Viewing track in Checksites on computer screen

[Martyn]

I have an event in checksites and I would like to view the track I took on the computer screen to use to better georeference the map. Is there any way I can do this please?

Just like all events you can select the option to email the track (GPX file) - it's one of the top right menu items (along with upload, HITMO etc).  I was out yesterday using CheckSite to validate control locations.  i also ran with a watch so I had two tracks to use (often useful as the tracks will not match so call it a second opinion).

I feel a bit stupid as yesterday was the first time I noticed (actually hit the function accidentally on the phone) that CheckSite includes a "Drop Pin" function.  I had been using a separate app to save waypoints.  With the drop pin function these waypoints are included in the GPX file - it worked great.

Whilst you can open the GPX tracks file with a number of applications, including Google Earth, if you just want a quick overview of it, I find "The GPS tracks reader" web app really convenient. See https://www.mygpsfiles.com/app/

Thanks Lawrie, that too is really helpful
