The time is given in Western European Time. This is not always the correct time.
A problem with loading the track in google maps seems te be solved by changing the versionnumber of google map.
It appears that pages sent from Internet Explorer to the printer don't show the map corrrectly. This is a problem that tends to occur on sites with Googlemaps on Internet Explorer. Solutioon (work around) : Using Firefox as your browser eliminates this problem. You can get Firefox here.
Tracks that are drawn by hand with MapSource or an application on a website, sometimes contain incomplete information. Usually the time is not present in the file. Files from gpsies, if the contain more tracks, the tracks all start at the same moment. This is physically impossible, so mytracks can't handle that. An error is the result. Garbage in, garbage out.
Some files are uploaded with a track with so many points that the graphs no longer provide meaningful information. These charts are no longer shown. This is particularly true with climbing speed charts and slopes charts.
In the earth-mode some features may not work. The controls of this type of card is very different from the normal google-earth standards.

Despite the best intentions, there are occasional, unexpected problems. Known issues are presented on this page. If something is not working properly, or you have ideas for a new functionality, please report your issue by submitting a contact form.

Solved issues:

20091230 : The charts were not updates after chosing a different language of units. This is solved now.
20090815: problem solved. Issue: TCX files uploading does not work anymore.
20090424: Solved. A GPX file can contain multiple tracks, multiple routes and multiple waypoints. The tracks are glued together, which may have undesirable effects if the tracks geographically far apart. If the gpx-file contains no track, then operation is not guaranteed. That is not covered bugs, but that is a choice of website: it finally to the tracks! Initial issue: 20090416: If the gpx-file alongside the track there will also be a route contains a cryptic error message. Work Around is yet to only allow tracks and waypoints in gpx-file.
20090408 - Solved: Now you have checked the screen and then automatically switched. Issue: The website shows no convenient sizes smaller than 1280x1024 pixels. Many scroll work is due.
20090402: Solved. Issue: When uploading asks for the drive type and weight. These data are apparently not stored in the database. Through the change-page journey, such data may be adjusted. These are then saved.
20090224: Solved: When changing the weight, the amount of energy supplied recalculated. Issue: The amount of energy and average power are based on the weight of bike + rider + luggage. Yet here is intended for 87 kg. It is possible that weight change, but the calculation for the amount of energy can not be exported, so the effect is not seen (or at the power graph).
20090222: Solved: You can now your name, your email address and your password. Issue: You can not change your login information once they are established.
20090222: Solved: Preventing illegal characters in file names is resolved by checking whether the incorrect characters in file names occur before the upload starts. Issue: Some characters in the file name and another was an error.
20090220: Solved: It is possible to track some administrative details of the change (such as date and title, start, finish place)). It is not possible to change the track itself. That you have to do before you upload the file. Issue: You can not change already uploaded tracks. All you can do is delete and re upload.
20090218: Solved: You can specify whether a file should be overwritten. Issue: When you upload a file with same name as an existing file, then the old file is overwritten without warning.
20090217: Resolved: The appearance of cols. With a strengthened rugged terrain near the col, col ceiling was the wrong choice. Now is that good.
20090216: Solved: The map changes only if the map layer 'track' is active. (issue: If the cols are turned into google maps, zooms in the map layer passes, is that just? n col, then the list disappears on the track. Is there any col detected in the track then zooms in the whole world . A workaround is to export and then click on the track itself).
20090216: Resolved: The view of the cols in the google maps is in order. A point in the track is designated as a College or if the top level of a summit with more than 50 meter is increased compared to the previous minimum, then the top one, unless the following minimum less than 50 meter lower, in which case existence of a local maximum, unless the next is less than the maximum limit to investigate. In short, it is a quite complicated story, that certainly sometimes makes for surprises.

If you do run into bugs, or wishes or ideas? N, then I'd like to hear from you Through this form you can let me know.
