Set name of track during upload

Postby cr@ss on Mon Apr 09, 2012 10:57 am

When uploading NMEA gps data the track name is set to the file name, but if the same file is uploaded again, then some numbers (probably an attempt at a unique id with some time data in it). That unique name should at least contain the name of the file in it. But even better, there should be an optional field for specifying the name of the track on upload. The name of a track can be edited from the map edit page, but that's not obvious.

The track name isn't really displayed anywhere except in your my tracks page, which is why we don't pay too much attention to it (compared to the trip name). If you go to http://www.everytrail.com/my_tracks.php you can see your tracks and edit the details.
