Data deletion

The data manager that we mentioned in the previous post also allows you to delete data with a high degree of control. To access the feature, login, click on "Devices" at the top of the screen, then click on "[data]". Mark the endpoints of a track, then click "Delete".

Tracks

A couple of days ago we added support for tracks in InstaMapper. To define a track, go to the data explorer (login -> "Devices" -> "[data]"), then select the endpoints. After a track is saved, it can be shared just like your current location. Here is an example:




You can also link to a track (http://www.instamapper.com/trk?key=13916004634505324941) and export a track as a GIF image:




Tracks can contain up to 10,000 points. There is no limit on the total number of tracks in an account.
