Changing mode of transport for part of a patrol in Desktop

Hi, we sometimes have issues where a SMART Mobile user forgets to change the mode of transport. I have tried to edit the patrol in Desktop by converting the patrol to a multileg patrol, and then selecting the change of transport option, using the time that I can see the speed changed. It all works except it does not record the distance covered, the new leg just shows 0km.

Any suggestions on how I can split the patrol and change the mode of transport for the one leg whilst retaining the distance covered for that leg?

Hi Mathilde,

Thanks for your message on this. I believe this is currently a limitation of the software. It’s not able to port over & split the track from one leg to another.

The only simple solution currently is to use the “generate from waypoints” option to set the track for the newly created leg, if you have sufficient observations.

If you have a backup of the GPX file from a GPS device you may be able to import this and then use the option to view trackpoints > split > delete the track points for the irrelevant leg of the patrol. **

I appreciate these are not the best solutions.

I will create a ticket for this as this would be good to keep in mind for future development needs.

Cheers,

Alex
