View NMEA Data Log
The View NMEA Data Log command will display the NMEA GPS Logging dialog (pictured below). This
dialog displays a list of recently received NMEA sentences when tracking a connected GPS device in NMEA
mode. This is a useful diagnostic tool and also allows you to save received NMEA data to a file for later
playback.
Clear Tracklog
If you are currently recording a tracklog of where your GPS device has been, the Clear Tracklog command
will clear whatever is currently recorded that has not yet been saved using the Save Tracklog command.
Record Tracklog
The Record Tracklog command controls whether or not a bread-crumb trail (i.e. tracklog) will be recorded to
log where the GPS device has traveled. This tracklog can be saved to any of the supported vector export
formats. The drawing style of the tracklog can be configured on the Line Styles tab of the Configuration
dialog.
Save Tracklog
Global Mapper User's Manual
The Save Tracklog command will save the currently record tracklog to a permanent line feature. When
selected, this command will display a dialog allowing you to specify any additional desired attributes and/or
drawing styles that you would like to associate with the tracklog. In addition, any extraneous points that do
not contribute to the shape of the tracklog will be automatically removed to save space.
