Managing tracks
The Covram Dashboard lists every track in a project, and lets you edit, export and delete them. To record a track, see recording a track.
See your tracks
Tracks are drawn on the project map in the Covram Dashboard and the Covram Field App. New tracks are blue unless you change the colour.
To see a list of them in the Covram Dashboard:
- Sign in to the Covram Dashboard in your web browser using your laptop or desktop computer.
- In the sidebar, open your project, then click
Tracked Locations.
The list shows these columns:
| Column | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Label | The name you gave the track, or — if you didn't give it one. |
| Created | When the track was saved. |
| User | The person who recorded it. This shows their name, or their email address if they have no name. |
| Duration | How long the track took, for example 12m 30s. |
| Distance (m) | The length of the track in metres. |
The list also includes tracks made with the Road and Track activity. A track you draw by hand has no duration.
Click a column heading to sort by it. To find a track, type in the Filter... box above the list.
Change a track
Each row has three buttons:
- Center on map opens the project map zoomed in on the track.
- Edit details lets you change the
Labeland theTrack color. ClickSavewhen you are done. - Delete tracked location removes the track from the project. You will be asked to confirm, and it can't be undone.
Export tracks
- Tick the tracks you want in the list.
- Click
Export as Layer.
Covram downloads a GeoJSON file named after your project, ending _tracked_locations.geojson. Each track is a line, with its label, date, duration and distance attached. You can open the file in GIS software such as QGIS or ArcGIS.
Working offline
When you download a project for offline use, its tracks are downloaded with it.
