Step 6Find your way around in Trackstick Manager - part 2
Now that we're done with the Trackstick settings options, let's continue with the program's options in the Tools sections.
General tab
Default directory - Lets your choose where to save your files when you download data from the Trackstick. Change the path if you don't like where it points.
Downloading - This is where you tell the program what to do when it detects a Trackstick.
Preferences - Dictates the behaviour of the Trackstick Manager.
Updates - Software updates options.
Startup - Decide whether or not you want the program to start on Windows startup. Moving on !
Locations
This is where you'll find a load of options to setup your Trackstick data - time, coordinates, temperature,speed...Go around and experiment, you're not going to hurt your device by changing things in this menu.
Time zone
This is where you're going to adjust your Trackstick's time data. As you can see, the first option "As recorded" lets you stick to the time when the data was recorded on the Trackstick. To give you an example, if you previously set the stick to record data according to the place where you live, traveling to another country won't adjust the time when the data was captured. On the other hand, chosing the Specific Time Zone option will allow the software to do the necessary calculation and figure out when, according to the timezone chosen in the software, the data was recorded.
Photos
A very interesting tab ! Let's take a closer look.
Location matching - Trackstick Manager lets you associate pictures with your Trackstick data, based on the timestamps of the pictures. This is where you adjust the delay within which a picture must be associated to a point on your data.
Google Earth - Speaking of pictures, you can decide to associate pictures with the Trackstick data when you export it as Google Earth data. You can also decide to Trackstick data to pictures on your computer - meaning that pictures will only show up on your computer.
Flickr - Specify a Flickr username and password to upload the images you'll associate with the GPS data to your account : the GPS data will be available over there as well.
Trackstick watermark - Want a nice Trackstick watermark on your pictures. Me neither. You can deactivate that option here, or eventually move the watermark around.
Once again, I'll leave the "'Advanced'" tab out of focus. The Help file is there to help you with whatever change you'd like to make there, so don't forget to RTFM if you're going to do anything there !
