What's new in v1.3.0

Polarsteps Integration

Import your Polarsteps trip steps directly into a GetTracks project. Steps appear as amber camera pins on the map alongside your Strava/GPX tracks.

  • Settings → Polarsteps Connection… — enter your username and remember_token cookie to authenticate
  • Add track → From Polarsteps… — browse and import trips; only steps with a description or photos are imported (skips empty location-only steps)
  • Support for buddy trips — enter a trip URL or ID directly when you are not the trip owner
  • Imported steps are persisted in the .gettracks project file and survive app restarts

Waypoint Panel

Clicking a waypoint pin or list row now opens a dedicated detail panel (replacing the elevation chart area) showing:

  • Step name, trip name, and date
  • Full narrative description (scrollable)
  • Clickable photo thumbnails — opens a full-screen photo viewer with ← / → / Esc navigation

Map Hover Tooltips

Hovering over a waypoint pin on the map shows a floating tooltip with the step name, a preview of the description, and up to 5 photo thumbnails.

Waypoints Section

A collapsible Waypoints section below the project list shows all imported steps. Supports:

  • Multi-select with Shift+click, Ctrl+click, and Ctrl+A
  • Right-click → Remove, or press Del / Backspace to delete selected waypoints

Appearance Dialog

Settings → Appearance… consolidates all map visual settings in one place:

  • Tile provider dropdown (OpenStreetMap, CartoDB Positron, CartoDB Dark)
  • Size sliders and colour pickers for Transportation icons, Start & End Point circles, and Waypoint pins
  • Changes preview live on the map; Cancel reverts; Apply persists to ~/.config/GetTracks/settings.json

Bug fixes

  • Photo viewer: try large thumbnail → small thumbnail → full-resolution CDN in fallback order; show the actual error if all fail
  • Photo viewer: added SSL context to avoid certificate errors on some Windows setups
  • Waypoint multi-select: Shift+click no longer collapsed the selection back to one item
  • Elevation chart always visible and correctly refreshed after import

Installation

Download GetTracks-1.3.0-windows-x64.zip, extract, and run GetTracks.exe. No installer required.
