Reverse a track

Can you add functionality to reverse a track ?

I know that locus can navigate in a reverse sense but it would be interresting to reverse definitly a track.

Thx,
Chris

hi Kriss,
you mean a voice navigation? I was thinking about it but problem for me are roundabouts. I have no idea how to compute number at which turn right from roundabout in opposite direction. Because of this, reverse navigation is not possible ... now

Is the problem really with roundabouts?
Maybe I overlook something but if a roundabout has e exits, in the forward direction you take the f'th exit, then you should take the r=e-f exit.

I think there are much more problems with one-way roads, highways etc. which would possibly result in really dangerous navigation instructions (e.g. take the exit of a highway when you want to enter it).
Anyway, I think a real reverse navigation is almost impossible to achieve with the informations from the original direction only.

Hi Menion thanks for replying.

Sorry for the explanation but to clarify my demand it is about guiding on track segment and track point (not in a car but hicking).

When we import a .gpx or we create a .gpx it is defined from a starting point A to B.

My demand is to be able to modify this track to reverse it be from B to A when we are in the tracks screen.

Regards,
Chris

Hmm you're of course right Tommy, first think (and as you see also last) I was thinking about was roundabouts :), and because I don't know total number of exits, it's not possible to compute exit in oposite direction.

And Kriss, if you want just this, tap on track on map and press "Guide on reverse". Is this what you're looking for?

EDIT: sorry sorry, my mistake. You already know this feature, but you want to reverse all stats etc. thanks to reversing order of points in database. understand ...

Hi Menion yes I just want to reverse the sens of a trackseg.

Sometimes I download some gpx with trackseg and I know I will follow this trackseg in the reverse order.
I think it me must be interresting to reverse this track inside the Locus app.

And if the track got timestamp data in it is not important to conserve it.

For example:

A track like this one:




  <trk>


    <trkseg>


                  <trkpt lat="X1" lon="Y1" />


                  <trkpt lat="X2" lon="Y2" />


	  <trkpt lat="X3" lon="Y3" />


	  <trkpt lat="X4" lon="Y4" />


	  <trkpt lat="X5" lon="Y5" />


    </trkseg>


  </trk>

will become like this after reversing it .




  <trk>


    <trkseg>


                  <trkpt lat="X5" lon="Y5" />


	  <trkpt lat="X4" lon="Y4" />


	  <trkpt lat="X3" lon="Y3" />


	  <trkpt lat="X2" lon="Y2" />


	  <trkpt lat="X1" lon="Y1" />


    </trkseg>


  </trk>

I think this is the way like it works when we reverse a trkseg ?

Thxs

currently no, sorry.

For simple guiding, there already exists guiding in reverse order. This question is about ability to reverse statistics and order of points in charts etc ... because I currently not see big usage in this feature and also number of votes don't say, it's really "wanted" feature, I'm not planning to do it right now

Hi Menion and all you guys.
I have the same problem; I'll try to explain my experience about this point.
I imported a lot of tracks from this site: http://www.dolomitipark.it/it/sentier....
They are touristic itineraries in the Dolomiti Park, Belluno, Italy. Unfortunately they are incredibly fragmented and, that's the real point, they run sometimes in one direction sometimes in the other. It's impossible to join such tracks together. First of all they have to match the same direction: the first step is to reverse many of them.
I found a tool online that do this job, but I'm forced to export my (many) tracks one at a time, upload online, reverse, dowload and finally (!) import in Locus: five steps per track! If I could to do this inside Locus...
Thanks for your attention.
