To split the active log track, check the box next to it, then click the Split button if you have “Ask for name of tracks …” selected, you’ll be prompted for a name, “test_split” in this case: You will normally want to have the “Delete source track” option checked, as otherwise the final set of GPX tracks will include your original large track, defeating the purpose. The “Make firts (sic) point equal …” option insures that the track segments will overlap on your GPS display, even when you’re zoomed in to the closest view. The default track subset size is 500 points, which is max size for most Garmin units, but you can adjust it up or down for other units. In this case, the active log had over 5000 points, so simplification would have cut over 90% of the points out. Then start up GPX Track Splitter, and load in the active track GPX file:

But if you absolutely have to preserve all the points, there’s another option GPX Track Splitter lets you chop a track with more than 500 points into a set of smaller tracks that come in under this limit, but which preserve all the points.ĭownload the active track from your GPS with the software of your choice (like GPS TrackMaker or EasyGPS), and save it as a GPX file.
One option is to simplify the track yourself with GPS Trackmaker’s Tracklog Reducer, which also drops points but gives you some control over the degree of simplification.
But if you save an active track with more than 500 points, the unit will automatically simplify the track to a maximum of 500 points, dropping what it considers to be redundant or unnecessary points you have no control over which points get dropped by the unit. Some GPS models, such as most Garmin handheld units, allow you to record up to 10,000 points as the active track.
