Is there a way to change the color of different trails?

Postby RonFellows on Tue Feb 01, 2011 11:21 am

Is there a way to change the color of different trails in the same guide? It would make the guide much more user friendly if they could see each trail in a different color or line pattern.

I can do this manually, but it is not available in the interface because we want to keep a consistent look to the guides. If you let me know which guide it is, I can change the colors of the tracks.

Thanks Chris.

I understand and agree with the need for consistency. I have three new guides nearly complete with lots of unique trails.
As an example, there are equestrian, mountain bike, and multi-use walking trails that cross each other.
I will take a look at the tracks and see if we can pick out a few that would help the overall presentation.

That would be great. If the trails aren't almost exactly the same, another idea would be to make separate guides targeted at different activities.
