Use Cases

Removing GPS Errors

If your track has erroneous points (e.g., GPS drift at the start while waiting for satellite lock), draw a selection around the bad data and delete it.

Isolating a Section

To keep only a specific portion of your track, draw a selection around the area you want to keep and delete everything outside the selection.

Cleaning Up Waypoints

Remove waypoints from areas that are no longer relevant to your route without affecting the track itself.
For more precise track trimming based on distance or time, use the Crop & Split tool instead.
