Small things that make difference

Live tracking indicatorSometimes it's the small things that can make a difference. With that in mind we have been busy adding a few small changes around the place that, we think, do make a difference.

Small change no. 1

Live track indicator - it’s now easier to see all live tracks when exploring tracks. The explore page markers now highlights the user’s live location to let you easily follow their progress.

Small change no. 2

Tracks near you - we’ve made the explore page first focus on tracks from your country. We’ve been overwhelmed with the number of users around the world that are using Map My Tracks. However, this meant that the explore page had grown to show the world map at all times and made it difficult to see the tracks and locations. Our solution - switch the the focus of this page to first show tracks near you. At present it zooms to show the tracks in your country . You’re not missing out on any tracks as all the latest tracks are still available in the side bar. Scroll over any one of them and you’ll zoom to the location.

Small change no. 3

Multilingual support - Tracks titles, tags, descriptions and comments all now support language characters from around the world. Yet another small but important change that makes it easier for local languages to be used with personalising track data.

We hope you like the changes and find them useful. As ever, keep your ideas coming. It’s always good to hear them.
