Two points which are latitude and longitude, are needed by the tool with the map in decimal forms to connect the tracking points. We could find the tracking points on the map if we have chosen these points previously. The connection of the scale of the map could happen if we click on two points on the map that are 500 meters each other. After we click the mouse on the map, your course will turn up. If we feel like to have intermediate track data, we could choose a point in the tree view and click on the map again.

In viewing some course data, the point will be shown as a red dot on the map. Both data about the whole session and data up to the intermediate point will be shown. GTK Linux and C programming language play role in making the tool.
