Tips for polishing your multi course maps

If you have duplicated courses e.g. copying and editing the 2* to make the 1*, you will find that one track with be exactly on top of the other. In this case you can overlay the two tracks in the editor and drag them apart. This will change the distance and potentially the minute markers so if you are concerned about this, duplicate the courses and drag the tracks on the duplicates until you are happy with them. Smoothing the track with the editor slider bar will also help move tracks apart.

TOP TIP You can swap quickly between courses that are overlaid in the editor. See Overlaying courses. We will hold a webinar in November 2023.

Fence Lists

Only the fence lists or fence names from the primary course can be displayed on the map. If you wish to add other fence lists, generate a Pdf map for these and use a pdf editor such as Photoshop to cut and paste the map and lists into a new document.
