#MYTRACKS BROKEN HOW TO#

Update : Gunnar from the MyTracks mailing list also points out the following way to retrieve your data: Access your SD card via your normal mechanism (I use ES Explorer) and browse to /Locus/export and youвЂ™ll find the files.Change export type to your preferred option (KML for Google Maps/Earth, for example).Click вЂExport dataвЂ™ on the Data Manager screen.Click the second icon from the top right (cylinder with a floppy disk) to open Data Manager.Go into Phone Settings->Applications and move Locus Free to SD card (I did this so it was easier to access the exported files I wasnвЂ™t sure how else to get them easily).You can fix the problem simply by deleting all your data, which might work if you donвЂ™t care about losing your tracks, but if youвЂ™re like me you probably want to hang on to it.ДЇortunately a clever cookie by the name of Terry just figured out a workaround to this problem вЂ“ it involves installing a new application called Locus Free which can (somehow) access your recorded My Tracks tracks, and then export them to KML or GPX.Д«ased on his instructions I was able to successfully recover all of my recorded tracks, which IвЂ™m pretty happy about.

It is being actively discussed on the My Tracks development mailing list at the moment as several people have been bitten by this and are wondering how to get save their recorded tracks. If you load My Tracks and it just sits there with a black screen and you eventually get the вЂforce closeвЂ™/вЂ™waitвЂ™/вЂ™reportвЂ™ dialog, youвЂ™re probably experiencing this problem. Unfortunately thereвЂ™s a known problem at the moment where the application wonвЂ™t start if the phone crashes or loses power while recording вЂ“ the current theory is that the SQLite database gets corrupted preventing it from loading properly. I was in Europe recently and recorded a bunch of walking tracks on my Android phone using the very handy application My Tracks from Google.
