+CacheCreatures Posted February 8, 2004 Share Posted February 8, 2004 So there we are, out there on the trail getting further and further from the car. Not to worry I say, I'll just ensure Mapopolis is creating a breadcrumb trail... its here somewhere... uhh hmmm... It doesn't seem that Mapopolis creates a trail! It routes us to the place to park, it gets us to the cache, but it wont keep track of the trail we made getting to it? Seems odd to me. So am I missing something? I've skimmed all the documentation and haven't found a thing. If Mapopolis wont do it, what do you PDA users out there do instead? Help us not get lost! Quote Link to comment

I've used Mapopolis a ton and have never used the GPS BACKTRACK LOG but it's there. Go to "settings/map features and turn on the GPS TRAIL then make sure your log is turned on. You can then do a play back of the data. I just read that in the HELP file.....Hope that helps.. Other wise you can use your GPSr to do back tracks. And if you have a Magellan like I do, you can put it into simulator mode and run the Mapo program and see the tracks and log it then play it back and do all kinds of things. It's actually rather neat. Edited February 8, 2004 by Rosco Bookbinder Quote Link to comment

Yea well if I didn't spend so much time in front of the computer and going after caches (15 finds in the last 5 days) I wouldn't know so much... Glad to be of help when I can. I've tried to give back as much as I've been given. Turn about is only fair. Quote Link to comment
