When trying to generate an auto track a kind of waypoint appears at the clicked position and the triangle button changes into a reverse button. Auto track seems to be disfunctional.

(Windows 10, Chromw)

Kind regards

Hello Helmut

This is normal behaviour: the created mark allows you to adjust location the target point by drag & drop. And the back arrow that appears is the undo function. If no track is drawn on the map, this is because WTracks has exhausted its free credit limit to the routing service. To fix this you can freely create your own OpenRoute account (https://openrouteservice.org/dev/#/signup) and set your API key in WTracks. This account will then also be used for the elevation service.

The process to configure this API key is documented here: https://opoto.github.io/wtracks/doc/#api-keys

Cheers

Hallo Olivier,

I am using an OpenRoute API key for months already. I found out that I had to confirm new conditions. Now WTracks works again - and I like it as before. Thanks for your helpful feedback.
