Mass Changing Of Track Colors In Mapsource

[GeoBobC]

Now that Garmin has (finally) added back the capability to manage track colors in Mapsource, I am looking for a way to change the color of a large number of tracks at once such as "find/replace". It does not appear that Mapsource has that capability. I "saved as" the tracks into a GPX file; that file did not appear to have track color. I also "saved as" an MPS file and used GPS Babel to convert it to GPX, but alas it did not have the track color either. I'm thinking that track color is a characteristic that is unique to Garmin, and is only saved in their proprietary file formats.

 

Anyone have an idea?

In Expert GPS you can change the track color ,style, etc. those properties can be changed "in mass" for several at a time, editing in the tracklist.

However, don't know if the color properties are changed outside of Mapsource and then re-imported if the new "desired" color would be retained.

May be controlled by what Mapsource is set on when tracks are imported.

Thanks; that sounds like a good option to research. Since the present Mapsource is beta, I'm hoping that Garmin adds that capability in the final version. Unlikely but possible.
