![]() ![]() Next I switched to Windows and exported some tracks from my Japan folder to a gpx file. Connecting the unit and mounting it was already enough to show up in QMapShack, and allowed me to copy the tracks to my local database. #QMAPSHACK REPORT BUG DOWNLOAD#Next step was to download a data from my last weekend trip to Yarigadake, Kitakama-ridge (unfortunately we had to turn back due to rain). ![]() Getting used to QMapShack is a bit a challenge coming from QuoVadis, but the Wiki help pages allowed a quick start. Fortunately, QMapShack supports Garmin vector maps, the only maps that are (as far as I know) available digitally for Japan. Dealing with GPS units is not a problem, this is the easy part. QMapShack is far from as feature rich as QuoVadis, but as far as I see now, it does have enough features for me and my mountaineering in Japan. So for most of the GPS work I had to reboot my laptop to Windows, do my stuff there, and then switch back to Linux. ![]() For some time I had a VirtualBox installation of Windows, but that was more a clutch than anything else. #QMAPSHACK REPORT BUG PROFESSIONAL#For serious work as a professional it was indispensable for me. I could use the digital raster maps of Austria, Switzerland (SwissTOPO), Germany, France, Italy, as well as Garmin vector maps. While working as mountain guide in Europe it was an essential tool for me. It is extremely feature-rich, and above all it can work with many different maps. QuoVadis is a great program, there is nothing to complain. Let us start with the program I was using since ages, and still are using, QuoVadis. Fortunately, Garmin Maps are supported, and since all my maps regarding Japan are Garmin maps, I am now in the process to converting to QMapShack at least for my Japan GPS data. The one big difference is of course the set of maps one can use with QMapShack. QMapShack is very similar in the target audience, but very different in usage. It only has one disadvantage, it doesn’t work on Linux. QuoVadis is a great program, able to work with various commercial digital maps as well as GPS receivers. I have been using QuoVadis now for many many years, and it contains my mountaineering history all the way back. With this function, you will invert the way of your track and consequently all the data connected to it (mostly elevation profile related).In one of the comments on my last post on Windows 10, a friendly reader from my home country pointed me at QMapShack as a replacement for QuoVadis. ![]() Always by right-clicking, you will be able to open the "Invert Track", that could be helpful. You will be able to name it and transform it from Route to Track (or vice-versa) by right-clicking on its name and select "Create Track from Route" (or vice-versa). When the last point of your itinerary is selected, use the right click of the mouse to stop the Route, that you will be able to see in the box down to the left in the window. To scroll the map just point with the cursor towards the direction you want to move, an arrow will appear and with a click of the mouse, you will move the map. Depending on the path to follow, you will be able to select as many points as you want. The cursor will transform into a pencil and you will be able to select the starting point of the itinerary. Let's move some steps back: in order to create a route, you will need to click on the specific button. ![]()
