is. Can you send me the file? And the log output (see FAQ for details how to find it)?

I'd be happy to; is there a way to attach files to a post? Or you could email me privately at xxx@xxx.xxx and I will reply.

Yes, the forum accepts JPEG, PNG, GIF and ZIP. So if you ZIP the files you'd like to attach that should work.

Will do. I've removed your email address to protect you from spam.
