Recreate all Thumbnails

The thumbnails shown in Pathmanager will be created based on the current active OpenMapDataProvider. If you frequently change the provider or yu have any other reason why you do not like the current displayed thumbnails, you can start a background process to recreate all thumbnails of your present paths.

Please have in mind, that this process will take a while to complete, since this requires that the app needs to load each path data (at least latitude/longitude) in order to be able to create the map preview. Please also note that depending on the used OMD-Provider

Sync Data…

Even if GPSLogger does not use a Database when you record a path, the information which paths you have stored on your device (previously recorded or imported) is stored in a small database.

The Information displayed in PathManager is based on the database (not on the actual *.gpl files present in your filesystem). This is cause of performance reasons (access to a database is much faster, then scanning the filesystem each time).

By default, the app frequently synchronize the database with the filesystem in order to ensure that all your recorded and imported path will be displayed in the PathManager. This synchronization is running in the background and this implies that the result might be delayed.

When ever you have the feeling that something is missing in PathManager, please make use of the Sync Data function, in order to force a synchronization of the database with the filesystem.
