-Known issues:
-
-* Sometimes artificial track lines are visible. Work around: No suitable solution available yet, try another zoom or pan view.
-* Map tiles are currently not checked for updates. Use an explorer of the local file system to delete map tiles in the maps directory if they are out of date. The map directory is usually located in the same directory as the JGPSTrackEdit_X_X_X.jar file. 
-It is save to delete any subdirectories or image files. JGPSTrackEdit must be stopped prior to any changes in the map subdirectory.
-* In rare cases (if the internet connection is slow) the map tiles are not loaded properly, which looks a little ugly. Work around: View.Refresh Map. Try also right click on the map tile, then choose from the popup menu "Reload tile". "View.Show tiles" may be useful. Turn on "View.Auto Refresh".
-Tip: Try to preload all required map tiles of your desired area and zoom level by panning around, then wait some time and restart JGPSTrackEdit.

 Why another Track Editor?

-In 2011 the author has planned a tour from his home town Klagenfurt (http://www.klagenfurt.at/) to Rome. (The tour was made in July 2011, 9 days and over 900km). The planning task was quite an effort, since no perfect suitable tool was available (Although there are several useful tools on the internet). So the author decided to programm his own gps track editor. The other motivation was to use the java programming language in a bigger project (to stay fit in programming...)
